From the SMH this morn - OPINION The Wests Tigers CEO has forgotten who rugby league is for Michael McGowan Reporter March 29, 2024 — 1.30pm Wests Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson is fond of saying he will speak to any supporter who can tell him their membership number. Well, mine is...

As a fan, I believe that Tim will beat Fundora but it'll be a much tougher fight than Thurman would have been. We're heading for a Tszyu v Crawford fight and it will break all PPV records in Australia. Crawford has had an exceptional career 40/0/31, but Tim will match him because he's...

It's early days but I thought Lobb looked like a good option in our trials. If we can add a corner kicking game to our bag of tricks, we'll be better for it.

This will be a tough fight for Tim. Having prepared for Thurman, who would have been a walkover, Fondura is a polar opposite opponent. Fondura is like the tall, awkward version of the NBA's Manute Bol. He'll be unpredictable, pull out some tricks, and due to his size and reach, he'll be trying...

The Dandy comics created a series of illustrations during the ARL v Super League war. These were our illustrations based on the merger which was announced in '99.

Dogs and Bunnies played well in patches, but the difference was Wighton today. Demetriou's job is on the line, so he'll got the Rabbits firing and they'll sneak into the eight.

You're right and Charlie probably knows it. I feel that he's going to turn up for work on Monday. If we spread Parra and give him some room, he could easily score a couple. I guess it comes down to Benji's game plan and how involved Charlie is. I personally don't see Naden as a wing, he's a...

I was critical of the Olam signing because of injury concerns. We've been burnt too many times by veterans with a good resume that have turned out to be banged-up baggage. Justin's impact last week (even with the niggling injuries) was what we've been missing. If his health and post-game...

If that's true, it only makes sense if NSWRL are paying for the coaches wages, the clubs admin and management and the infrastructure across 6+ competitions. If the club isn't getting a cut, it's a rort.

Interesting article - https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2024-wests-tigers-steve-roach-and-benny-elias-not-invited-to-games-tigers-legends-parramatta-eels-news-nrl360/news-story/abfc5ed468536bf43da826b4122a256d I'm pretty sure everyone has an opinion on Benny, but I'm...

Smart (but shady) marketing by Richo by excluding the junior membership and setting a 10k goal. It influences lapsed members into re-considering their allegiance through an emotional target. However all the other clubs do include juniors in their numbers, because juniors pay a hefty...

Wins make money, so I guess we'll see how his plans pan out. We just need to keep on winning, wherever we play.

Agreed. Campbelltown's amenities are better than Leichhardt's. But there's generally about 10-15% less fans that turn up, and for some reason our record is a bit average - 2000 – 91 Played; 37 Wins, 53 Losses, 1 Draw. However it looks like Richo is adamant on pushing in that direction. I see...

I'm glad that Benji has Jayden on the bench. He needs time on the field to gel with the boys. Ideally, when we have a game sewn up, but if needed it would be great to see if he can step up. My family all support the Red V, and they rate him highly. I think it's a confidence thing at the moment...

I hope so, but I can't see it happening for at least the next 4-6 years... unless we start winning premierships like Penrith did. Winners are always grinners.

Is TV still a thing anymore? If it is, you definitely wouldn't want to see my head on it! I could be wrong, but it sounds like our current direction is based on politics, policy, and purse. I'll go as far as to say that Minns decision was the ideal outcome for the Tigers and Shane's future plans.

State government funding for upgrading CSS will be a no, just like our LO request. We got our COE, and I cant see us getting any more funding by either state government in the forceable future. Richo sounds like he is pushing for a deal with Accor, and we'll split our games between both...

I just looked it up, and you're right. He was a decent bloke and a good PE teacher from what I remember, and he had a decent career at Souths,... not so much with the Tigs.

My 4th grade PE teacher in 1989, Michael Pobjie. When some players still had a day job.

I'm looking forward to the battle of the young guns, Galvin vs Talagi. With Moses and Cartwright out we match up well. If we show the same intensity in defence that we did last week, it's going to be close. 6 points or under. Could go either way for mine.
