Should have got it done earlier …Richo might have played hardball a couple of weeks too long ..😂
I think with PVL involved sanity might prevail , unless I’ve missed something whilst sleeping.
Sometimes I think the nrl encourages stories like X teams are the pinup teams Y teams are the dregs , and everyone else in between . Just as it creates drama and narratives , and adds to the spectacle . But I can’t see how letting the tigers be run. Off a cliff is good for business for the nrl. It was fun whilst it lasted re. 3 spoons , but now it f it continues our place in the nrl , surely should be in question , as a viable entity moving forward . Especially with consortiums in Brisbane , Adelaide , Christchurch , Rockhampton/Bundaberg , central coast , all waiting to stick thier hand up for a team.
The logo should be wests tigers at all grades. The Harold Matt’s kids should pull on the same jersey as luai and Bula . There should be connective tissue there.
But there’s literally zero. The first time you put on a wests tigers jersey is jersey flegg for a year or / then your back wearing the magpies again . Training in the middle of Sydney for some reason . It makes zero sense and never has … queue crazy magpies logic about how it does make sense …

Jedi Tiger = Wests Tigers
I am not the one making abusive comments in relation to something with no relevance to the post you replied to.
Read things properly and think before you speak.
No they don’t. Use your words, disagree and try to convince them with the strength of your argument. If you can’t or they won’t be convinced, then move on. You should be better than that.

We’re on a football forum talking and disagreeing about how said football club is run. Bit dramatic to label it as a war. Name calling is usually a sign that you know your argument is weak.

The state’s liquor and gaming watchdog has put the majority owners of Wests Tigers on notice following the latest boardroom dramas engulfing the club.
The Holman Barnes Group, the Tigers’ 90 per cent shareholder, has sacked four independent Wests Tigers directors including chairman Barry O’Farrell, a move that has clouded the future of chief executive Shane Richardson.
The developments have piqued the interest of Liquor & Gaming NSW, the body that sacked the Parramatta Leagues Club board in 2016 for ceasing to become an effective governing body. They were the same directors who had sat on the Parramatta Eels club board when the club was embroiled in a salary cap scandal.
“Liquor & Gaming NSW is not currently investigating any matters involving Western Suburbs Leagues Club or the Holman Barnes Group,” said a spokesperson for Liquor & Gaming NSW.
“However, we are monitoring these latest developments involving the board.
“Registered clubs must operate with the highest standards of integrity in the interests of their members as required under the Registered Clubs Act.”

We’re legit pushing the self destruct button as a football club and it’s sickening.
We finally turn over profit, crowd attendance rising, membership numbers on the rise, marquee players signing, on field performances improving after 3 wooden spoons in a row with a clear plan for the future but most importantly over anything the fans started to believe.
Then this happens….
Over what the jerseys being more orange than black, after the last 5 seasons of our jerseys being predominantly black.
It’s embarrassing.
If Richo stands down over this then it might be the biggest loss the club has ever had, easily leapfrogs Teddy, Moses, Galvin etc.
This would be far more damaging than anything we’ve ever experienced. Makes you question how much you can really take before the passion wares off.
HGM has finally shown us who’s really to blame for the last 15 years of chaos.
Sad sad day for the club.

True but somehow psychologically it relieves the tension building up in people's heads, annoying comments tend to make some people cut loose.

I disagree.
I reckon most of the players (like every other Gen Z’r on the planet) aren’t having deep n meaningful conversations about the Wests Ts board.
I can tell.you the players do not care about this stuff, providing they get assurances from the people they report to which is Benji and Richo.
If either of Benji or Richo depart then yes it will likely cause disruptions to our playing roster.
Unless that happens you are basing all your anger on your own speculation.
Remember true champions do not look for excuses.

Maybe, but the name calling in this thread has been way over the top. I get it’s an emotional topic, but be adults.
