Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Thats exactly what happened
we were the only gig available at that time.which quickly changed when Gus maneuvered his chess pieces
Frankly.Im not totally convinced on Ciraldo as a coach without Goulds puppet strings attached

Ciraldo also spoke to Ivan about the Tigers role.,,and Ivan told him to run a 100 kms away ,,, this is the pre Richo days dealing with the swamp

Imagine if just half of that 9 million dollar profit was injected into Wests Tigers.

You may not have to spend the most of all the clubs on football operations to be successful, but you won't get there if you spend one of the lowest amounts.
I feel it's kind of like the chicken and the egg. The Wests Tigers will have far more chance of being self sustaining and turning over much larger profit if they are successful in their core role i.e winning football games. To get to that point they need significant financial input to begin with. The question is, how much do HBG want to own a SUCCESSFUL NRL team? That success is going to require more than a million dollars a year to get going. Over to you HBG.

HBG certainly do want to own a successful football team… only problem is that it’s Western Suburbs Magpies and not WestsTigers.

Fah RTS is on the verge of signing with R360 for a million dollars

Yes, it’s like there’s a gap in people’s minds.

He did everything he could to lead us on that he wanted the gig and then at the last minute, he cowered out.

This is fact because I’ve discussed it with a former club cadre member.

There was a great deal of anger levelled at him afterwards and he was considered untrustworthy.

He did the wrong thing by us. He’s not to be lionised or looked up to. I’m afraid he is another entry into the book of our club enemies.

If they are chasing NRL players… than the Aussie Rugby Union is in trouble…

Not if the board arnt happy. Or worse the useless owners who have tinkered already this year according to Adel Hage when they demanded Galvin return to first grade after Benji dropped him.

Saudi money is no joke , NRL wouldn’t be able to compete with them.
So far they’re after Ponga RTS & Papi i’d imagine there’s plenty more

I agree ..I wouldn’t be underestimating the threat ..but $1m won’t be enough to get the really big names … Papi won’t go for that…

Good then we should have the best team in the comp cause all our players are playing like crap.

Richo may be spirited away to manage Kuwaiti Sloths.

He could install as many corporate boxes as he wants.

Told again today Benji gone end of year

And

If that's the case, who is the replacement? Surely it would have to be an experienced coach
