    Didn’t he turn down storm for two years to stay at Penrith on a 12 month contract? Surely something longer term has been promised Would be a good get but unlikely

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Most successful mergers in sport or business usually come up with a whole new concept. (Unless it's a takeover.) Honestly, if we called ourselves the wombats - pooled the resources together when the merger started and played out of a new stadium, and had one game a year honoring the history of...

    Leichhardt oval's end

    Because: We need to play at CS to appease the old Maggie’s. We need to play at LO to appease the old Balmain boys We need to play at ANZ to inject some cash flow. We need to play at Tamworth to grow the game in regional areas and appease the NRL. If we just focus on small obtainable goals...

    Leichhardt oval's end

    TV Ted Ellery said: The Wests Tigers are bankrolled by Wests Ashfield, the COE is in Concord and Balmain has a strong junior system, so I can't see the club moving out of the area anytime soon. We could shift our Leichhardt games to the SFS if Uncle Nick obliges. Though it is a public asset, the...

    WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

    I agree, but isn’t saying - well if it isn’t upgraded by next year the tigers will just move to another already upgraded facility just playing into the hands of those who don’t want to fork out the money for an upgrade?

    When you heard Beau Ryan talk the other day about Benji and the tigers, he was speaking about how “not even the Australian team could beat us at LO” I know it probably isn’t popular with a lot of people but that ground is the heart and soul of the club to the players and a lot of the fans. Beau...

    WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

    Next dumbest move already started. Play chicken with the government about funding for LO. We have said we won’t play games after next year with nil funding. State govt wont come to the party and we either look like an idiot backing down or we lose the heart of our home ground. Why do our...

    Old news... From The Mole: I guess the idea is he will be assistant when Benji is head coach. Pretty much having an expierenced head coach to still guide him. Furner will basically be head coach next year. Sheensy can now do his head of football role, whilst doing media and not have to say -...

    WESTS TIGERS CLEAN OUT

    I’ve said this before as well. I think it’s obvious they are building for 2024 not 2023. Why pay a halfback who has his contract ending next year to play somewhere else?

    I agree here, it’s why the tigers are shocking at development. In any other club he would be in U21 or possibly having a run every now and then learning to play against men in NSW cup. The average supporters wouldn’t of even heard of the guy. But here at the tigers he gets thrusted into first...

    But the point was all the salary cap rules were introduced to stop what happened in the 50 & 60 s happening again. It still happening however now it’s because teams are exploiting and bending those rules which reduces the integrity of the sport. We would of been better off keeping it open...

    Apologies to mods - I couldn’t find the round discussion thread. Was there one last round?? Anyway. I’m in Fiji and on Thursday nights they play all the highlights from the previous weeks games. Last week was really dismal, poor footy in most games because they were all so one sided. Usually...

    Not the original poster but, he told the story about 3 months ago, reminiscing about doing it when he was a teenager. https://thebrag.com/benji-marshall-once-shared-a-sex-toy-with-a-mate/amp/ It is also quite clearly stolen from the plot line of a show called blue mountain state, except In the...

    Are we going from bad to worse so maybe need to think outside box

    It’s pretty much a two tier league now, it would suck for us but a comp with two divisions of 8 teams with would make a lot of sense. Bottom 2 teams in firsts get relegated, Top two teams in 2nd division get promoted (you could even make it a playoffs / finals series between the top 4 of div...
