CEO - Shane Richardson

2 July 2024. Richo signs a 4 year deal as Tigers CEO. The prior 6 months were spent clearing out the board and staff.

Twelve months is not long enough to judge. He has made real progress and we have major cap space coming next year.

Look at the Dogs. It took them two years after signing big names to get going. Gus had been laying the groundwork well before that. Yet some want to judge Richo already?

You might not agree with every call. But overall, he has steadied the club and set a clear direction.

No need to panic. Support the club. We are finally heading the right way. Despite what the media or some forum bed wetters say.
 
Richo is on NRL 360 on Monday night for those hoping to get some answers
Imo the club has made the correct decisions to move on Galvin and Da Silva, no further discussion is necessary. If a player is involved in leaking information to the media he should go as well. What is discussed in the dressing sheds between the coaching team and players is confidential like any team environment, not necessarily only in sport.

I actually preferred the first 6 months to the last 12 … so is he heading in the right direction?

Great post bud 👍

I would challenge anyone to take our club from Pascoe and Lee days with the roster we had to finals football in 12 months. There are so many big issues that need addressing, that it's not posible to do it in such a short space of time.

Roster looks great so far with spare cash to add the missing pieces. The compromise is we are being patient to sign the right players rather than just anyone available right now.

Campbo/Leichhardt negotiations.

Galvin situation - he was never going to stay, but he put the big offer out there and didn't die wondering.

Da Silva sitiation - resolved with minimum fuss. Just as I'm glad he chose Api over him, there will be others who disagree. I don't see that as being wrong even if they went the other way, I would have understood why. Both camps have strong and valid reasoning to support either decision.

Add KPP and Taylan May.

Way more competitive in games.

What is there to be truly upset about? I'd rather have a few more W's, but we are a class player or two short with plenty of movement early to mid season, so it's been disruptive.

Let's not look at isolated decisions, but rather his term as a whole. I'd much rather be where we are now vs where we were last year.

The only possible explanation I can think of is all the other teams are progressing and improving at a speed beyond ours. Evidence of a remarkable and rare set of circumstances, accompanied by all of our signings coming from other teams and our upcoming juniors going to other teams.
Storm donkey licked us by 64 this year, which is an impressive accomplishment considering last years 72 point loss.

Richo came here all guns ablazing ,,. Particularly with the attitude to the owners…it was his way or the highway for him , and he said he wasn’t taking any crap in that department …

Then the appointment of the independent board and the implementation of the review recommendations seemed to drag … I wonder if maybe the penny dropped that this was going to be an absolute turd fight and might have take the wind out of his sails a bit ?
 
I hate this line, because you are basically implying anyone who is critical or perceived as negative doesn't support the club - absolute load of crap.
Not at all. I'll point out things I don't agree with too, but I also know there are probably 50% of others that view it a different way. The problem is they take one issue, that won't have more than 2-5% impact and turn it into the worst decision the club has ever madenin theor eyes and continue to bith and moan about it. I'm just saying show some balance. It's easy to rage about 1 or 2 things in isolation which then implys you can't find anything positive to discuss. It goes both ways no?

I mean...if you're being fair, many have said it's not working and we should burn the club down. Would you call this simply being critical or something else? Turning every tiny decision the club makes into a federal case damages the club and gives the media and bed wetters ammunition to cut us down. There are far more positives than negatives in my view.
