OFFICIAL Q&A Club discussion with Shaun Mielekamp

Hi Shaun. Time to dissolve the club. Same dramas every single bloody year

I have to head offline now and sorry there are hundreds more questions for me to get through. I might never get to them all but it wont be from a lack of trying.
In regards to "what happened to the Orange jersey"?
Nothing happened we are still listed to wear it plenty more times this season. What I can say it that we will improve our communication to members on what the jersey plan is and what they will expect next season. We were not clear on the vocabulary on home/away main/alternate etc.
As we head into next year we will be clear on how many games and which games each jersey will be worn. This is one area we will improve on.

I'll try and jump back online early next week. thanks again everyone

The jersey il make easier for you , half the games in predominantly black and half the games in predominantly orange , tell HBG flogs this is the and fairest way to go , same for when the 2 stadiums are fixed up 50/50 split , gee it’s not hard ,

Hi Shaun, I’m very concerned the club may react poorly to the external noise at the moment. We were promised a period of stability and have continued supporting the club through some very dire times on that basis. Can you provide any assurances that we’re not headed for another major upheaval? I’m sure there’s plenty of us feeling like it’s going to implode again.

Like this one , also can you find out who is leaking he info on our club to the media , if a player sack him if a board member from either wests tigers or HBG sack him / Her ,

 

[426Tlgerland]

Is there any discussion within the club that the reserve grade side ( wests magpies ) be re branded as Wests Tigers or even lower grades or are we stuck with the magpies to satisfy the HBG debenture holders and all old wests supporters involved at board levels

Hey Shaun,

Thanks for coming on here. Really appreciate hearing things directly.

Can you let us know if we will continue to work with Isaac Moses and the Cove Agency in the future, considering all the damage they have done to our club?

@ShaunMielekamp
As a longtime member and fan of the club I can’t accept the AD situation he has to go Monday morning. Refusing to play is not acceptable. We have to stand for something and any other decision ultimately will end in the demise of the coach and likely the playing group. He’s our best player however, no one is above the club. We have suffered long enough fans are resilient but we will turn if you take the weak option here.

How about the players have to remove a piece of clothing every time the opposition scores .....
The playing kits would come back far cleaner

We would have a great boost in our female audience aswell

Hi Shaun

NRLW
What plans does the club have in place to compete with the likes of broncos and roosters. From the outside looks clear that they are physically training in the offseason.

Second question is liechart vs campeltown
I’m sure studies have probably been done and if so what are the differences between the grounds as general perception is the 8th wonder is better.
Eg is the crowd just more vocal compared to a more passive crowd at Campbelltown ( my experience but limited and understanding each game is different)
What is being considered to even the ledger. I know winning will help but being a long time supporter I know this may not be easy

Kudos for spending time on the forums and reguardless of whether you can answer all the questions posed I hope it engages thought.
😊

Hi Shaun,

Is defending optional at WT?
Last year we looked on the rise and now we are in free fall. Whats the plan for more depth and players who actually want to play for the jersey no just the $$$. A lot of all these players who have signed long term extensions have gone missing.

What do we actually stand for at WT? Letting player dictate to the club? Surely if you do release AD you can organise a trade? Who will want to come now

What’s the clubs view on players standing around at full time laughing with the opposition when we have lost by 50 points?
