Ha that's actually an insightful point, when I was at Panthers the identity was a key part that was missing. the colours were black rust and teal, i was very passionate about getting back to the licorice all sorts and the pink just took off as a replacement for the teal away.

Of course that's the focus, winning football games in the ugliest jerseys I'm sure everyone would take that. I hope you can appreciate that spending a bit of time on my day off every fortnight to see what supporters think of the jerseys for next year isn't losing focus. My weekend will not be on...

In regards to jerseys I am keen to get everyone's thoughts on what the long term should look like. I am curious when I look back at the history of the club the most common Wests Tigers jersey is the mainly black jersey with white and orange V. Many past administrators that I have spoken to about...

Hey Krissy, this is something that had been a focus on the last few matches to address this directly. hopefully those at the last home game who hung around might have noticed. We are putting in some better processes for next season.

Hey Blooey, i think that this is across the NRL not just the Tigers. The gap between super league & NRL has arguably become alot greater. the world cup is usually where the special gems get highlighted and recruited from. Yes we have contacts over there but i get your point for sure.

Yes - There is a review and plans to improve the resources and structure that we have allocated to our coaching ranks. Obviously I can't talk about the plans until we implement them.

I can say that at the start of the season our entire pathways communication was non-existent as we were short staffed. We have an amazing media team with some new (and old) faces in the team and I'll let them know the feedback on pathways comms. I agree this is an important area to ensure we...

Hey 426TIgerland There is a lot of history and background here, to be honest I am just getting my head around the 26 year journey here and a lot of this stems right back to when the club started. Also Lidcombe Oval plays a vital role in our pathways and this is operated by the Wests Magpies...

The allocation of what jerseys are being played where is done prior to the season starting and is done by the staff here at the club not boards. the Club did not communicate this at all to the fans and was a huge miss, the only mitigating factor for the staff is that this was all taking place in...

Hey Fainu Brothers. I don't actually know if Richo did directly try to rebrand the NSW Cup team to Wests Tigers. In my time I had not heard that this was directly tabled or discussed - it could have happened before I started but no-one has said to me that this happened or what happened if it...

Yeh great call. I haven't been apart of the draw process with NSWRL but I am looking forward to better understanding how we can maximise our matches to be played together - womens included in this as well.

I am very much in regular comms with Wests Macarthur and our long term plans for facilities in the South West. Particularly for the pathways I regional sports facility that compliment the junior league is a vital piece of the puzzle and Campbelltown Council are also a key driver for this. I;m...

We have space to be in the market at the moment yes.

Hey liltiger, I might have missed your original question but happy to answer this one. Firstly whilst I don't buy into the "toxic" part I can say that yes the cultural & standards are a huge focus. There are key areas that upon reflection are learnings for the club. For example the clarity on...

Hey everyone I've got some time today and checking back in. It looks like I may have missed a lot of posts since my last visit and I really do appreciate the honestly and also the moderation. It is why I do value the forum because it is a place for genuine debate and discussion in an effective...
