[Geo]

Good listen..thanks for posting..

Good start..

 

[innsaneink]

Nothing worth repeating though?

 

[Roar_Power]

@Geo Yes he will be great for the Tigers. No nonsense and passionate. Great appointment.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Great interview thanks for posting.

I like uncle Lee

 

[Nelson]

Nothing worth repeating though?

Confirmed we are in the hunt for LM - Pascoe and Hartigan taking the lead. He has not spoken personally to LM but has spoken with his management team. Talked up how big his signing would be for the club.

 

[Geo]

Nothing worth repeating though?

Mitchell is a target he is yet to speak with him ...things are progressing through Pascoe and Hartigan..

Will Wests Tigers ever consider relocating..A flat out No..

Spoke of sponsorship of WT Blues and other NRL clubs as a way of targeting Brydens Client base..

Top 8 is the minimum pass mark for the Club in 2020..

 

[innsaneink]

I thought he was very impressive. Very direct and no rubbish at all. Exactly what we need.

Yeah I thought he was pretty direct with his answers. Didn't hide behind business-speak or anything like that.

Just need to follow through on it now.

[WT2K]

No spin. Straight answers. Thanks for the link

 

[mike]

Thanks for the info everyone. Sounds like the chairman Wests Tigers need and will be a step up and positive for the club.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Very solid answers i like the cut of his jib.

So no conflict of interest here, being the Chair and major sponsor of the club ?

What's the conflict? is he going to vote to lessen or withdraw Brydens sponsorship NO for gods sake look for the positives not the negatives

Was just a question keep your nickers on.

Silly question

It wasn't a silly question, what is the corporate structure of Brydens? If it is a board it is possible that he will now have to remove himself from any vote in relation to Wests Tigers and Rugby League in general, including votes about sponsorship.

Highly unlikely but definitely possible which could see the conflict of interests have a negative impact on Wests Tigers!

I don't know what the ownership structure is but he's the sole principal, so it seems unlikely that anyone else with an interest will go treading on him by pulling sponsorship from the Tigers...

EXACTLY!
You dont upset the boss he wouldn't have taken the
job on if there was even the slightest hint of conflict
of interest he's a smart man.

Big Sports Breakfast mentioned this morning that Brydens have extended their sponsorship for another 3 years with WT's there goes the conflict of interest BS that has previously been raised.

Not sure it is such a great deal. Apparently the sponsorship is on a no win - no fee basis

 

[Snake]

@Harvey So the aim is to bankrupt Brydens with a massive positive win rate !
