Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I grew up in the inner west and I know plenty of Wests Tigers fans from the area who never miss a Leichhardt Oval game, but think it’s beyond them to head any further west than Ashfield.
Our South-West based supporters embrace Leichhardt Oval much more than our Inner West based supporters embrace Campbelltown and I don’t think you need to do a survey to work that out.
Throw in all our South West based players who continue to get overlooked and shafted.
We once had a CEO who kept saying we are a development club and we embrace the South-West.
Actions speak much louder than words.

With Shark park having the capacity of Pratten park certainly would not help your business plan.
It’s funny for a successful franchise for a long time they have always had financial woes. I thought they made a zillion from their land deal and were set for life. Hopefully they have to offload a few players…to us

Should the wests tigers bring back Pratten park back to life in some way shape or form?

Well anyone who’s sat on the hill with the sun setting knows what it used to be like.
The Wayne Pearce stand at the southern end used to be the main stand with dressing rooms underneath.
Percy’s used to be called the North Sydney hotel and was a very popular waterhole before, during and after the game ( seeing it’s about 50 paces from the main entrance).
New stadiums have the facilities but they don’t have that character like the old grounds. Henson Park, Pratten Park, Belmore, Redfern, Kogarah, Sydney Sports Grounc, North Sydney, Leichhardt.
All had their unique attractions . There I go again reminiscing. Good days.

League should be played at pratten park again atleast at Park footy level for the seniors or junior , but I think AFL took it.

I’m an old Pratten Park Magpie and love going to Leichhardt but also think the clubs long term future is in a first rate stadium at Campbelltown

Pratten park needs to be brought back to life and have league played there again in the lower grades. And ctown stadium for the first and 2nd grade.

Averillo ✅️
Brailey ✅️
Mann ✅️
Frizzell ❓️
Schiller ❓️

Solomone, extended.
Hopefully Sukkar & the Fainus, also extended.

Honestly, that's not a bad recruitment drive.

Benji's primary aim is recruiting quality depth. Had nothing 20-30 this season. I am happy with how this is working out. Some solid signings with experience. Schiller carved up at the Raiders. Would be immense if we could get that player out of him.

latest link: James Schiller via Sports Confidential

James Schiller could be on the move before next season despite having 12 months left on his contract at the Knights.

The Tigers are one club who have been linked with the 25-year-old who is free to leave Newcastle immediately if he secures a deal elsewhere.

Schiller arrived at Newcastle last season from Canberra and played 17 top grade games. But managed just one first grade game this year as he fell down the pecking order in a Newcastle side who marched towards the grand final.

Schiller impressed in NSW Cup, scoring 16 tries from 13 games for the Knights. The Tigers could be having a bit of a Knights reunion with Jayden Brailey and Kurt Mann already signed and Tyson Frizell expected to join the club.

I think these types of signings could be smart for with what the club needs in terms of footy iq, toughness, depth ect if they can stay injury free
