Robbie

[TigerMoz]

As of this morning Robbie's contract has not been finalised. Copious use of the terms by Mayer "we hope", "we should", "we are trying", "we anticipate" etc. that Robbie's contract will be finalised this week is the same old inaction by this useless board.
As a club we are pretty stuffed, if we lose Robbie as a team we are stuffed. Thanks Tigers Board if this happens, you've worked very hard to put us in this position and you haven't stopped yet.

They'd better get it right, otherwise support will drop off big time.

The club is bigger than any player.If a player does not want to be there ,then go, I don't care who they are .
We need pride passion and guts back in our club .

 

[MacDougall]

We had that but for whatever reason sacked the players responsible for cultivating it.

 

[MAFIA]

this board needs to be told to [This word has been automatically removed] right off fair dinkum and I don't give a rats arse if its the balmain side or wests side piss them all off and throw in an independent board the sooner that happens the better off this club gets, they have had there time they have bought the club to the lowest pt in money wise with there stupid decisions in the past 2-3 years, they wouldn't get a root in a brothel wih a fist full of fiftys these pathetic blokes the old saying in rugby league if your front of house is in order your side and club will go ahead leaps and bounds this mob we have at the moment have our house looking like a south African tin shanty….......... A BLOODY DISGRACE

Agree 100%.

Robbie is a good player and has agreed to terms, if he now wants out then see you later Robbie. While I don't want him to leave, I will not loose any sleep over him leaving.

When you have 2 separate boards whose only interest is their 50%, crap like this is bound to happen. We need one board for Gods sake. One thats independent and has no ties to either side. The only people who support the separate board theory are the fossils who still think Wests and Balmain are more relevant than Wests Tigers and see every aspect of the JV as a competition.

Well said GNR. How do you get to that independent board though, and who selects them? If the current owners do, then obviously they will pick people with their respective interests at heart and we're back where we started.

 

[Knuckles]

Yes, the clock is ticking for Mayer. He said to relax and it will be all done by the end of the week (on 2ky last Sunday). Well, today's Thursday and still nothing …......

Thats the thing, i got no idea. Only thing id say is we have a millionaire come in and do a Rusty and wipe the whole slate clean.

Whats the Blue wiggles net worth?

Id suggest Michael Clarke, but he has his hands full with another rabble atm

 

[crusader]

There is no Wests tigers club so ATM the board gets selected from the balmain and Wests clubs.
We can select a board member if we banded together. We would all have to join one of the clubs I.e Wests Ashfield , and then during the board elections we can vote for one of us in. Maybe we can band together and elect one of us and make a difference to our once great club. With our juniors so successful , we have an opportunity to build a long successful era ahead. Lets not throw that away because of old heads clashing.

That and Clarkey is a fair weather fan.

Remember after the Laffranchi scandal how he couldn't be seen with any association because it might damage his brand?

 

[tigersrule4life]

Mabe its been signed this week but we didnt announce anything because it was done few months ago when we confimerd his re signing.

 

[Snake]

I was under the impression this is a third party problem with money owing ,maybe the last CEO should be answering questions as to why ..The board can be blamed for a lot of things but isn,t the CEO responsible for these things.

High hopes there I think, although we're a basket case at the moment I reckon we'd come cheap!

He did say on Twitter this year to hang by WT as they will improve to be fair. I'd dig it up but it was rd 8 or so.
Has he matured? Or another motive?

This whole Sheens debacle would have an impact on this. Still paying him out with only a handful of games to go in the regular season. In the lawyers hands atm. I think there is alot of unknown when it comes to our financial state atleast until this is settled.

I reckon Sheens is having a jovial old time watching this place fall apart and poor old Mayer is feeling the brunt.

 

[Knuckles]

Why say something is going to be done by a certain time when you don't know for sure if its going to happen ?

I agree 95%

As a manager, I have always maintained that if someone wants to leave, it's time for them to leave. However in this instance I think some careful scrutiny is warranted.

In this hypothetical, if Robbie does want to leave, and we don't know that he does, I think the board had better do it's utmost to find out why, rectify that immediately and do everything it can to get him to want to stay. The Tigers brand is already badly tarnished for …...................fill in the blank reasons. The last thing we need is further haemorrhaging of the playing roster especially with in form, high profile senior players. If we can't get him to want to stay it is better for all that he goes.

I hope this is all hypothetical and an academic discussion.
