Specifically I am aware he put a few hundred thousand into a new kitchen or something like that, when JT came on board? I haven't done my research but I remember it.
He signed on as primary sponsor for a few years when we couldn't get a primary sponsor.
He acknowledged in the newspaper perhaps two years ago that he's involved in TPAs, something along the lines of "I still love the club and trust them, I don't sponsor them because I don't need the coverage, so they tell me into which good young footballers I should put my money, and that is where I put my money".
In the bad old Balmain days he was the financial life-blood, he was the primary sponsor for many years and used to give players bonuses for wins, when there wasn't much money around.
That is just the stuff I know off the top of my head, there would be more, then there would also be the stuff that has never been made public.

Thanks for the info, Jirskyr. His TPA's can't be too much cause we never seem to have much to offer compared to other clubs, but I'm sure the kitchen has been useful :neutral_face:
Obviously Harry was more prominent in the Balmain days - that's understandable. I wonder which young blokes the club has asked him to put money into in recent years?

Reading between the lines, also Tiger Torch last year posted a lot of potentially legit insider info, Uncle Harry was topping up "The Big 4" to the tune of a few hundred large each.
Harry T has more money than most of the rugby league backers combined, but from the picture that has been painted he's also fairly frugal and money-conscious for a billionaire. Kerry Packer might have dropped hundreds of millions in gambling, but not Harry. So I got the impression Harry was in for some, but not for an avalanche.
When you stack that up against the Roosters, for example, there's always been the suggestion they have a squadron of heavily committed high rollers, not Harry T high, but more financially invested. Broncos have the Thoroughbreds, that much is public, they roll the Broncos over as well and have limited geographical competition.
Harry T could personally bankroll the entire NRL broadcast rights for the next 30 years. So clearly there is a limit to his involvement with Tigers.

Not to sure what the part I bolded even means. Whenever the chance comes up to take a crack at the club, you will. If you don't like how I defined that, define it yourself.

I don't know why sojust don't ignore him. .
Hopefully if the club improve their management ,as it seems that they are heading that way. There will be less things that the media can have a shot at us.
We've given them an easy target over the years, with some stupid appointments and signings, and we've deserved a lot of the attention that we've had.
We won't suddenly lose the target of being a basket case , until we show an all round improvement. Its going to take time. In the mean time who really cares what Anasta says.

Huh ??
Can't work that one out.
I was talking about ignoring Anasta. Not sure what you are referring to in your post.
The only thing that I can think is that you don't think that we should not ignore Braith.
Maybe I should have have less Southo's and Coke.
On the other hand , it could be that I should increase the Southo's,
Then il read it again, maybe :smiley:

Oh he did kick that one field goal for us against the Raiders. That's the one time I recall him being the hero.
Most of the rest of the time I was super disappointed how far his abilities had fallen, and that he was taking us for a ride based on former glories when he knew his body was no longer up to it.

I can remember Anasta having pinpoint accuracy with his bomb placement when playing against us & then never ever reproducing that when he pulled on our colours… nothing player, traitor to the bunnies & Georgie Piggins, oxygen thief, etc etc

It is a wonder that Braith has not come to this Forum incognito defending himself.
