Could be... Doubtful though!!
Enlighten us all, What are we losing?

I'll kick it off for you,
A 73 yr old bloke who's shown no evident contribution in his time here (Unless you're counting the glitter)
that no other club wanted around 6 years ago when we gave him a job.

He played 35 first grade games, which would be 35 more than you, and was trainer of choice for premiership and SOO winning coaches for 30 years. How's your resume look compared to his?
I never said we shouldn't have let him go, he just doesn't need nobodies like yourself giving him a bagging at the end of a brilliant career.

You hit the nail on the head there.

Des Haslier I respect as a coach. When he went from Manly to the Dogs, he coached to the players he got.
Sheens had a slow team and went "let’s play fast footy".

And it lasted about two weeks. I couldn’t believe they were playing that style. Despite not making the finals so many years during his first tenure, we at least had the cattle to play an attacking brand of footy. We had Marshall in the halves. This year we had Wakeham.

That's hilarious if Fulton gets the chop

But not unexpected. It appeared as though he was hired to recruit the Fainus and p off the coach? Both those goals have been achieved.

 

[phil1986]

i have made that observation. Same with news highlights. I guess it’s likely most players have made a break or scored tries against us. Thought it was just my own bias lol

🤷‍♂️

Been told that Lee & Fulton will be let go after yesterday’s meeting & the club will be backing Benji all the way (hence Fulton being let go) Whether it happens or not is a different story but thought i’d share here.

Benji is being backed by the club? Wow 😮
the last coach the club supported was Ivan.

is not a real thing

Did you see the recent post from @BlackWhiteGold with the number of Mario players we have. Coincidence?

I can't see how people are upset about this. Club management are showing off their chops.

Our biggest problem is getting a decent team on the park. If we've already picked up the best prospects Fulton could get us and we let him go so be it.

Can’t see the club moving Fulton on imo
But I could see who he reports to change

If "Fulton players" means players managed by Tartak - it again proves my point that "Fulton players" is a misnomer!

Whether Fulton is good, bad, toxic or smells like roses is irrelevant. It would be so Wests Tigers to hire someone and then change their undies - what a stupid decision if true.
Now wonder we are a basket case. No wonder not many good players or their managers have wanted to come to near it for years.
Cut these kind of cancers out whoever they may be.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If Fulton was to indeed be let go, there’s always the chance that he’s a scapegoat. Because, it’s not like this club was motoring along before he got here. Time for some of the higher ups to hit the bricks as well. If Lee goes, that’s a great way to start.

A recruitment manager who has been here for 6 months is hardly a scapegoat. I wonder what you'd scapegoat him for ? Getting the Fainu's here ? Re-signing Api ?

One of the main gripes of the guys who wanted the review was the inability of the club to stick to a plan and here we go again. The media will have another day out. Of course if it is true

 

[supercoach]

As for Lee we need his cash, if we can get him to walk away from the spotlight he is valuable to us, but that is a big if as self promotion is a tool he loves to use

He is a tool who loves himself and uses self promotion to stay in the spotlight.
I just thought I would jumble your words around to see what happened.
Agree with you though he’d be much better for the club if he wasn’t in the media all the time. Board member is his best position.

The Sheens / Tigers DNA plan at least had some logic behind it. Knifing Sheens and hiring Fulton was just amateurish. Everyone responsible needs to go play in a different sandpit. Rugby Leagues not for them.

NRL hands us enough money to run football every year. We don’t need Lee.

Front of jersey sponsors are a big deal too. I doubt we would be short of suitors, even with us coming dead last.

it's all about the sales pitch. Potentially a rags to riches tale for a big corporate backer. Marshall offers a company a lot of exposure too. We can move on from the seedy law firm no worries.

Jersey sales explode minus the Brydens logo.
