Confirmed: Matterson released from Wests Tigers.

[earl]

Well that’s just bloody lovely isn’t it. He’s happy to play for a crap team and get the wooden spoon, but abhorred at the thought of coming to us! Why the hell are we so maligned by players all the time? We are far from the worst team in the comp.

You really take these comments seriously ?

 

[newtiger]

@Spacecub damn when was that

I think it was from a forumer who said his mate asked Arrow if he would go to Wests Tigers and Arrow replied, "I would rather go to Syria than play for Wests Tigers"

If that is true, then there is only one reply to give to Arrow.

We are relocating to Syria....

Our Daughter live in the UAE she calls it the "Sand pit" LOL

 

[pawsandclaws1]

The carry on about Arrow astounds me I guess it is an indication of how far standards have fallen in the NRL, We miss out on Arrow, no doubt a youngster will come through and fill the gap Matterson leaves. Garner came from a low level recruitment (no offense to Garner) and look how it turned out?

Because we don't stand for anything! I've asked the question before, who are we? When we were Balmain, we played at Leichhardt. When were Wests we played at Campbelltown. Wests Tigers play everywhere. We have no home, no tribalism. We are a manufactured commodity who have never planted any roots.
I think the Souths book of feuds is a massive wank, but at least it gives them something. So ill ask again.......What the ...(fill in the blank) do we actually stand for or represent?

I can tell you 100%, i have spoken to a current 1st grade player, and they feel homeless. The answer when i asked about BankWest is "it's not our home". Now thats not to say it can't be, but by not planting roots anywhere, we will never grow.

Well the 10 year lease with anz didn’t help just have to grin and bear it until that’s finally over.

Yep agree. Unfortunately grin and bear it until we have an admin that bite the bullet to make us belong to someone.

I think it's amusing at the chatter on how the COE will help. Love the idea, and we do need it, but it will be far from exclusive.

Plenty of other teams building one; Eels building one in Kellyville. Sharks behind their stadium. Manly in process of building one also.

Great post, we've turned into a bit of a nothing club.

They could have played all games there.

@gallagher need to dump campbelltown and focus on being the club of the inner west

Well, I'm firmly in the 'one home ground' camp and I don't believe Campbo should be that ground so I agree with you. We need, but lack, a strong leader.
It's starting to smell a bit like the magpies of the late 90's.

 

[NT_Tiger]

@gallagher
I don't know about the 90's smell but otherwise I agree.
As a Sydney outsider I really don't care where we play as long as it's a good place for the team to call home. But I'm beginning to believe this is one of Wests Tigers main priorities. Get one home Park and stick to it.

Easy to say but hard to have happen the almighty
$$$$ has ruined this game with inducements to play at the big stadiums I can see the day when CSS & LO will be given the go by with ANZ or Bankwest being our home

It should have been done not long after 2005. Everyone was on a high and expecting an exciting future , not too many would have whined at home grounds when we had a team capable of wining a comp.
When your not winning though and have an ordinary roster , moving grounds just feels like a kick in the guts to some. That's when you need bold, brave leadership.

 

[NT_Tiger]

@gallagher ....or just leadership.

That day passed about a decade ago, we just don't realize.

Yeah well, when I mention that I'm told i have an agenda, not a true fan.

I think the point is it will bring us in line with everyone else instead of being behind.

Sad to say it but both LO and CSS are last their use by date. We need to make a tough call.

How come Kogarah and Brookvale are not past their use by date?
