Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Bellend]

I predict both Peter’s and Burgess will be coaching in the NRL next season.

Tom where do you think??

 

[Tom Shines]

If he’d arrived we wouldn’t be sweating on yet another spoon this year.

Because he can coach.

No need to get unkind about me, you’re better than that.

Mate … i try to be … but sometimes it’s too hard .., he had the choice to say here , but chose the Bulldogs instead .., why does it need to be any tougher to reconcile than that ? Who wouldn’t ?

 

[Tom Shines]

Tom where do you think??

There will be 4-5 vacancies at least … don’t be surprised if Bennett gets moved on

 

[clontarfkid]

Because he wouldn’t take the tour and show any interest in the position whilst Madge was still coaching.

Madge is sacked, he takes the tour and makes mutterances, Gus warns him about us publicly and he backs out.

We don’t have a coach and certain people anoint Tim.

Thats exactly what happened
we were the only gig available at that time.which quickly changed when Gus maneuvered his chess pieces
Frankly.Im not totally convinced on Ciraldo as a coach without Goulds puppet strings attached

Ciraldo also spoke to Ivan about the Tigers role.,,and Ivan told him to run a 100 kms away ,,, this is the pre Richo days dealing with the swamp

Imagine if just half of that 9 million dollar profit was injected into Wests Tigers.

You may not have to spend the most of all the clubs on football operations to be successful, but you won't get there if you spend one of the lowest amounts.
I feel it's kind of like the chicken and the egg. The Wests Tigers will have far more chance of being self sustaining and turning over much larger profit if they are successful in their core role i.e winning football games. To get to that point they need significant financial input to begin with. The question is, how much do HBG want to own a SUCCESSFUL NRL team? That success is going to require more than a million dollars a year to get going. Over to you HBG.

HBG certainly do want to own a successful football team… only problem is that it’s Western Suburbs Magpies and not WestsTigers.

Geez lots of people privy to stuff that you would have had to there for.

Fah RTS is on the verge of signing with R360 for a million dollars
this could mean serious things for rugby league players , papi is on their radar too , big money contracts available

Yes, it’s like there’s a gap in people’s minds.

He did everything he could to lead us on that he wanted the gig and then at the last minute, he cowered out.

This is fact because I’ve discussed it with a former club cadre member.

There was a great deal of anger levelled at him afterwards and he was considered untrustworthy.

He did the wrong thing by us. He’s not to be lionised or looked up to. I’m afraid he is another entry into the book of our club enemies.

If they are chasing NRL players… than the Aussie Rugby Union is in trouble…

Not if the board arnt happy. Or worse the useless owners who have tinkered already this year according to Adel Hage when they demanded Galvin return to first grade after Benji dropped him.

Saudi money is no joke , NRL wouldn’t be able to compete with them.
So far they’re after Ponga RTS & Papi i’d imagine there’s plenty more
