Questions for the boss!

[innsaneink]

Why was Jacob Miller, the only halfback in the club with any NRL experience whatsoever, released to Hull after only 4 games under the new coach this year…after Mick Potter stated publicly in January he would be our #7 for 2013, he'd be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them?

My questions are being asked because I keep getting them myself and never have an answer:

What is the progress with the 2014 Jersey design competition? At last mention the designs were to be turned into prototypes, has this occurred?

Will the fans get to see each design in this form, or is it only to be seen by the club and involved parties in the final decision (sponsors, NRL etc.)?

What will happen to these prototypes once a decision is made? Will the designers have the opportunity to receive their design, or will they be placed in a box in a corner of an office never to be seen again?

What does the winning designer receive, if anything?

A few of questions:

Q) A common one, what stage are we at in re-signing our young stars (Brooks, Moses, Lovett etc)?

Q) Are you planning to improve communication from the club to the fans and supporters? I cite a couple of examples being the recent resignation of CEO Stephen Humphreys and then one of the joint venture partners from the Wests Group pulling out of the organisation, yet there is no communication officially from the club whatsoever (via the website or a media release), while speculation continues to flow around. We're told to stick to the website for the latest factual information about these things, but we can't do that if the information isn't provided.

Q) Why do we further drive division in the club by wearing 'Wests' and 'Balmain' jerseys in our NSW Cup team? Surely we're Wests Tigers and should play in Wests Tigers jerseys the same as the NRL and NYC team. We're one club, we should start acting like it.

Q) What will the club be doing in the next few months to make membership a more sought after product? We seem to have so many supporters, good solid corporate support from companies in the big smoke, but have so few members in comparison to the rest of the NRL.

Q) Are we having a Hall of Fame function this year? It always seemed to be a very popular function for the club, and was a spectacular night. It would be very disappointing to let it simply fall by the wayside.

Q: What's the selection criteria for the new CEO? Are they looking for someone with previous NRL experience? Someone with a non-NRL, but other sporting code background? Or someone completely unrelated like what the NRL did?

1 - thanks for doing this and here's to it continuing!
2 - what impacts are the Balmain financial problems having on Wests Tigers now and into the future?
3 - what impact is the ongoing apparent fighting between Wests and Balmain factions/traditionalists/clubs/whatever having on Wests Tigers?
4 - what is being done to cement our future as Wests Tigers and minimise the seemingly toxic effects of the infighting between Wests and Balmain traditionalist factions?

 

[MacDougall]

Are you (Grant Mayer) angling to take on the role of CEO?

 

[happy_tiger]

Question Is the club looking at restructuring its memberships in the future , especially in regards to out of towners and interstate members ??

Question If we were offering a contract to Benji Marshall based solely on on field performance and not his off field persona would the club seriously be even thinking of tabling an offer ??

What does Grant believe is our most important subject the club needs to concentrate on asap in regards to any subject Tigers related ??

I would expect the answers will be passed back to us here from AJ.

 

[Winnipeg]

some good questions there

hope he doesn't dodge the tough ones

 

[Flippedy]

Q. Are we ever going to buy an actual halfback or are we going to continue with makeshift halfbacks whilst waiting for Brooks to develop into a first grader? Since halfback is probably the most important position on the field I thought WT Management would have addressed this much sooner and I'm really disappointed they haven't.

Q. when are wests-tigers going to secure a prop forward who has some mongrel in him ?

 

[Bengal_Tiger]

Was talking to my Broncos mate today and he wasn't aware we had James Gavet.
He seen him last year dogs verse the broncos and said he was a gun. Another dogs mate of mine rates him, just said he's unlucky with injuries.
From what I read on this forum everyone rates him. Looking forward to seeing him play!

Anyone know his return?

Last I'd read was Round 16

 

[ball_main]

Could we please revert to a traditional V style at the front of our jersey. I'm tired of looking like clown costumes.

Look at how easily recognized the dragons roosters are. Keep it clean, sharp and a jersey that you can recognize as soon as you see it.

Can you please comment on whether there is any truth to us having multiple players that are no longer at the club still under the salary cap? Rumours abound that Fifita, Gibbs, Heighington and even Todd Payten and Wade McKinnon are still part of the salary cap. I've even heard that Gareth Ellis somehow is but that surely can't be right. Can you just tell us the truth about this?
