This is Rubbish.
Cronulla fixed a loosing franchise.
They did it by getting Sticky then selectively targetting whom to bring into their team.
Wests tigers aren't fixing our franchise. We can be fixed but our management chooses not too.

Vegas will be such a flop, no tigers supporter is forking out money to go to Vegas to watch us lose against the Storm

There's no guarantee that will happen, we are not playing them in Melbourne, at full strength it would be hard to pick a winner after the form we witnessed at the start of the season.

Melbourne are having a bad season but they won't be having two consecutive bad seasons
Maybe he wants him to do another pre season before chucking him in the deep end.full on

Bit of a lazy generalisation…
The Chicago Cubs went 108 years between World Series ,..the Red Sox 80 something
Those teams made playoffs and World Series over those 100 years. This team can’t even make a top 8

The Cubs had a 38 yr playoff drought and the Red Sox 28 years ….harder to make admittedly

Tend to agree. The people (I know) who want to travel to watch NRL over there have already done it; it’s out of their system and won’t be going again. Our general economy is also crap.
Baseball also has no salary cap Red Sox dealt with Yankees
Nrl has only had 4 GFs that don’t involve Panthers roosters storm notices since 1998 that isn’t changing this year either.
Shows the cap doesn’t work and it’s about franchise culture
That’s why Tigers will never be fixed
Titans won’t ever be either this ud Gold Coasts 4th try and failing again after 21 years

So ? Never mentioned that … my point is it’s wrong to say things like “it’s the worst franchise in sporting history “ …. It’s not even close .. yet…
The salary cap actually helps to even out the competition.. how many players have Penrith lost over the last few years… we’ve benefited from a couple ourselves

One thing that has been constant over our decade and a half of misery is under funding. We have tried numerous coaches, we have changed CEOs, We have changed the board and changed players….but under funding of the franchise has been with us for the whole miserable journey. It’s right across the whole club from juniors to the NRL team, everything is run on a shoe string budget.
Sadly the place is in such a shambles it’s going to take a massive influx of capital and probably 5 more years of pain to see the momentum change

They have made the semis 3 times in 26 years 2 of those years were based off 3 good months
Before that the merger was made by a team that gash seen semis since 1990 and another team that seen finals twice in 20 years and getting flogged by 50 each week
Add to off field drama year after year ect ect
Worst franchise in history l. No one has it worse

The time has come for the HBG to either sell the franchise to someone who is going to fund the joint and get the necessary expertise right across the club, or put enough capital into the club and employ the right people to turn the joint around. Surely they must be embarrassed to see their brand name as a laughing stock
Too busy trying to get the Magpies back in the NRL..prioritising having their mates on boards and changing the home jersey from orange to white unfortunately….imagine having an owner like Arthur Laundy invest in club success before profits.
