Dude we live in an era where people shoot each other because of whether they wear a red hat or a blue one. People getting mad each other on a sports forum is not shocking in the slighest lol.
There is a place for websites and it's user acquisition. Sure if nothing changed here there'd still be the die-hards having conversations using the old forum but if we really wanted to grow the userbase here and turn it into the number 1 Wests Tigers fan community we should be finding ways to...
I would agree this place is the best fan forum of any of the clubs based on what I've seen, but it's not about comparing it to those hellholes... it's about comparing it to Facebook supporter groups, Discord and r/nrl.
Everyone on the internet has been conditioned to be toxic because product owners of social media platforms recognise that toxicity = revenue and designed their platforms to reward and encourage it.
Don't blame us peasants, blame Zuck and his mates. The only way you're going to ensure this place...
There's no returning a website based forum to it's former glory when the technology has been superceded by superior tech. That's like trying to get a Datsun 180B to win Bathurst. The best you can hope for is making it a nice place for us boomers who want to avoid the scary young kids on Discord...
As the founder of the signing suggestion and rumours thread I clearly carry a great deal of clout on here and as such you should all take everything I say very seriously.
My opinion is Kul is right. This forum, while somewhat less toxic than other fan forums, had an issue with inflexibility...
Totally okay with this. He's got a lot of football in front of him. Very unlikely to regress and his best is already well and truly first grade quality. And it's rewarding honest good performers in our squad. Easy decision.
Jeez I dunno. 2022 might actually be ok if we nab him. Utoikamanu looks like he's gonna explode. If get Hodgson to go with already having Hastings and Peachey, getting Papali'i could get us over the hump realistically.
Signing a 23 year old that's the current Dally M Second Rower of the Year. People across the web are acting like we're paying him overs but even at 700k if he's the best second rower in the NRL that is unders when you look at what David Fifita et al are on. And he's young. It'd be a fantastic...
I doubt Cini gets a top 30 offer from the Sharks but he's definitely one of the better NSW cup players running around. Really just struggled with the step up, but clearly a standout at that level and was arguably the best fullback in the NSW cup tbh.
MacDougall's Quarterback Face Report... future rep players here are
Daine Laurie, Jock Madden, Stefano Utoikamanu, Alex Seyfarth, Henry O'Kane, Trey Peni, Tyrone Roberts, Ben Stevanovic, Billy Stapleton, Austin Dias.
Bin the rest.
Wow Lambkin to NSW cup is quite a development. I wonder if he's still the Westfield Sports High coach also? I believe he was still engaged in that role while he was our Flegg coach. Think he's been the coach there for 20 years if his LinkedIn is accurate so getting a step up to coaching seniors...
Real question. If Wayne Bennett came to Concord and managed to bring with him his usual level of competence and signed everyone he wanted to play with Brooks. Do you think Brooks could win a comp? Or do you think even for Bennett to do his thing here he'd need to move Brooks on?
Just more of a...
