Bateman is at the WESTS Tigers on a holiday to boost his superannuation balance. He would be in the grand final for our worst signing since Adam Blair.
The Bateman signing is up there with Adam Blair, Ben Matalino, Russell Packer, Chris McQueen, Josh Reynolds, Moses Mbye, Joe Leilua, etc, etc. WESTS Tigers need to avoid getting into these ridiculous positions?! Let me onto the Board.
Bugsy may have been out with the Foxx. Blind Freddy can see that we have struggled in recent years. Wests Tigers are on the way up & more success will come our way in 2025. I am sticking solid with the Wests Tigers.
Leichhardt has a certain nostalgic value, as do Pratten Park & Lidcombe Oval. But the future of the Wests Tigers has got to be based on moving all home games to a better Campbelltown stadium (the Macarthur area is the largest growing area in the southern hemisphere). All these worldwide...
Benji is giving this a red-hot go. It might take 12 to 24 months, but we need to support Benji, and eventually, WESTS TIGERS will win more than we will lose.

I genuinely hope that Jerome Luai takes the Wests Tigers to the promised land. And yes, in his short time at the Wests Tigers Ivan did sign a few over-priced duds.
From Pratten Park, Lidcombe & sadly Leichhardt Oval, the Wests Tigers need to move on. There can only be one future, sustainable home for the WESTS TIGERS and that is Campbelltown. This is where the bulk of the juniors come from. The NSW Government needs to invest in this growth area and upgrade...
And BTW, 2005 set us up for two wonderful opportunities in 2010 and 2011. Both years we were a 'shandy' away from the GF. We were robbed twice by big-time dud refereeing decisions in 2010 (semi V Roosters and again in the semi V the Dragons). In 2011 Farah cost us the semi v Auckland by running...
