Obviously we can’t outright ignore Campbelltown but if we aren’t winning at Campbelltown from 28 onwards, we have no chance of finals from that point onward.

Why? It's got nothing to do with Western Suburbs. The Magpies were an inner west club like the Tigers. No need to play games out there. Doesn't mean you ignore juniors.
You can blame HBG for the fact that we’re playing majority of our cup home games there. 11 home games and 9 at Lidcombe. We do have to fix our record at Campbelltown but it is still concerning that our last 15 we’ve only won 3.
Guys, yes clearly our record at Campbelltown is atrocious but since Leichhardt isn’t available for some time they will be playing there. Do I personally prefer Leichhardt, absolutely but that is beside the point at the moment. Hurling personal insults at each other is not going to change the fact that the draw is done nor will it suddenly create wins. The club has a lot to work on with regards to both grounds. Just try to remain civil in your discussions.

Yeah but they’ll claim not playing in the area is also ignoring the area. I agree it is possible to do that, but I don’t think we can outright just ignore the stadium.
See enough to know you hold a massive grudge for whatever reason. At the end of the day the club has to do more if they want to engage. The 12000 there today had no bearing on the injuries and poor mistakes we had
I’m just a bloke calling out your constant bullshit. Same shit every year from you, boring AF

I actually think wing is Toa’s spot. Hes played pretty well. He doesn’t have blinding pace but I think defensively it makes his life a lot easier. Centre is not easy. That will be Averillos role next year.
Yeah I get where you’re coming from, but Averillo is next year. Still gotta focus on this year and with Herbert out I really don’t want to put Turuva back at Centre or Maka either. To’a is probably our best bet for now but I can’t deny his defence was better on the wing.
Was it only 12000? Looked bigger than that on the TV. While I agree the 12000 didn’t have a result on the injuries or our mistakes, we won’t get even close to that number if the club can’t win there. Regardless of how you feel towards that guy on here, you can’t deny 3 from 15 is very poor mate. If we’re committing 7 or 8 games from 2029 there and still can’t win, the club will struggle having to rely on winning our LO games and away games just to even have a chance of making the 8.

12000 is exactly what’s wrong with the joint, first time in ages we’re in contention for the finals and it’s half full, never been but on tv it always looks and sounds absolutely soul less and like an away game, one year against St George I was certain we were outnumbered by dragons fans
Mate I’m devastated about our record at Campbelltown. I have three kids aged 10-5 it’s always a big outing for our family, all three generations. We really need to play better here but I don’t know what to say we all keep turning up but the Tigers don’t win? All I know is I see first hand the hard work that is happening in the community from grassroots to schoolboy rugby league and to see someone shitting on that I won’t cop. Macarthur will always be apart of the Wests Tigers, Embrace it and stop talking down to us
I’ll be honest mate I thought the crowd would’ve been better today
Hard to embrace it when it’s a struggle to win there. I’m sure there’s a lot of work being done on the junior side which I’m all for, but the club has also got to win for the negativity around Campbelltown to change. I hope for the clubs sake it does change so it improves the whole area. But fans won’t embrace an area they can’t win at, that’s just human nature.
As in higher number attendance? If so yeah it’s a bit of a downer, but I hope the next crowd gets to experience a win, I might be one of them.
Is it the chicken before the egg? Wests Magpies/Ashfield never embraced us, Wests Tigers have certainly never embraced us. We are meant to sell out the joint every week to ensure that they turn up and have a go in front of us?
The attendance should’ve been higher but the early Saturday games have always been tricky for people. The atmosphere was really flat today but I’ve been saying for years the MC at Campbelltown puts me to sleep
I do think Wests Ashfield certainly has a role in that part. Ever since Wests MacArthur sold them their ownership and Balmain going broke forcing them to sell 40% to stay afloat, I think all their mainly concerned with is keeping their games at Lidcombe, and remaining as Magpies in the cup side. I do think they need to do more on their end, but I highly doubt they will.
