Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

1 - Moses is a Parra Junior
2 - Cleary pulled his Contract

He never had a chance to prove any loyalty.

If I remember right, he left Parra when he wasn't wanted there, odd some guys head back after been shown the door you would think they would dislike that club with a vengeance.

Don't like to dredge up the past but if we could have retained him and Teddy makes you wonder just how much better we could have been with them in the spine, would they have been an attraction for other players to come over to us.

Still the club would have been under control of the witch doctors holding us back.

Great post, can't disagree with anything you've said.

It poses the question; what is the Wests Tigers strategy to win the hearts of kids in South West Sydney?

We are already 25 years behind.

My nephew lives 10km from Campbelltown and he was very close to following his other uncle's footsteps and following the Broncos. The Tigers have not been to his school once and he's about to start year 5; I find that insane.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the Magpies vs. Balmain divide is still the core issue here. I don’t see HBG putting real money into the Wests Tigers brand in Campbelltown when it feels like it’s competing with their own Magpies identity. If I were Peter V’landys, I’d issue a 'use it or lose it' ultimatum: either the Tigers commit to the Macarthur region properly, or we open the gates to a club like the Bulldogs who actually want to be there. It’s a drastic move, but it might be the only way to force their hand

what is the Wests Tigers strategy to win the hearts of kids in South West Sydney?

Very complex question.

Look at Macarthur in the A League, has this team captured Campbelltown locals hearts?

I think it is a social and economic question as well.

Unless any club win in the region of a winning ratio of a top 4 team i don't think they will capture any hearts no matter what any club does.

Its a fickle area to commercialise

Campbelltown doesn't fill up like the 8 wonder and I prefer watching at the 8th

But long term it has to be Campbelltown 8 games the rest at the 8th hopefully


And if it doesn't work 50/50 there's an inch in the back of my mind saying the 8th will be better for wins which is a must for professional sports and more profitable at the 8th


Juniors say Campbelltown but if the club is well run that's less important

When West was originally at Campbelltown they did do a lot of work in the area 5 years before the meagre they slowed down and has been liked that since. This year there has been a increase but they could do so much more. Same in the A-league side as well.

Does this not come back to the owners and the amount of money they can pour into the club., deeper pockets needed.

My point is Campbelltown people wont give a stuff about tigers until top 4 team and how realistic is that?
