What your basis for this?

The forum needs an uplifting piece of news

 

[Tom Shines]

The only news we have been hearing lately has been bad….

to be fair he said “no news is good news “

there is always news concerning the WT

 

[Buttface]

are we there yet

I’ll turn this bus around!

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I think we've got May. That should brighten a few of them up.

May in Tumeth cut loose will do me.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

got him by the Tigerballs

You're on fire today Shinesy lol

 

[tigerballs]

apparently May was impressed with the strong leadership from the owners of the Club

Richo and Luai are very inspirational.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Every thing is inspirational around Xmas time

Opinion or from a source?

I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I did like how Brandon Smith stuck up for Tigers stance on the 5 players returning not in the best shape. I would love Brandon at the club.. a real competitor on the field with some mongrel. Wonder if his support was a signal that he would be interested coming to the Tigers if asked? Or maybe just wishful thinking on my part

He probably only stuck up for them cause he may have a similar problem. But I do like him as a player.

He has a few mates here don't worry, "Richo needs to tell us what's going on", "the club is doing nothing while other clubs are signing all the good players", "We are going to come last again", Richo needs to get his finger out", Richo is nothing without Rusty's money", "Richo needs to be sacked", "Why can't we sign a good coach", "Benji is useless"
Fair dinkum I could go on and on, there are so many depressed souls on this forum, it's valium central, I am not sure how these people get the strength to get out of bed each morning.

Would hate to see them if their girlfriend doesn't respond to their text message in 5 seconds

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

It must be a source. Inside information. He wouldn't pronounicate without thinking first. Tiger Balls that is He wrote in. In Black, White and Gold We should be happy.

I’ll take May as long as he cuts his rats tail off…we all know what’s on the end of each one of those.

 

[weststigers]

apparently May was impressed with the strong leadership from the owners of the Club

Or impressed by the fans?

 

[Tom Shines]

Or impressed by the fans?

or Julie and The Wig?

who knows … let’s see if he actually signs here first

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

There is no signing second

 

[upthetigers]

Richo backs Benji that's all that needs to be said.

Judge him in 6 months time.

In the Brent Read column today under the JAC story ... Galvin breaking his own fitness records!

The Wests Tigers are never far from the headlines and the theme has continued in the pre-season as chief executive Shane Richardson and coach Benji Marshall begin the latest restoration project at the embattled club.

They have laid down an early marker by dishing out official warnings to a handful of players who failed to return for pre-season training in the right condition.

The players can’t say they weren’t warned.

When they sat down for their exit interviews at the end of last season, they were told in no uncertain terms that they were expected to return for pre-season training in the right condition.

Some of them took heed. A handful of young players continued to train throughout the off-season. Lachlan Galvin has apparently broken many of the records he set last year.

Others have followed suit. The vast majority have done what was asked of them. Some have let themselves and the club down and have been sanctioned as a result.

The club, led by Richardson, has talked tough in the off-season and those words would have looked hollow had they allowed a handful of players to let their standards slip.

Truth be told, the Tigers’ standards have been slipping for too long.

They haven’t played finals football for a decade. They have won three consecutive wooden spoons and their fans have begun to lose hope.

Marshall’s first season in charge was another abject disappointment and he will start 2025 under immense pressure to turn things around. His job may be at stake if he can’t.

Richardson has backed him to the hilt.

It’s now up to the players to do their part.

Sign Galvin if he’s spotted near a pen.

My favourite is when people tag “insiders” asking if there is any news. Pretty sure posters who claim to have sources don’t sit around just waiting to be asked for info. If they have something to say, they don’t need to be prompted.

Richo backs Benji that's all that needs to be said.

Any refund with the judgement? Bought the latest jersey.
