I’m looking for Tigers membership hats for the following years. 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2015 If anyone has ones in great condition I would like to buy one of each. Happy to negotiate price and pay for shipping. Thanks!!

Steve, A few people have already explained this so apologies if you have already seen it. If we pay him 300k out of this years cap and 200k out of next year it’s still 500k impact next year. Put it this way. Say he stays. We then front load another player an extra 300k this year and reduce...

Yes, I believe that the Australian Federal govt has a bill at the moment that will help ensure the Australian chiefs players don’t get caught by the standard residency rules. PNG has already passed legislation on their side. It makes a lot of economic sense when you think it through...

Good on you Shaun, welcome to the forum. You obviously realise that some on here are just angry at the world, please try to laugh some feedback off. As a 16 consecutive year member I remain committed to supporting the club financially. In this context HBG funding is my largest frustration...

Putting this here because I heard an imbecile journalist describing there being a tax payment when a player returns to Australia. No true at all. Thats a UK things. short version: Luai sells his Aussie house, buys a house in PNG, moves wife and kids there, sets up local bank accounts...

I think it has worked fine. Our roster is light years ahead of where it was. He has played a significant part in that. Yes, there are other factors too. grab a team sheet from pre-Luai…

I almost wrote this message last night. Well said MTD. My view too. However, I also now get a cold shiver thinking about Luai and $1.2m for the next three years. I’ll never forgive the HBG rabble for last year but I will admit that their disgraceful incompetence MAY have a silver lining.

If we get 900k back out of Luai’s money then for me this will be the best negotiation of a player exit in Tigers history. Adam Doueihi is an experienced running half with a strong long kicking game. We then have an upcoming running half in Javon. That is balance. Keeping Luai doesn’t make us...

I put my tin foil hat on, played some reruns of Mr Squiggle and started connecting a few dots 10 days… Against Newcastle Luai didn’t call a single play Few days later, late onset concussion… Perhaps the club told him before the Newcastle game, then they gave him the week off once they...

Leadership is incredibly well researched. You may be surprised to learn that some of the most credible, evidence based long term reviews of the subject suggest the opposite to the instinct expressed in your answer. Do a quick search on Jim Collins and Level 5 leader.

3 Sukkar 2. Toa 1. AD HM Skelton for effort.

Me likes. Young bloke who got a bit lost. I’m no too worried about first grade for him. I would celebrate him enjoying his footy and continuing to build his life as an adult.

I would change Wests Tigers starting to shaft contracted players. I feel poetic justice followed us from that point. Gibbs, Ryan… then Sheens, then not following through with Benji and Farah getting their money, the list goes on… For me, it’s not if the above was commercially or rationally...

This. Early last year he had a run of games where he was elite. I wish him all the best but definitely the right call for both parties. Super interested in if we are paying freight

This is such an education for me. I would of guessed we were top 3
