By the way, is this the most popular thread ever??

It sure moves the fastest.
Has caused the most opinionated posts.
Has cured a boring off season….. :laughing:
 
Lote Tuquri just sent me an SMS.

"Hi Its Lote - just want to let you know ive joined WT for 3 yrs. I Hope U can join the team by becoming a member. Sign up today @ Weststigers.com.au or 87413300."
 
Hi everyone

Does WT think we will get many more members just because Lote has signed?

Surely that shouldn't be a factor as to whether or not you would want to be a member …..

As long there is black, gold and white on the field, that's all I would need!!

Yep….......and you can read into it right there that this is why the deal was pushed through and the "take it or leave it / decide" ultimatum was given to him.

Because our season renewals our down by a significant number and marketing needed this sorted out. Trust me when i say people / sponsors etc were asking "what's the hell is going on?!?" and the membership numbers needed this boost. Expect to be swamped the next 7 days :smiley:
 
Well done team tigers. Glad it's speculation over and game on!
He'll never know how much he helped all us tigers tragics survive through another boring offseason.

Really? I thought we already have more members for this year than what we had last year..
 
Do we need Lote to get members? Fellas, they don't need anything to get the die hards on here….......

But they do need big signings to get people on the fence and, especially, business involved.

Look at Souths and how much promotional stuff Sam Burgess is already doing. These guys get the big $$ because they are expected to put bums on seats. That doesn't mean you lot......most of you would be there on a rainy sat for a bottom of the table clash :slight_smile:

But not everyone is like that and it's not that simple.

Spot on cnx_tigers.
And I've been seen lurking down at Birchgrove and Campbelltown when the NRL boys are not playing….
Tragic? Yes.
Would I ever want to change? Never!!
 
Sorry guys I tried my best to let you know without giving away my source (who is VERY VERY closley associated to the action)- but six months and one day since it was a done deal. Great news for the Club and great news for his family - his wife sits firmly in the drivers seat in that relationship now and has done for the best part of nine months,she was never going to let him travel like he did before in Rugby.
 
Great news on the signing, good to see the tigers going forwards, I cant wait now for the start of the season, lets hope Lote lives up to expectations.
 
Good everyone can get along again.

I don't mind arguing with Liberals and bad bosses…...........but I don't like arguing with fellow Tigers.

Roll on the season :slight_smile:

Even Charles Dic*ens must have been a closet Lote man…. he too had "Great Expectations!" :laughing:
 
I guess we all knew someone who knew someone who knew that we had lote. Im just glad it's now an official done deal!
