Im not bothered about Thompson on that money but i just cant see any future and that is so worrying. The young kids look good but they cant do it on their own..Questions have to be asked of Madge now but nothing will change as we all know. Pascoe will just say we have a centre of Excellence next year and the club is going well financially. Unfortunately all we care about are on field results and Pascoe doesnt care about that.
Good old Ennis - always good for a baggin' (he did it on the field like a grub, and is doing it off the field).
What is the solution Ennis?
What do the Tigers do to attract players Ennis?
Oh! they don't want to go to the Tigers, the tigers aren't interested in being a retirement home (like they have been), the Tigers just aren't interested in buying losers or the Tigers aren't interested in paying massive overs (like they have previously).
Well, well, what is your answer dopey? Big on putting the boot in but like most of your comments on fox, you don't back it up with answers.
As a commentator or analyst - you would make a great bricklayer.
I suggest you leave us to work out our problems and try and help the "Dogs" work out how to stay under the cap.
Agree mate.
Easy for these flogs to bag us but no solutions.
I'm sure they have seen or been in similar situations in their careers
Well all the ex footballers turn commentators are usually blokes who had successful careers, you don’t see many Nofoalumas or Brooks type players end up calling the game, what would they bring to the table besides a wealth of knowledge about losing.
And I agree they don’t really offer solutions but can you?
I can’t.
Until we start winning games and blood some more quality juniors who can actually play as a unit we are not going to attract the personal we need.
If it was a job and you had the chance of joining a successful business in a Coastal town like Newcastle or Cronulla or Bondi, Or a place out west that struggles year after year what would you choose?
Penrith are a great example of what we need to emulate to be where we all wish our club could be.
Stack the team with juniors that have played together for a few years and know each other, create an atmosphere they don’t want to leave, give them time to because it won’t happen overnight.
This ideal that buying a crop of big names and becoming dominant is not an option for us so stop thinking it is.
Juniors are the only way this club will ever get out of the cellar.
This is what we need to keep together...

Ben is a very articulate young man. Very strategic in his thinking and thankful for the opportunities in the Wests Tigers system.
All these Jersey Flegg boys and HM & SG Ball players and the Juniors to come are being destroyed by this bloody Flu!
This is the real human tragedy folks - our kids are being denied their natural growth as humans by a dodgy bug no more dangerous than the Flu or Common Cold.
It can't continue like this.
I bloody hope it doesn't continue like this.
Just hearing those youngsters talk and say the things
they were saying , is like a breath of fresh air.
The fact that they're so tight with coaching staff and all involved in the lower grades and hold them in such high regard is just brilliant.
Im hoping the lot of them are kept in our system and grow together and come through , because it will go a long way to getting us out of this rut in years to come.
