Board members

The board are using Potter as a scape goat. They fail to acknowledge the fact he's blooded 8 debutants this year, 3 who have made the NRL Rookie Team of the Year, while there were numerous players who had < 5 first grade games and two of them earned their first rep jerseys!

How many have to vote against potter for him to be axed.And what part does Bailey play in all this.

3 with their 1st rep jersey's no? Siro, Teddy with city/country and Woodsy. Not sure if reddy has played before. Also, didn't pettybourne and one or two others get into the Samoa/Tonga teams?

unless a rich benefactor comes along and buys up the whole thing we're left to the mercy of board members representing clubs of degenerate gamblers.
even if someone came in and did do this and we effectively eliminated current board problem is that the current wests and balmain factions could hold their current juniors support to ransom.

The only way I feel change can be made is through the NRL. ie NRL dissolve the Wests Tigers, take the licence away and set up and independent board. This would keep the brand name and would allow them to base the team in any region they desire. Ashfield, Tigers and Campbelltown Leagues can then put money in through sponsorship without having a seat on the board. The two respective football clubs can then take care of junior leagues and any lower level senior teams they wish to field. What legal stuff this brings up I'm not sure though.

Going through the respective joint venture boards is impossible.

Agreed 100%!

I think the NRL should dissolve this basket case, start a new club based in MacArthur with a set timeline where once the new club has paid back all money the NRL used to set the club up, then give the club to it's fans. MacArthur is where the future is at and the NRL really has to keep an eye on what is happening now and act accordingly.

It would be safer, easier and probably better for the game for the NRL to just punt us. Get a REAL club like the dogs to take over our juniors and then bring Perth or a Qld team in. Why would they continue to stuff around with a clueless Sydney team when they would love to reduce teams in Sydney?
