OFFICIAL Club discussion with Shaun Mielekamp

[EllisFan]

The company line will be that it was mutually beneficial

For Parra and Luai?

For Parra and Luai?

What else are they going to say? They aren’t going to portray weakness, nor will they throw him under the bus.

I’d said I’d love to know whose decision it was, not the spin.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Well what can i say other than welcome and good onya @ShaunMielekamp I think its pretty safe to say there wouldn't be another club in the NRL that would engage via a fan forum.

I don't really have anything to add apart from whats already been bought up in the previous pages. All i will say is knowing us as in WT's i hope the media don't try and put a negative spin on this as they love to do with us. There are some strange fellow's in the media love to lay the boot into us, some are even supposed supporters work that one out.

Great question, considering our issues in the three quarter line.

Really? You think the ceo should talk about why someone is not selected?

I didn’t ask the question, I just said it was a good one for whoever might be able to answer it.

Hi Shaun
Just some observations/questions

Why wasn’t the ‘WestsTigers’ Board announced to supporters as soon as it was determined after the debacle at the end of last year.

Which Board decided it was an urgent need to extend Benji when there was no obvious reason/need (other than a good news story to distract from the earlier board debacle)

If injuries have identified our lack of depth what positions are being pursued for depth enhancement
(I presume centre/second row/ prop, now that our hooker options have improved + possibly another Fainu)

I agree with others after my recent game day experience at Campbelltown. Cringe and unprofessional are terms regularly used.

Why do the tigers coaching/admin team seem to be heavily weighted to 2005 team members. Good players don’t automatically translate into good coaches/administrators. Especially when they have no or limited previous experience.

How many players will be partly paid by wests Tigers to play for other teams, hopefully none other than Luai

Thank you for all your hard work into the future. Tigers need that and much more.

I think people need to re-read the OP and dont waste time asking questions he wont answer

He can answer or not answer what ever question he wants to, but he can also be made ‘aware’ of questions generally being asked by supporters.
Not unreasonable

 

[cochise]

Well, you do you, but don't be disrespectful to Shaun on here. You've asked, been answered, choose to reject, so, maybe this thread isn't for you.

For those not believing it is Shaun, I spoke to the club directly about it.

Hi Shaun, thanks for your time.

Question about financial contributions.

How important is it to have access to more financial support for the football club?

"The Holman Barnes Group (HBG) does not financially contribute as much out-of-pocket funding to the Wests Tigers as other club owners or leagues clubs inject into their respective teams." AI

And it seems HBG make large profits through Wests Ashfield, so how can you access more of these funds from HBG, considering they don't contribute as much as other football club 'owners'?

Thanks

So if everyone asks questions he cant answer...whats the point?

Id rather questions that can be answered

 

[Merlot]

Let's hope this initiative doesn't result into a talk fest ala K.Rudd.

Its a silly move from Shuan really, most questions will be corporate sensitive or a legal HR minefield.
Anything he can pass on here, should be passed onto members as per agreement firstly, so all he will offer up is basically secondhand news or words of understanding about the fan's frustrations.
And the numb skulls will just feel further removed. if they think they've found a way into the inner sanctum - it's not happening.
Yet again - credit to him for reaching out to the fan base via a forum

It’s a free world .. he can do what he likes … who cares who’s feelings might he hurt if he chooses not to answer … I’m pretty sure he will be aware of what he can and can’t say ..

I suppose he can just read them (or not), people might just be happy that people from the club at least know their feelings.

It’s much more refreshing than the old pre-prepared questions on Ask the Boss.
