[weststigers]

The club is called Wests Ashfield.
There is a Magpie on the building.
They play all KOE games at Lidcombe, none at Leichardt or Commbank. There is no regular alignment to the NRL side on game day.
They had the chance to put the Wests Tigers first with an independent board - then sacked the lot of them the first chance they got.
These are not the action of united club.
These are actions of a club looking out for their own interests - Wests Ashfield.

The fact they dont have a fulltime coach re-inforces their lack of commitment to the Wests Tigers. If the Wests Tigers are to succeed, they need successful pathways. This starts with reserve grade. How can we bring juniors through at 14 or 15 years old if the club cant even invest in a coach for the reserve grade side?

All this stuff you talk about - recruitment, retention, juniors and pathways, its all irelevant, because we have no money being put toward them. Yet its all Richos fault?

They already destroyed the Magpies. Now they'll do it to Wests Tigers

People are catastrophising. We are in a good position to move forward next year.
We have a top 8 roster. Injuries and coaching have cruelled us this year.

Benji, Richo, Luai and Api have changed the culture here.
They have attracted quality players who want to be here and we have the best roster we have ever had.
This club is set up for success.

What we lack is coaching support for Benji, high quality experience that can take control of offence and defence and let Benji be the man manager he is. He is not a coach (like Bennett). He is a manager and he needs coaches around him that know what they are doing.

Geez, I wish Richo didn't leave. He was a one-way ticket to success.

Lol, we have a bottom 4 roster. Our top 17 if fit all season might be able to finish 9th.

But as we don't even have 18 first graders at the club is uttered absurd to think we're remotely close to finals. The dragons are much, much closer to playing finals than we are
