Better club, better coaching, better players or all of the above.

Yep Ricky's doing a good job with the team he's got.
I don't know that credit goes to the club mascot/ Ricky's barista though does it?

You know what sticks in my mind when Sheens arrived in 03 🤔 I can’t recall Sheens’ exact wording, but I knew exactly what he was saying...in my words, ‘every single person in the organisation, yes including the cleaners needs to have a copy of the same hymn book regardless if some are singing out of tune, at least they’ll be singing the same song. 😜

‘Fish rots from the head’: Tigers chair walks out of fundraiser after Alan Jones attack
The broadcaster called for the removal of the Wests Tigers board, in front of representatives from all 17 NRL clubs, at a fundraising lunch to support Daniel Anderson.
Jones, the Balmain coach between 1991 and 1993, was interviewed on stage by Fox League host Yvonne Sampson and was asked about his views on the club’s struggles.
The former radio broadcaster called for the removal of the Wests Tigers board in front of a crowd of about 400, which included representatives from all 17 NRL clubs who had bought a table to support Anderson. The former Eels and Warriors coach became a quadriplegic following a body-surfing injury last year.
Sources at the Unite for Daniel Long Lunch function in the Queen Elizabeth II Grandstand Ballroom of Royal Randwick Racecourse said Hagipantelis left an hour early.
Hagipantelis was sitting with coach Tim Sheens and fellow Wests Tigers directors when Jones criticised the club’s powerbrokers. The Tigers are bottom of the NRL ladder after a 74-0 loss to the Cowboys last weekend. It was compounded by a defeat to Cronulla on Thursday.
Hagipantelis confirmed Jones criticised the club but would not comment about the issues related to him and his directors.

The Tigers are understood to have spent close to $10,000 to support Anderson and attend the luncheon.
This masthead has approached Jones for comment. He was spotted at several rugby league games this year, sitting alongside Canberra coach Ricky Stuart and former Tigers coach Michael Maguire.
Stuart brought Jones into Canberra’s inner sanctum, at the request of his old coach, for the win that opened Magic Round at Suncorp Stadium in May.
Stuart’s relationship with Jones goes back 38 years, when Stuart attended an under-21s rugby union camp at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra following his stint with the Australian Schoolboys team.

Stuart says he owes his life to Jones. In 1998, Stuart had collapsed on three occasions, including once at training. At the time, the doctors didn’t think it was serious.
Then Stuart’s friend Don Furner, who is now Raiders chief executive, visited him and called Fordham for help. His next phone call was to Jones.

“Turns out I had encephalitis, which is swelling of the brain,” Stuart said.
“If it wasn’t for Alan. Honestly. He organised for Kerry Packer to supply his private jet and get it to Canberra immediately to fly me to St Vincent’s Hospital. I was gone. I was very ill. If I didn’t get to St Vincent’s, I don’t know what the outcome would have been.
“Donny saw the situation and how ill I was. I went to Canberra hospital three times and got sent home three times. My body was failing.”

He got 10k out of your club to attend. I'm sure he doesn't mind. He might get a job out of the drama.

I’m so confused. Alan was shit for the club but LH is also shit. But maybe more shit on LH is good shit. But if shit from a a grade shithead is delivered on shit, does it cancel out?
Also, why did the raiders let Jones into the male players change room? I’m so confused by all this.
Edit: also, all this shit was shitted on the dudes charity event. So much brown in one article. I need a lay down.

Bahahaha sagi hagi... Such a soft _ _ _ _.
It's true.
Telegraph asked him about the extent of what was said and he was quoted saying:
"It was enough for me to leave", and when asked to comment further said, "Not worth it. It speaks for itself."

The best response to Alan would be to appoint Julia Gillard as chairperson.
