OFFICIAL Wests Tigers Unite: Call to Arms

[Ecto-1]

Didn’t Anthony Field from the Wiggles want to buy the Tigers before?

I love the discussion but you’re all missing the cashed up elephant in the room, watching and waiting. I’m not saying any more than that.

Luke Brooks?

Is there a buyer lurking in the background Joel?

I'm only speculating. Joel is probably privy to info he can't elaborate on but like....

NRL 17th team bids: Meet the Brisbane Firehawks - theTigers.com.au

By Joel Spreadborough (ESPN) Easts Tigers leagues club, in Coorparoo, just south of the Brisbane CBD, is both a monument to 105 years of rugby...

thetigers.com.au

The Tigers sought out a club stalwart to help modernise their bid. Shane Richardson is a former Easts man, best known to NRL fans from his tenure as CEO of the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Alongside his son Brent, Richardson runs ‘Rich Digital,’ a digital marketing firm responsible for creating tech-based experiences to complement and enhance real life. Brent’s previous experience has given him a deep understanding of the power of creating the perfect ‘UX’ (User Experience) in the digital space. He and the team at Rich Digital helped devise a blueprint intended to put Firehawks on an equal pedestal with some of the world’s most prominent sporting brands, and turn rugby league into a 24/7 proposition for its supporters.

“Teams like the Los Angeles Lakers have created the perfect balance of digital accessibility and match day experience, and you see people wearing Lakers singlets all over the world,” Richardson explains.

The first part of the digital plan was acquiring a fan base, one not already aligned- to the Broncos, Titans, or even rugby league itself- and serving their needs. Firehawks uncovered some big numbers relating to just how many of them are out there.

“There are 4.4 million casual sport fans throughout Australia. And that means people who like sport, but aren’t necessarily rusted on to any team or code.”

Richo lived and breathed this bid for years. It writes itself if you ask me.

The south’s takeover begun from an unofficial fan forum called the Rabbitoh Warren .

Killing off George Piggins took some doing but it transformed south’s from a chook raffle club to one of the strongest in the NRL

wiggle wiggle

Gonna need ten times more than what they have so far

Yeah maybe. Really only need enough to make the HBG board pack it up as a lost cause and decide they have better things to do with their lives.

Sell to another leagues club we will have the same garbage

The Brisbane-Sydney Easts Firetigers sponsored by The Wiggles.

 

[cochise]

A couple of years back there was a sponsor that Westslife interviewed who put the org on blast majorly. What was his name again?

Interesting timing on this post.

Firehawks wasn't so much a leagues club bid as a private consortium of rich guys. Brisbane Easts themselves have nowhere near the capital required. They were just part of the group.

Crap - they need to get their shit together ,onwards n up Dennis

And people who’ve been living in the shadows aren’t always comfortable with scrutiny.

Not a denture, I mean debenture in sight.

Got you, sorry my bad I didn't have time to go over the vid cause I'm at work atm, as long as they can continuously and are willing to keep putting money in and don't want to move the Tigers anywhere away from the Macarthur region, great.

Yeah I'd suspect the same people sans the Brisbane Tigers themselves would be pretty interested in what's happening with the Tigers given Richo was their footy guy they brought in to lend credibility to the bid. As I said it writes itself imo.

Couldn't realistically see them buying the Tigers truthfully. HBG I doubt would sell and the Brisbane consortium would want a team up there not in Sydney.

 

[poopy_diaper]

Actually upon digging deeper I think I'm wrong. Brisbane Tigers might have been independently financially capable of the bid.

“We have 38,000 members, $80 million in assets, $25 million in cash reserves, and zero debt,” explains Brian Torpy.

Richo is the guy though. If the Tigers were up for sale and he was the CEO he'd have no issues finding the money for it.
