Last question to Pascoe ...

Where do you think West’s Tigers will be in 10 years ...

Pascoe replied....FIIK ...I won’t he here ?

Was that a question?

No Bull !

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.

@WT2K "Don't have to release players " sounds like "we won't be signing any quality first graders".

To me it sounds more like "we will be salary cap compliant without having to release players".

So easter monday at ANZ. 4 home grounds in one city. He's a moron.

Boooooo. Do you follow Pascoe around with a spare boot, just to put it in whenever he opens his mouth or is linked to some topic?

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

As for what was discussed. Sounds like a fizzer.

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.

 

[coivtny]

Good call. This guy's hatred of Pascoe knows no bounds. Pathetic really.

 

[4jtigers]

well there you go - the players wanted to train until GF day - WEEDLER story is GGGOOOONNNNNEEEE!!! lol

Do you honestly think they would say otherwise

well - they could have just danced around the topic but they succinctly addressed it - so all good 😉

 

[Newtown]

Was there anything said about the Matulino medical release?

 

[2005magic]

I'm happy with the info. At least they have surfaced from their offices and provided some information.

Hoped for some info on comings and goings from them but not too much said, except expect some movement in the wider NRL player market over the next 3 months. SO hopefully WT will be represented in that movement too. I take it as a good sign Maguire said Reynolds had opportunity for #9 (whilst I recognise Reynolds has said himself earlier in year he'd rather leave than play at 9 regularly- we can make of that what we will- but I'd say he'd be vigorously looking for opportunities elsewhere. I liked the Billy Brittain slip of tongue- whether he comes to WT or not is up in the air but I think that may mean Liddle is given opportunity to test market elsewhere for 2021.

Anyway, i'm glad to see them surface.

It was just mixed fluff with a fair bit of buffering lol

Go to the website and have a look ?

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.

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.

I agree with the platform bit 100%

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.

Don't put words in my mouth to suit your agenda. I said professional, not perfect. I don't think that's a big ask for what is (supposedly) a professional organisation.
