Gag order required for Hagipantelis and Pascoe

[Cultured_Bogan]

I like Lee. There's nothing he hasn't said during the Latrell and JAC sagas that was not true and was relatively open about it.

If he follows through on Aloiai and makes him stay he will have shown more fortitude than any other CEO or board member before him.

Wests Tigers fans..I wish our Chair and CEO would just shut up

Also Wests Tigers fans..Why do the media walk all over us with their tabloid gutter trash..someone should say something..

So....... we should all agree on any one given topic?

You can't have it both ways you want the hierarchy to shut up then you want someone to say something I applaud Lee for speaking out he's a smart man and loves WT'S

Who does? Who has wanted the club to speak up an now wants them to shut up?

I really proud of Lee and the crew speaking out and speaking strongly about what the Tigers Should be.

I really appreciate that they are on our side in what is such a difficult job in turning around the perception of our club

I know it was. But its different people that are saying they should be quiet or they should speak up.
No-one is saying both.

This behaviour from player managers and some clubs will continue unless someone calls it out for what it is.

Looks like Lee and Justin just as much as expected to gain a 'favourable' outcome from Manly for Aloiai, as in, they got nothjng

Some things never change

They’d be thinking we gained cap space and got Manly/Broncos paying for Joe O’s salary, which is probably a good outcome in the long run. I agree though that it’s not good for our brand perception. I would have preferred them to not release him to truly make a stand.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I am sick and tired of these two and their love for being quoted in the media.

Pascoe, twice this year, for both Parramatta games give Nicolussi fodder to create 'rivalry' articles in SMH on Moses and Matterson, making us look as if we're talking tough prior to the game and then even more ridiculous when we lost (both games), and dont even get me started on us playing parra twice at bankwest AGAIN...

Hagipantelis, always talking big game about prospective signings and now talking tough in regards to Aloiai... (Dont get me wrong, both sides look bad in this situation). Guess what, no marquee signings and the only real result is continuing an ongoing media circus around the club

This is such a bad look for the club, I cant really think of many other clubs that provide this much cash-for-comment crap chasing media exposure, and the one i can think of was the Broncos last year, and we all know how that panned out...

I used to try and remain positive during these kind of situations, 'It'll blow over', 'I'm sure they know what they're doing' etc etc, but this neverending positioning of WT as a club unable to get a deal done, and as publicly as possible is past a joke..

We can blame the player agents etc for agitating, but the real professional clubs get the deals done behind closed doors without comment in the media, and theyre the ones that remain respectable. Our administration HAVE to start acting professionally, because it hurts as a fan only seeing this club in relation to controversy, as opposed to results.

Hah -20, yep pretty unpopular alright.

Not sure how you gag the senior partner of a large law firm that's also our major sponsor!

You don't

When they start pulling off actual player deals that truly benefit the club, and actually get us in a position to be playing finals footy, they can shoot their mouths off as much as they like.

So far just a lot of hot air

Or they could also be thinking we're losing one of our best forwards and gaining one of the Broncos worst (on a 3 year deal)

Don't worry yourself about what club officials do or do not say in public, it makes no difference.

It's basically always hot air generic nothingness when clubs speak to the media.

I know that, but in recent times has reflected very badly on us. Like I mentioned in the original post, first matterson, then latrell, the Jac and now Aloiai.. then add in a couple of 'rivalry starters' directed at eels and panthers from Pascoe.. just makes us look a little pathetic when we don't follow through

 

[Spida]

I use to be a big supporter of Justin Pascoe, after watching the COE video, seems that Lee is pulling all the strings. I like that Lee has strong leadership qualities that we have needed for so long but to me it highlights that maybe Justin is good with business, not so strong as a leader. Maybe this works better for the organisation?time will tell

It doesn't make me or you or anyone look pathetic. I don't care. If anything I think the club have handled those situations pretty well.

I like Lee speaking up. It shows he is involved.

Disagree, I’m fine with what he says, he is only saying what most of us are thinking.

Besides he puts a bucket load of money into the club, and as chairman probably entitled to say it how he sees it.
