that's fair...However you would have extended him for another 5 years after our performances in the first 8 rounds of this year (and we did). I know its the most important metric, however games won and lost should just be a heavily weighted metric amongst a number of others when you are judging a coach.

Correct and as soon as Luai departed the wheels were set in motion. We are an easy target rebuilding club rookie GM, inexperienced coach, roster with no depth. For once I don’t blame the club here there’s zero they can do about this. Cut ties and rebuild again.

He was probably expecting a bit of that Luai mulah and instead he was told to play lock off the bench..
 
The club can’t afford to lose him. If he does go, 2027 looks bleak. It already is, but even more so if we have to run with Latu/Andrews with Madden as back up. Throw in Bula who has checked out and Api a year older, we won’t get out of the bottom 4. AD gives us something at least.

I’m not a lawyer, but when the governance is this seemingly inept, and has had multiple examples of repeated failure I don’t think the NRL would consider them to be sound custodians of their franchise.

How are the inept ? Is the club broke ? Unable to pay debts ? Conducing illegal business practices

Being shit on the field and just being crap doesn’t fall under that to have licence revoked or not renewed
 
Sounds like AD and Benji worked it out like gentleman, as we expected they would.

Well done.

Seems AD got his way.
Bye Jarome and Morris.
Wonder what the issue with Morris is.

i'm serious - obviously your not - people keep saying the licence should be revoked but how about they put up on what grounds they think the NRL could revoke the licence. They don't even revoke licences of teams that are repeat salary cap cheaters.

Agree with your point. Revoking the license is seriously unlikely. I doubt they would be able to prove a sufficient breach in the participation agreement to revoke.

Non-renewal is the more likely outcome or option.

HBG don't own the licence - the licence is granted to the Wests Tigers brand. Much like a liquor licence is granted to a pub premises and not the owner if that makes sense.

A financial boycott by fans would absolutely trigger the NRL to take interim control in place of renewal and find a new owner.

However, if people think the NRL are going to just not renew the licence and we all just have to sit on our ass waiting for it to happen have another thing coming.

500 people at a march is not serious. Pushing for independence is not serious - HBG can strip independence at any moment (and have done that). Serious means withholding membership, not going to games, sustained fan boycott and sustained negative media attention whether we are winning or losing.

Arthur Laundy was (and probably still is) a Tigers man. He was asked to be involved in the club and the Tigers Board (and calling that rabble a Board is an oxymoron) insulted him and questioned his credentials. Off he went to the Bulldogs and I know which club is better resourced. That's one who would be interested.

I think you'd be surprised who'd be interested in owning the Tigers....

Problem we have is the multi millionaires that could all buy the club are in their 70's and 80's, we have been crap for so long that we have lost a generation or two of fans. Arthur and Harry's kids are probably following other clubs.....I have to threaten and bribe my kids to remain loyal to the WT...its almost child abuse.
