Inside look into Tigers Management/Negotiations

[happy_tiger]

I think he talks a bit in hindsight about stuff. Feel like Teddy, Moses and Woods were gone no matter what. It was obvious they didn't want to be at the club ant more.

100%. From the mouth of Teddy's uncle, Teddy was trying to leave to Roosters before his 1st grade debut. He was never staying.

Was it his uncle?
I thought that particular source was his best mate’s, sister’s, boyfriend’s mechanic?

Well that's news to me .....

You don’t have to agree with him, he’s not our next CEO so everyone needs to chill out

No offence dude but you are the OP and your title is "Inside Look Into Tigers Management". I think that kicked off some trouble **because there wasn't anything "insider" at all about** it within 20 minutes; but he explicitly says he's not an insider and his stories are 3+ years old.

Everyone agrees we need to do better as a club, but getting your opinion on a podcast doesn't make it a more valid opinion, right?

I think yiur the only one complaining about that

The anxiety tension & finger pointing in this thread is pretty ridiculous

I think WT are on the right track towards advancement. Slowly divest ourselves of on field responsibilities and focus on promoting our success in reality TV. Great for marketing and sales, and by now fans have given up on any hope of on field success anyway. Looking forward to Wests Tigers 2. Logies here we come.

Not gonna win jack. Pascoe has a head for radio.

Pascoe has a head ready for the chopping block.

Animal mother is clearly female.
Hence the mother in the name.

Yeah because people never lie about their identity online. I don’t believe for second they are a woman. Definitely been here before too.

in conclusion, our head office lacks killer instinct. Pascoe by nature is very relaxed and it sometimes comes to his own detriment. the further away he and Lee stay from the football department and worry about the day-to-day running of the club the better it will be. I've got no issues with JP as an administrator, but he should relinquish his duties on the football committee.

Im sure Im part of what you mean about the anxiety & finger pointing, but in effect, @jirskyr has just made my point, but a lot more succinctly and less personally. This is was my problem with it. It is billed as a business insider expose on the club and its not. Its some blokes opinion which is the same as anyone else here. He isnt an insider.

Didn’t he say the club asked him for some cash for Teddy? That’s pretty close to the club I’d say.

He was directly involved with getting teddy to stay after Canberra. That's inside enough to hear some thoughts.

People want to help the club and I don't think that should ever be discouraged as a "wannabe"

I'll tell you some of my info. I've met JP twice. First I went for a sitdown with him and offered my help for free as a IT consultant. Never got that callback. That's cool, maybe they didn't need help in that area.

But then I contacted a 2nd time, as I wanted to contain a 6 figure donation in my will.

Pascoe was super nice, showed me a video of the COE, and chatted about the players, but again, it slipped through and I never got a call back when just asking for entity details for the will.

Again, that didn't even need to be JP calling back. I told him explicitly if there is someone administratively that can help me get the details, hand it to them.

That opened my eyes. Not only from a fan perspective, but god... it wasn't a small amount of money. Would kit out the entire gym many times over.

I agree with the summation and am glad it was said publically so we can improve. We have no killer instinct and followthrough.

He said the Club asked him for some cash for Teddy....after he went to the club and said he could get some cash for Teddy. Also note that base don my understanding of what he said, he didnt give the club any cash.

He was on here recently asking for Lees email. Not real close.

I'll tell you a story which might give some perspective.

A family member of mine saw an old footy player at the bar and started talking to him...he's just like that.

They had a few beers, he told him that he ran a business, life story etc. and the footy player even gave him his number!

They hung out a few times after that and here's my family member thinking this guy is a great bloke and they are now good mates and then whack!...the guy hits him up for sponsorship/speaking engagements. Basically, because my family member had a business, he was a prime target. Of course after he said he wasn't interested, the offers to hang out stopped.

It's just one story and one experience, but I'll bet it's not that hard to get a coffee with Justin if he thinks you've got some coin to give.

Because sponsorship $$ are tight, I'm betting you can buy a say in almost any club in the NRL these days....cough cough...Lee...cough

The realities of modern sport. I’ve had a few conversations with NRL players and it’s not long before money becomes the topic being talked about. Probably why Belly ache chucks his young fellas on construction sites.

No I don't think I'm the only one complaining about it. Or more correctly I didn't complain, I asked if anyone could tell me whether it gets "more insider-y" than the first 20 mins. I don't know who this Adrian guy is.

Vinnie said "hey chill out guys", but IMO the reason for lack of chill in this thread is the angle that Adrian is some kind of insider or has closer access to the club, and therefore what he says is a more valid opinion than the average punter.

 

[jirskyr]

He was directly involved with getting teddy to stay after Canberra. That’s inside enough to hear some thoughts.

If I'm not mistaken, that happened independent of Adrian? I heard that part - Adrian spoke originally to Grant Meyer about sponsoring players, nothing came of it, then when he was told Tedesco was reneging on Canberra, they hit him up for money. It wasn't even Justin Pascoe at the time, it was June 2014.

So with due respect to Adrian, if that's his point of access to Tigers, the club is COMPLETELY overhauled in the past 7 years - June 2014 is when Potter was coach, before the NRL got involved in propping up Balmain and installing independent board members, before Wests took over.

I was trying to gauge where Adrian fit in.

As I said before - personally I have no issue with it otherwise, he's welcome to his comments. I appreciate his passion. I didn't call him a wannabe. I don't even know the bloke.

there have been many reports including from Teddy himself that Farah was responsible for getting Teddy to change his mind about Canberra.

The answer to your question is; the first 20mins sets the scene and provides the background for how / where Trippa was involved with the club. As some mentioned he was at the forefront of rallying up some funds to keep Teddy. This is all post Pascoe and Lee / Hartigan. What follows is where I got the impression is that since the change of management this fella is less involved in the club and begins to provide opinions of the current state or management in comparison to how he views management in general whilst also stating that he has no actual insight to how the club operates.
So I believe he has gone from a private third party sponsor or potential private third party sponsor (whether you believe he did or did not kick in the funds to keep Teddy, that part was never confirmed) back in the Mayer / Potter / Taylor days to a corporate subscriber I guess you could say by having a corporate box at games and meeting occasionally with the current management to chat.

 

[AJ1]

I just listened to the podcast. Everything Adrian said was consistent with his posts made over the last couple of years. It's not like he suddenly woke up and thought now is a good time to kick Pascoe and Co in the balls or he was craving some attention. He's obviously frustrated as most of us are that we have the wrong people in the key roles.
Good on him for speaking openly on the record which many posters on here wouldn't.

I was mainly referring to people firing up and insulting each other all over a podcast.

To some people this is considered an inside perspective (myself included) as he did have some dealings relating to recruitment, more than I personally have or the average punter. Hence the title of the OP and hence why I shared it.

To others this may have been common knowledge - and that's completely fine.

I never said he is more valid than anyone, was purely sharing a podcast I came across that was worth a listen. If other's don't get anything out of it then sure...nothing wrong with that.

If people get so fired up over the title of a forum post, how do they survive being a Tigers fan? We have click bait journalist titles way worse than this 3-4 times a day posted in the media hahah
