    WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

    Don't feel too sorry, he knows how to deal with boards. At this stage of his life and career, wouldn't be sticking around if he thought things weren't going to get better.

    Spending a day in prison to scare them off a life of crime

    I've worked with ex-defence men and women with mental health issue as well as kids who have been in juvenile detention. My comment is part tongue in cheek, but the truth is that very disciplined people can end up in prison too. The reasons that kids end up committing crime and in prison are...

    Plenty of ex army blokes end up in prison.

    John Bateman #268

    Early on I thought Bateman played some decent footy for us when he wasn't doing donkey work in attack and was fresh enough to hit a few gaps and create some opportunities. But at some point his role in the team seemed to change and he just wasn't big enough, strong enough or young enough to...

    Worst Signing in Wests Tigers History

    I'm with you on Mick Potter. He did well with a very average roster.

    Worst Signing in Wests Tigers History

    Jamal Idris or Chris McQueen. Both were busted up and probably should have retired rather than chase a final pay cheque but it's equally on the club for signing them in the first place. Adam Blair at least had a go and nearly got us in the top 8 in his first season.

    WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

    Shane Richardson knows his stuff. He has been around for 30+ years as a CEO with success at pretty much every club he went to. If he thought Brett Hodgson was the right guy for the job, he likely is.

    The worst season by any club, ever?

    The Magpies juniors have been the only part of the club with any success over the past few years, yet we've just seen a public tantrum from people at the top who would love nothing more than to distance themselves from what little success we've had. That says it all.

    Holiday & Travel

    I've been lucky enough to travel a lot of places around the world and always snubbed my nose at Bali. I went there earlier this year and had the best time! Got off the beaten track and found some amazing beaches, swam in waterfalls, ate lots of Indonesian food and came back with a new...

    CEO - Shane Richardson

    Richo is absolutely a hothead. Many years ago while he was at a previous club, he supposedly had a huge outburst in the coaches box during a game, declaring that certain players who were signed before he arrived were effectively "sacked". I wasn't there (but the person who told me was) and...

    Now that it's over, who are you going for in the finals

    My uncle passed away a few weeks ago and was a dogs supporter, so it would be nice to see them win the comp. I also wouldn't mind seeing Penrith win it again. It's quite remarkable how they've remained at the top while other clubs has taken their best players.

    Aaron Woods Retires

    Each to their own, but I'll never understand the hate that people have when a player leaves the club. Maybe some deeply ingrained childhood abandonment issues? The bloke was one of our juniors who came through the grades, represented Australia and racked up nearly 300 first grade games...

    SMH Article 'We’ve lost faith in them’: Balmain consider shock exit from Wests Tigers merger

    It was a breath of fresh air to hear Richo speak yesterday. A far cry from the previous CEO and Chair. Calling out some clowns, outlining how we've changed and where we're going. It was also really encouraging to hear about some good governance in the form of a skills matrix to help get the...

    Charlie Staines #262

    Staines for mine is a keeper. He's still fairly young, very quick and has a massive ticker. Playing out wide in the team running last often makes blokes look worse than they really are.

    John Hopoate in strife again

    John Hopoate clearly has a few screws loose, possibly even verging on psychopathy. No empathy, totally impulsive, can't read the room. Does the same dumb stuff over and over. A lot of this was obviously glossed over by those close to him during his playing career because the flip side was that...

    Samuela Fainu #280

    Samuela has that little bit extra that others don't. It's almost like the ball seems to bounce the right way for him or he finds himself in the right spot at the right time. It's hard to believe he's only in his second season and is only 20. Here's hoping we can hold onto him.
