‘It’s the truth’: compelling new WT doco

[TheDaBoss]

Ohhh i would pay good money to see a uncensored version of the same cam they used for madge but this time with bellamy

Just watched it earlier this afternoon.
Feel sorry for that kid. Missed the 1 in a lifetime gf win

You don’t need to feel sorry for Lachlan. He is my son whose loyalty and passion for the Wests Tigers is without question.

He has been to every game this year up to Round 16 until the Covid restrictions kicked in. Regardless of the result he will always stay until the very end and when the players leave the field he claps them off to show his support.

He loves this club win, lose or draw. I think we could all learn a thing or two from him.

Mate that is awesome, you must be doing something right as a parent to bring up such a dedicated, devoted and loyal young man. Congratulations mate, he gave the best one liner of the ep as well.

He really enjoyed doing it too. Yvonne Sampson and Matt the Fox cameraman were really relaxed and he had heaps of fun doing it. Nothing was scripted Yvonne just asked him some questions and he answered them. It was very genuine and authentic.

I met Yvonne during the filming as well, she really came across as a class act and seemed to have a bit of a passion for our club. I was a little disappointed to see her laughing along with the others tonight.

She was great and she definitely has a soft spot for the Tigers. She is the real deal and has stayed in touch with my wife since the filming and goes out of her way to say hello when we have seen her at games.

Her husband, Chris O’Keefe tagged along for the filming to support her and he was really engaging and friendly too.

congrats to your family and your son nice work takes me back to when I was younger and everything was about the Wests tigers
Fingers crossed we get back to semis again

Oh my god I can't believe people are so obsessed with pascoes wardrobe

Just because he's a CEO doesn't mean he should be in a suit the whole time. He was dressed fine, he just has a crap haircut lol. He's allowed to wear casual clothes when he's not at work


Its ridiculous isn't it - no pleasing the PC brigade. They will find fault in anything.

The saying goes "Don't judge a book by it's cover"

Not that you should judge anyone - but if you do, judge Pascoe on his achievements and his failures, not on what he is wearing or on his haircut.

Far as I can see his only failures were "The Farah Fiasco" and "Hiring the Traitor" - who new that would happen. Cleary sucked in 90%+ just on the Forum alone.

On the other hand, add all the achievements Pascoe has since he as been CEO and the scales say he is a big winner.

"Pascoe has to go" some say - get a life, start bagging the people NOT pulling their weight - you have plenty to choose from.

Well ok then next time I have an interview forget a shirt and tie do a Pascoe and wear a t-shirt for a doco filming.
Even if you can't play golf at least try and look like a golfer
Perception has a part to play regarding professionalism

They were interviewing him at his own house? You put a suit on in your house?

for a doco yes I would
it screams unprofessional

Mate if Pascoe wore a suit at his house, there'd be people coming on here saying "what's the deal with a suit at his own house? What a FRAUD for the cameras".

He wears a suit to work, that's OK isn't it?

mate looked poor a CEO for God sake
not having a go as he has done some good things with the club but it looked ordinary lacked professionalism you would never see other CEO's of business being interviewed in t-shirt it just looked crap

Mate you ever seen Mike Cannon-Brookes interviewed? Bloke is as casual as they come

good luck to him if he wants to look how he does when representing his business then go for it. When representing the Tigers as CEO look better than he does.
Next we can see Lee in a singlet and jeans please

I’d prefer Lee in a singlet and Jean shorts.

I’m really hoping Lee does a few recovery sessions with the boys in his budgie smugglers. Put the trench coat away for a while.

Tell me again that bit about when you met Yvonne Sampson.

The board is the club. So the board can worry about how he looks.

 

[hodgo]

im not sure what people thought the first episode would be. It is literally setting the stage introducing the characters etc. Was hardly going to give away our defensive patterns etc.

Thats awesome! Well done Macca! Your son reminded me of when I was his age and footy was the whole world. Meeting a footy player was like meeting a God. And I was following wests in the early 90s - so it wasn't too dissimilar to the quality fo team we have now.

Your son helped to remind me how special the game is and not to get too cynical- even when we might be at the wrong end of the scoreboard.

Great job to you, your partner and your son!



When I was younger I was just like him only I sitting on the hill at Lidcombe Oval cheering on Tommy, Dallas, Les and Joe Cool. With the exception of the AMCO Cup in 1977 there wasn’t much success then either but I still loved going to the games every weekend all over Sydney to support the team.

Hopefully Lachlan doesn’t have to wait quite as long as we did to experience that incredible feeling of his team winning a premiership like we did in 2005.

that was Nick at a game not in a doco showcasing our club
still looks better than a pascoe t-shirt
I do get some of you guys are pals with him so would natural defend your mate

Nick looks like he was from a boyband in the 1960's.

 

[innsaneink]

I'll tell you what, it's a killer, they show 1 hour of footage and the most talked about component is still Pascoe's hair. Of all the behind-scenes footage so far, it's the CEO's hair, which we already know all about.

Pascoe's hair needs its own thread, people have been banging on about it for a few years now.

That's ironic

 

[innsaneink]

Just to repeat, I'm not worried about Pascoe's dress, it's the way he talks and what he talks about that worries me. Maybe they edited his interview badly but he doesn't seem to be pushing standards and expectations, instead he seems a little arrogant and too casual.

You sound a little too judgmental

Ironic too

My takes were:

- Madge
really like madge! Great to see his personality. Found him pretty funny in the box.
My favourite was when Ute had a run and madge said ' go you big bugger!'

- Assistants
Priority! Looks like madge does everything. Need an upgrade asap. Eberyone is quiet, look like passengers. Old mate at the back on his phone was a worry. Doesn't look like any senior assistant that can take pressure of madge and be a link with players.

- Pascoe
I'm not stressed by looks etc. But the standards he holds sets the tone for the club. The line about being casual may if been a slip but doesn't set a good impression. Saying we do things like most clubs, not good enough. We need to be better than every club and stay better. We need a new CEO.

- leadership group. Tamou, Deouhi, Twal, Noffa , Brooksy. Missing some authority in that group.
I'd say Deouhi will be the only one still in the group in 2 years time

Spot on about Pascoe and our leaders. If people haven’t heard Trent Robinson speak, that needs to be the prototype for your leader/s. Leaves no stone unturned, those flags would be faultless on his watch.

Robbo is fantastic to listen to he
commands attention so easily... Sheens was the same for me could listen to both talk footy for hours on end

Good on him for staying true mate. My kids have supported the tigers since they were young due to me and I feel sorry for them too. A lot of pain through the years. Hopefully we can turn things around before we lose too many of the younger crowd.
We have such a marketable brand, they just need to do us right.

It just goes to show what we all know that the playing group is mentally fragile.. no amount of coaching can in-still that into individuals..

No matter how talented or skilful… Mentality comes from within.. no words can unlock it.. you can become resilient but only do it yourself.

It’s a generational thing IMO.. everyone gets a ribbon..

I’m not saying that isn’t true … Because it clearly is , but if it’s a generational thing , why is it only affecting Places like the tigers . The storm , they don’t recruit the best players all the time , like Nico Hynes is a prime example of this . He just wanted it more . Do we search for the exceptions not the rule ? If a whole generation are fragile , how do you find resilience ? Do we just recruit a little lower on the natural talent but A plus on the mental aptitude ?

This has to be What Adam Hartigan, Kimmorley , Tim Sheens and Madge would be having conversations about .
**For me , I’d look to America . Thier aptitude testing is another level . And the prima Donna egos floating around the NRL , are nothing compared to an NFL locker room . “The Patriots way” has to be something that’s looked into , as they do exactly what the storm do . Identify talented players , but ones with a real hard edge .**
How they do that , I have NO idea . But if we could tap into that knowledge stream , even just a little bit , it would go a long way to get us out this mess I reckon .

As a Patriots fan ive been talking about mentality on this forum for a number of years now.

Its an art to recruit mentality over pure talent. You still need talent but mentality is what wins championships.

We have about 5 players out of our 30 who may have it, the rest are lacking.

As Bill Belichick is quoted saying

“Talent sets the floor, character sets the ceiling” .

Every recruit should be looked at in this light.

TPJ for instance is not the right type of player. he has the talent so he has the floor. Trouble is it is widely regarded that he hasnt achieved his ceiling. he never will if he doesnt have the character.

I think that is what we are attempting to do - the young guys we are recruiting all have character and show real leadership qualities. Like most on here i hate the fact that we haven't been to finals in yonks and will probably miss this year and next but i can see where the club is heading and what they are trying to achieve. Our goal now is to keep these young guys together for a few years and keep their heads in the right space.
