Peter V'Landys please put a Pause on the Wests Tigers Playing Licence

Well-known member
Three rounds to go and I would love to see V'Landys call an urgent meeting with the current Wests Tigers power brokers. Seriously Wests Tigers supporters should no longer have to be subject to this Concord Circus. Stevie Wonder has more vision than what is perpetrated out of WT.
Questions to be asked by PV:
1. Why should Wests Tigers keep their Licence to play in the NRL beyond 2023 (unfortunately I am sure their is a legal contract that binds WT to the NRL)
2. If the answer is Yes then why should they not be relocated interstate?
3. If not relocated then STRONGLY suggest that to survive as a licenced NRL playing club in Sydney they need to permanently relocate to Campbelltown.
4. Strongly and I mean STRONGLY advise the power brokers that unless they introduce a system that allows their fans to have a say in major football decisions e.g. Board Members, Home Ground location, etc. then their long term future is at risk of playing in the NRL
The above is just a sample of what needs to be discussed, and Peter
V'Landys along with the NRL are the only body that can possibly rescue Wests Tigers supporters from losing their sanity.

PS: Maybe the BLUE WIGGLE can reconsider buying the club?

You're suggesting the club is disbanded/relocated? Are you a fan or a fox sports mouthpiece? Get real.

The hierarchy at the club stinks, but this is one of the stupidest things I've read.

Wolf surely if you support the WT (and I guess you are a site member) that the news coming out today from the SMH and other media outlets once again raises your concerns in the people running the JV? Go back and take a deep breath and re-read what I said. Maybe not yourself but other WT fans are actually asking these questions and whilst relocation is not my preference I believe the NRL seriously need to look into what is going on with one of their stakeholders called the WESTS Tigers?
PS: If the Dolphins beat them this weekend there will be a squillion more posts like mine next week calling for an NRL Inquisition.

Odessa nice to get feedback that at least some Wests Tigers supporters are Happy little Vegemites whilst the Concord debacle continues to play-out in the Media. What are you're thoughts on our Premiership Winning Coach pulling up stumps or maybe being tapped on the shoulder? Wouldn't you like a say as a supporter or more importantly as a Member to VOTE on important club decisions?
 
No, no and a big f no. I can think of a lot of other options other than screwing this club over. I'd like for instance the Tigers to have sponsors who pay the salaries of the top 5 players in the game to come to the Tigers.

I also think the board have made the right decision on a couple of occasions this year. Getting Fulton in and kicking out Sheens sounds like the right thing to do.

What about Canterbury and Parra as well. Perennial underperformed in the grand scheme of things not just WT. What about Roosters will alnist no juniors, that have to pick other clubs juniors to develop into NRL. Sydney located clubs have many issues not just WT.

I can appreciate your sentiment but NRL has basically no say in anything that you have mentioned, so long as they are financially solvent.

#1 NRL cannot set a precedent of revoking or manipulating licensees who are meeting their financial and play obligations (i.e. they field a team every week, at the prescribed time and location). Last time NRL attempted to railroad a team they were defeated in court (Souths 2002).

#2 NRL also cannot and will not force a club to move interstate. Maybe you are too young, but you only have to go back to the Super League war to see how those things don't advance the game, they damage it.

#3 NRL does not have the right to demand where clubs play home football or set up home operations, so long as those operations do not directly impact another licensee.

#4 NRL has no say in the internal governance of the club and whether or not fans have input. Most clubs do not operate with fan / member voting.

So I get what you are saying, but NRL has no mechanism to do what you ask. Also, if they were going to do this type of thing with clubs that "don't win enough football" or cause trouble, they would already have done it with Melbourne or Manly or Parra or any other of the salary cap cheats of the past 20 years, or Parra or Knights or any other of the cellar-dwellers of the past 20 years.
 
We have lost a number of games this year due to ref decisions. Let's see how the team goes if they get an even roll of the dice from refs before going Fox on them.

I didn't see Knights fans asking to demote the club after the Tinkler debacle. Tigers had their own debacle - the Cleary Disaster, where he front-loaded our salary cap with poor signings and then "jumped off the bus" to find glory at Penrith. Cleary's vandalising of the club, plus poor coaching and selections by Maguire etc, have won the WTs two spoons and a couple of near misses.

How does any of the above actually improve the club? Relocating interstate, presumably to Perth, will only make it harder to attract talent. Permanent relocation to Cambelltown? How does shifting 40kms south west make the team any better. I don't see any problem splitting home games between Leichhardt and Campbelltown. Give the fans a say in major decisions? Was it Jack Gibson that said once you start listening to the fans you quickly become one of them...
