    Continuity - why our rebuild will work

    So what is the difference between teams that win a Rugby World Cup and ones that don’t? How does that relate to the Wests Tigers? I want to encourage you all to listen to Ben Darwin talk about some of the data science behind Rugby Union. I get union’s boring (unless you’re playing it), but in...

    Defibs/AEDs in the workplace - no brainer

    Hey Fellow WestsTigers fans, I have come across a petition that is seeking to make AED's (cheap portable defibrillators) mandatory in the Australian work places. As a tigers fan, I often worry about my heart health and hence I think I would benefit from a change like this. Have a quick look as...

    Is our forum full of supporters or fans?

    I am curious… I enjoy the wonderful variety of opinions on here and often wonder whether our forum is full of supporters of fans? An AFL mate of mine once asked me who I support? I confidently answered 'Tigers' (...it was a few years back). He then asked me how I support them. Confused I...

    WT's 2016 Salary Cap

    I have been ranting to myself that we can't possibly be over the 2016 cap of 6.8m. Yet after doing the spreadsheet it now seems more likely that we are actually pretty close (before Keith's departure and inflating some of the numbers below to allow for backended contracts). My guesses at what...

    First contact

    I don't understand why our little guys are trained to make contact up high. Little guys should be hitting mid section or below. It creates more opportunity for the prop or second rower who is then at 45 degrees to the attacker to hit them in an explosed position. This will dramatically reduce...

    Auto-renewal - I just found out mine didn't work

    I should have checked this earlier… however after phoning the club today I realised my memberships (x3) had not renewed automatically. The membership lady was lovely and I am confident that it will be resolved easily. My post is just to get any who were like me that were waiting for their...

    Members Season review

    The members season review is excellent. I feel more a part of this club as a member than I ever did as a fan. 227k face book fans … 9.7k members. Opportunity? WT TV, very interesting. Sounds like x-cast is a bigger sponsor than Meriton in terms of dollars. That's impressive. It sounds like...

    JV or Wests Tigers

    I personally don't see our team, brand or identity as a JV of two parts I just see us as Wests Tigers. That name for me doesn't mean Balmain or Wests. In fact unless the paper brings it up the joint venture or a muppet administrator mentions it I don't even think about it. Do you personally...

    Our membership could triple

    West Tigers Membership needs to be re-focused A membership of Wests Tigers is a different product to a seating package. This seems like a minor issue, though please bare with me as I get this off my chest. The two products are very different. Lets start by defining each. A membership of the...

    Positional roles: share the finer points

    I am interested in learning about some of the finer points about some key positions. My recent addiction to this forum and the subsequent consumption of thread after thread has improved my appreciation of roles. I am sure there is fantastic knowledge worth sharing. Our team is at the stage where...

    Lets get a seat on Balmain board

    Hi Fellow Forum WT fans. I have had enough of an incompetent WT board which includes people like Dawn Fraser. 30 mins ago I attended a board meeting as a director of the company I work for (big US multinational). Sitting around the table I had an idea. Warning, it may not be a good one. Lets...
