Going to keep on saying it. Just need to work out how it works for Wests Personally I wouldn’t like that! If we are talking personally i wouldnt either but this is about what is best for the club. Its hard to remove our favoritism and allegiances but if we became a strong and successful club most people would be won over. Not to mention the huge amount of local support you would get if the team embraced the Gosford area. We average 18 k at Homebush. Gosford holds 20k so were moving for 2k crowds? Honestly i think its about more than just crowd averages. Ive seen enough to know if we keep doing what we are doing where we are doing it we will end up in some god forsaken place like Perth. The NRL do not like us and will sharpen their knives very soon. Whats more the corporate opportunities that come with identifying with a new region would be hard to overlook. The only other option i feel is suitable is 4 games at Campbelltown and 8 at Gosford but then you risk alienating the massive Gosford market by not being all in ie the Northern Eagles The question you should be asking yourself is Gosford or Perth! As i said earlier its not about what we want. I think the corporate opportunities lie in Sydney where the major national/international companies are and where the best stadiums are. Newy and Illawarra always struggled with corporate support, its only a leagues club group that has saved Newy. So whats your plan moving forward. What do we do to keep from being relocated? Something that just about every other club in every other code in every country does. Play out of one stadium in Sydney building corporate support and fan base. We’ve never tried that. This is true. But the options are not that great. Bankwest, the players play like puss and show no heart. Leichhardt not the future. Campbelltown a massive risk to lose lose it all within 5 years. It may work but the risk is incredibly high. Only leaves a place like Homebush and playing out of state teams there instead of at our spiritual home grounds will see us relocated within 3 years. It aint a pretty picture this one you are painting.

@ElleryHanley agreed, we seriously need more muscle, size and impact up front!

Sailor won’t happen. His dad is negative about anything Tigers on the radio. Says we should relocate, says we are the worst run club. They were talking about Jason Taylor one day and he was liked by everyone in the commentary team but Wendall. They asked why don’t you like JT. His reply was " no reason" The guy hasn’t got one original thought. I don’t really care what convicted drug cheating maggot thinks about our club Sailor and John’s can snort each other’s crack. A bit lumpy.

at least they’re putting things on for the kids to enjoy themselves…

@Dyloh said in POLL: ESAN MARSTERS: @Earl https://www.zerotackle.com/rugby-league/players/highest-paid-players/ Has him in the top 20 highest paid. From that site:- contract values are based on reported figures and as such, cannot be viewed as being 100% accurate. I don’t know how much he is getting paid but that figure seems way overs. I think he was good in the centres for us this year but surely that wouldn’t put you anywhere near the top 20 players in the comp list.

Looks like the club would be pretty small under this proposal. Butter than nothing ai suppose.

@Mighty_Tiger said in 2020 Membership: @Sabre said in 2020 Membership: Don’t know why they would go with a trucker hat over a normal cap. Won’t be wearing that. Also, what is this thing? Its a powerbank I think Cool. Can charge your phone at the game whilst venting on the forum. At least they are in touch with the fans with this gift.

Drug cheat, refuses to acknowledge it despite pleading guilty to it to take a mickey mouse ban when their season was already gone. The NRL were totally spineless in regard to their approach on the Cronulla doping. A whole bunch of their players would have been unavailable for their premiership season, in addition to the cap rorting either side of that season. he was the worst!!! used to rip bandages off and and all sorts!! he has cleaned up his act to his credit compared to what he was, but now the nrl are blowing smoke up his backside and giving him tv jobs left right and centre…who makes him the go to for an opinion on anything???

Meh …don’t really care if they went out… what would is they basically gave up during the game…as a fan …that is the worst thing you can see your team do…

@Yossarian said in Billy Walters expected to sign with Wests Tigers within days: @jirskyr said in Billy Walters expected to sign with Wests Tigers within days: @PrattenParkMagpie said in Billy Walters expected to sign with Wests Tigers within days: @hsvjones the player and coach can tell the world anytime they like but the club has a 10 day cooling off period before they can announce it. Also there may be some general agreement not to announce signings of players from clubs still in the finals race, whether or not they are actually being picked. Ultimately I don’t think it matters one jot. Who cares if Billy is announced tomorrow or December 10th, what difference does it make to fans for Round 1 2020? If he’s signed, he will do pre-season training, regardless of how quickly we hear about it. I can’t understand some fans sometimes, who cares if Madge mentioned it on TV but there’s been no press release? Isn’t the word from the coach himself sufficient? You need the paperwork. It’s the same as some folks criticising the club for not announcing Robbie Rochow’s retirement early enough. Seriously who cares, why waste energy on it. Wait a minute - Robbie Rochow is retiring? (Screws up membership renewal form) hears that Jennings is getting a 2 year extension (un screws memebership form)

@The_Patriot That seems like a good way to do business

I thought I turned the sarcasm level up to 11

@gallagher said in WHAT SHOULD THE NEW CHAIRMAN DO FIRST: @fair-dinkum said in WHAT SHOULD THE NEW CHAIRMAN DO FIRST: Revoke Melbourne, Broncos and the Rorters licences. Let’s get down to 8 teams, no more. Tigers would still finish 9th

still prefer no.8 to no.9

@cqtiger said in Madge on Matty Johns now: I never again want to see another M Moses episode at this club. I’d definitely make Matterson see out his contract if he plays the ‘depression’ card. Play him in reserves or not at all but get him all the professional help he needs. Stop this nonsense once and for all. It’s all eerily similar isn’t it? Much like Milfords Canberra/Donkeys transition a few years ago as well.

Wham are 8th with a goal difference of minus 1 (A bit like the Broncos) When we beat Spurs goal difference won’t matter

Except for Matulino and Packer who faded in the second half of the tournament, happy with the progress of both forwards and backs. Hope jennings is not injured as he has been quiet. Mimoroiski has improved better than expected along with his goal kicking. He will be a rally good player as he doesn’t let his head gets into the clouds. Nofo needs to be running more direct and Ehsan to increase his work rates. Thomson, as usual tried his heart out and I like him to model after Slater. The forwards are honest and will improve in the coming year. Madge has done a wonderful job in helping the players both individually and as a team.

@Kazoo-Kid said in Pascoe?: Justin Pascoe and Marina Go are both club legends in my eyes. Yeah, Pascoe did something moronic which hurt the club, but he (and Go, along with a few other important individuals) basically crushed any relocation talks surrounding Wests Tigers. The only reason we are now brought up in any serious relocation discussions is because we have the name “Wests” (relating to Perth being in Western Australia). IMO both will be made life members of the club at some point. Club legends? Come on my guy. They are adminstration. If they are club legends then so am I and the rest of the long suffering fans. They can move on, were stuck here.
