    Two wooden spoon GFs in a row

    For mine, there seems to be a really big gap between teams 12-16 and everyone else this year. Eight of our 11 remaining games are against the clearly better teams ranked 11 or higher. We're going to need to do something special, especially with the teams ranked behind us having the bye points...

    Yes, there are a lot of guilty parties. Uber is one of the worst: https://michaelwest.com.au/uber-australia-coins-it-in-pandemic-pays-pocket-fluff-in-tax-whats-the-scam/

    WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

    It's all available online. My statement may not be correct in the literal sense in that 2019 was a small loss after the club deliberately made a loss after investing heavily into operations.

    WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

    Plenty of comments in this thread seem to be made with next to no knowledge on what the responsibilities of a board are or how members of a board are selected. While not making the finals hurts for every supporter, the board have done their job of ensuring we survive as a club. Just a few...

    Wests Tigers Coaches

    No idea why anyone would want damaged good like Flanagan or Morris or a rookie like Ciraldo. Give us Brad Fittler - we need someone who can attract a bit of talent.

    The Best Of Madge

    Madge's range of facial expressions during a game will never be forgotten. Poor bloke will take years to recover.

    Michael Maguire leaves club

    Unlike some of our previous coaches, Madge had his heart in the right place. Never made pathetic excuses about taking years to rebuild. Obviously had heaps of passion and saw himself as a Tiger from day one. For mine though, it's time for a fresh start. Madge had probably lost the dressing...

    Also refreshing to see foreign policy return after what seems like an eternity of an insular, Small Australia approach.

    I'm surprised Elon does not know how to use Google: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1508273/jeffrey-epsteins-little-black-book-redacted.pdf In all fairness, this isn't a 'client list' as such. Maxwell kept a black book of contacts which is mostly just random people that they met at...

    New analysis of data published by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) shows that five of the gas industry’s most prominent companies have paid no income tax for at least the past seven years, despite a combined income from their Australian operations of $138 billion...

    Wests Tigers Centre of Excellence

    I may have had my head in the sand, but is it common knowledge that we're now looking at a second centre of excellence at Campbelltown?

    The day the club started bragging about membership numbers - after introducing a $59 per year pet membership.

    Do you think it's important to have purpose in your life?

    Good thread @upthetigers For a long time I thought my purpose in life was to chase money. Then about 15 years ago a very close family member suddenly got very sick and passed away within a week. During that week while they were in hospital, I was in denial about how sick they were and...

    I would also add that Morrison was a political campaigner with no policies. Aussies as a whole are fairly politically conservative but eventually see through that.

    My heart hurts for those poor kids, teachers and their families in Texas - as well as all the other people who have been innocent victims of gun violence in the US. I've spent a fair bit of time in the US and I think their problems run very deep and are almost embedded in their cultural DNA...

    The Roster

    On their own, most of our guys would crack a top 6 roster spot. Whether they could command the money they get with us is another question. A lot of people forget that footy is a team sport. Most of our guys would do better with more talent around them. Adam Blair was a good example, best...

    Food thread

    G'day @Magpie1969 - I don't have the Weber ones. I did have some Kogan probes which I used for low and slow cooking over coals (the missus wasn't happy when the alarm woke us at 3am to say our pork was getting too hot). For steak, just Google "finger test". It's a pretty good way to figure out...

    David Nofoaluma #164

    I can assure you it's true. He was dropped from first grade to reserves for the last year and a bit of his contract and it never made the news. He wasn't a dud either, he ended up playing nearly 100 games for the club who signed him. Edit: This was mid 2000s when there was less media coverage...

    NRL clubs regularly drop blokes over non-performance issues and you never hear about it. If clubs reported on it, it would resemble Days of Our Lives. I had a personal friend who played wing for another club and was dropped to reserves permanently after a fight with a more high profile player...
