Sad but unfortunately true.He has 2024 or at least the end of it to prove without a doubt that he deserves to be in our squad.I am not holding my breath and he is a long way behind others at this stage

Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut instead of bagging the coach to his mates.

He was bagging the club and being teabagged by Lee

That would also have to involve learning how to tackle to an under 12's standard.

Yes this was my first reaction... Great work... And anything else with their fingerprints on it needs to be removed or deleted
Some blow in has got a few of you worked up... Seriously ignore this clown, if anything eventuates re: players wanting out down the track then worry about it then.
It's trolling classic trolling ands up being all about the troll and not the topic.
Just wanna get something straight... There's 4 Fainu brothers correct?
*We already had one a backrower in reggies? Christian name?
*
We signed the two from Manly a half and prop (Latu & Samuels) they played 18s Origin last year
*There's another brother doing a stretch inside, is this the one Gus visiited? Name please.

The one Gus visited in prison out of his deep concern and love for all people when he was trying to sign the brothers.
I wonder if he's been back?
I've never been a fan of Gus.

PAMELA WHALEY reveals how commonsense has come to Tiger Town.
Pamela Whaley
Wests Tigers were the butt of the joke for a long time before it stopped being funny.
For years, and especially in the past few, there’s been a laundry list of random and baffling stories coming out of the Concord club.
At times it felt like a weekly circus event.
The gaffes and bad performances all made for perfect newspaper fodder, premium meme content for social media pages and water cooler chitchat to torture a local Tigers fan.
But for the good people involved in the club, and the legions of passionate supporters, it grew painful.
Every new year brought with it a new sense of hope to grasp on to, in the form of a new coach, a succession plan, change of staff, a centre of excellence or some classic PR spin about bringing the good old days of 2005 back.
None of it held much weight, and soon, the disappointments mounted, hopes were smashed and although everything was changing the cycle was on a sickening repeat.
That it got so bad fans stepped in is quite astonishing.
More than 2000 supporters signed a petition for an external review into the club, which resulted in a massive clean out from CEO to chairman, and members of the board.
While at the time it was another chapter in the seemingly endless drama, it proved there’s a solid supporter base of people who don’t care about personalities or about short-term pain. They care about the club and long-lasting, meaningful change.
And now they’re getting it with Shane Richardson at the top.
The axing of recruitment boss Scott Fulton on Tuesday, as well as Alan Thompson, head of wellbeing and education and a gear steward, marked the start but not the end of rapid and dramatic renovations at the Wests Tigers.
Experienced NRL administrator and interim chief executive Richardson made the call on Tuesday morning and this masthead broke the news not long afterwards.
There was little fuss, no leaks beforehand, and both parties spoke on the record to this masthead after the fact, with Richardson flagging more changes within the next 30 to 40 days leading into the NRL trials.
It’s never nice for hard working people to lose their jobs, but all of this somehow made sense.
No clowns, no parade, no jokes.
The axing of Fulton appears to be the kind of common sense decision based in strong leadership that the Tigers have been crying out for.
Fulton, who was hired at the club behind head coach Benji Marshall’s back last year, became somewhat of an elephant in the room in the football department.
Despite Richardson’s insistence that his exit was not about a clash of personalities, rather there being no need for a recruitment boss under his governance, the net result is what’s best for the club as a whole.
Weirdly, this one decision has been a ray of hope to a fan base that are so reluctant to believe in change, but will, because that’s what good supporters do.
Whatever 2024 brings for the Tigers on the field, it feels like something has shifted. There’s a new level of respect for the way the club goes about their business.
The bar may be in hell but it’s finally being cleared.

Some on here think he's Don Corleone.
The man (Gus the Bullfrog wannabe) was out maneuvered by freakin' Pascoe for the Fainu brothers.

Speaking of offers.
Looks like Richo made Fulton an offer he couldn't refuse, left the building without a wimper and nothing from his very own Godfather, so far at least.

Richardson is so clear and focused
Really highlights how poor previous management team was with no accountability.
They got away with to much.

Exactly. Who cares what he says.
Or is it the fact Richo has built up so much respect within the rugby league world, that nobody dares to question his decisions ?
Compare that to Pascoe who just could not build respect, he could have made the same decisions as Richo and been heavily criticised.
At the end of the day, the recent on field results meant we needed someone of Richo’s status to have outsiders, media and our own fans take the club seriously again,

I had to laugh 😂 when Lee told us he had done a complete due diligence on the suitability of Fulton for the newly created position of ‘head of recruitment’ by speaking with Hadley…😂

Shame about Alan Thompson as he is highly regarded in the Welfare space. Hoping this area of the football club does not go backwards as its presence cannot be underestimated.
I would assume the gear steward is Vincent Marando who has been around for ages. If so, are they bringing in Bryce Gibbs for that role 🙂
