Some fans so quick to stick the boot into the club again. If you don't like it, don't watch it, stop complaining.

Yes it's pretty amateur, it's probably two dudes using a company laptop and some mikes they bought on ebay, but who cares. Have a laugh if you find it amusing, don't get upset.

Consider it an insight into the shoestring budget this club might be operating under.

Are other clubs doing live Q&As? They didn't have to do it live, they could have edited it, played safe, posted it up next week. In fact they didn't have to do it at all.

I've read a lot of folks past few weeks demanding the club comment on the off-field stuff happening right now and plans for 2020, so they make this effort, and same or other fans say - pointless.

Good point. Have a laugh, but why get upset? Lighten up

As for what was discussed. Sounds like a fizzer.

I don't reckon a fizzer, not really any different than Cleary and Pascoe, except less buffoonery.

They updated the CoE and gave much firmer dates - Tigers moving out of Concord now, demolish Q1 2020, expect to be back in for 2022 season. Artist's impression put up on screen, Pascoe confirmed $60M facility with $20M dedicated to Tigers. Pascoe said the original ideas started before his time and has taken up a lot of his 4 years at Tigers, will continue to do so, as even moving to demountables is a huge amount of work. "Not the demountables we remember as kids".

Tigers are at Bankwest specifically to fulfill the contract we have with Venues NSW (the NSW government) because ANZ is being vacated. We are in or have completed (wasn't clear) 6 years of 10 total.

Tigers working with all Macarthur Councils - Pascoe rattled them off v quickly, which indicated good knowledge of the groups down there. Hopes to ultimately build an Academy at Campbelltown. Said Tigers invests a lot of resources in the area. Said looking forward to unified Wests Tigers junior geographies that is unfolding.

Tigers are cap compliant at this time and aren't actually in a "mess". However cap space comes available 2021, Tigers also looking to make astute signings.

Asked whether we were looking at Frizell - Pascoe says we look at any quality players, every day of the week. There are separate "football committee" and data analysis teams that look into potential signings and roster needs.

Benji and Lawrence likely to tidy up and announce soon.

Grub pencilled in for hooker moving forward because Benji/Brooks is working.

Billy Walters and/or Brittain. Madge said definitely NOT signing a prominent hooker, as we have Grub, the new signings (Walters), didn't reference Simpkin, but did mention Liddle is still in plans. Also Mbye has hooker capacity.

Tigers just finished training today, players were happy to be there but also happy for their break.

Madge thinks 2019 was not a success, but a platform.

All stuff I'd not heard confirmed before, all worthwhile hearing for me. Puts a bit of clarity outside of the media fuzz we've had lately. Kind of like a healthy conversation with your work boss, where your concerns are given due consideration, feedback is received and you realise things aren't perhaps as bad as you've been thinking.

Wasn't able to watch it, so thanks for the summary. Reasonable amounts of info on paper, maybe with a polished stream and no audio problems everyone might have been satisfied with the content.

If you're in a professional competition and that is the best you can do, then don't do it, because that was the antithesis of professionalism.

Is that the professional NRL competition where you can’t hear journalists questions in the press conference? Face it it is a semi professional competition and we are middle of the road in it

Ok cool, in that case let's just keep striving for complete and utter mediocrity.

@gallagher mate who said anything about 4 home grounds he spoke about maybe moving the Para game away to anz most on this forum thought it was crazy to play them at bank west anyway so in your eyes he can do or say anything right

LO, CSS, Bankwest and now ANZ. That's 4 isn't it?

 

[Goanna57]

@gallagher obviously you’re so into the Pascoe agenda that your not listening it may be switched to a n z not confirmed so to me that’s 3

 

[Snake]

Thanks for the update on what was discussed, will not bother watching as nothing new was announced. This was another look into why the club is so mediocre, in this day and age they can not even get this right . THE sooner the club employs a hard nosed CEO that demands success in what ever the club does the better ... many do not care about the small things but the broken window philosophy applies here ... not matter how small GET IT RIGHT and the rest will take care of it self .... sorry these things are important and need to be done right !

Explain agenda to me.

There’s nothing wrong with criticism. I raised my eyebrows quite a few times mainly because the guys making this broadcast are supposed to be qualified IT/media employees of the club. Maybe we got the ninth best there, too.

I'll say it again, does anyone know for sure if any NRL club at all is doing live Q&As?

Criticism is fine, but the overboard nonsense about lack of professionalism. Avo on toast even says if you can't be perfect, don't bother. Hogwash. For all we know they might be paying these media boys $65K per year. I don't suppose Tigers are investing millions in top-end audiovisual gear, data streaming services, tech specialists etc.

Have a think about every single media and internet event you've ever been a part of and how many of those have issues. I've barely had a webex in my life where someone wasn't cutting out or dropping off the line.

I’ve been involved in many internet events and they were all better than this arvo. I’m glad you think it was up to scratch. Low bar.

Go on, say it again, again. Lol.

A very low bar, the club loves these guys.

We all know that the NRL is operating on a shoestring budget.

Yeah the quality of the Live Stream was rubbish and very amateurish, but still good to hear the head honchos talk about the club.

Main things i took out of the talk were Matterson's situation, the Goal kicking situation, looking to continue playing Grub at hooker, and the discussion about the Center of Excellence.

Not a bad way to spend half an hour on a Tuesday afternoon.

 

[JD Tiger]

@Abraham What did they say about goalkikcing? Still Momo? I thought he finished the year very well in that regard.
