Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It is an interesting move and does go against their constitution. The reality is they are under the microscope because they "own" Wests Tigers NRL club. Nobody would care about their dysfunctional shenanigans if they just ran pokie dens and a soccer team...in fact its probably applauded and encouraged. I wonder if there is a view that getting rid of the high profile NRL club might take the attention away and this move is the start of a shift in that direction.

Sorry TYGA i have to agree in one respect and dissagree in another. I agree in terms of the ammount of money being given every year is a large ammount. But totally disagree we are well funded for ourselves let alone compared to other teams. We are one of if not the poorest. This is my point, HBG have the revenue to make Wests Tigers a powerhouse, yet the funding model is one of sustainability. They give us just enough to keep us going. This is what i got from a quick google a.i skim.

Bulldogs recieve $5.2 million annually plus $1 - $1.2 as a guarantee on top if they cant find a major sponsor.

Parramatta i couldnt find annual funding though in 2024 the leagues club made a funds injection of $19.3 million dollars.

Roosters recieve $ 3 million from the leagues club annually plus $1 million to the roosters academy.

St George recieve $2 - $3 million annually.

Wests Tigers have recieved $34 million over a 25 year period avg about $1.36 million a year. Over the last 2 years HBG have given $1.6 million per year to keep the Wests Tigers sustainable. I totally get this involves the other leagues clubs as well. HBG havnt always been 90% owners, but theyve all failed us. Parramatta leagues put in $19 million in 2024 alone. Thats more than half all our owners have put in, in 25 years toward the N.R.L team.

Couldnt find anything about the Panthers though, only the leagues club makes monumental money and im assuming its just an open chequebook for them.

Compared to the other N.R.L teams running around we must be one of if not the poorest. What irks me the most is we recieve just enough to keep us going, yet there are funds to buy and support an A league team.

It is so hard to find accurate and comparative information for funding. The info found is often conflicting. For example a club developing facilities will have greater investment than one with first class facilities already built. Some sources say Roosters receive annual grants from their leagues club others suggest their own football club revenue covers their costs and the leagues club only supports if needed.
The football club revenue would be different from club to club as well. Say one clubs revenue is 10mil and another's is 5mil. The owner of the 10mil club might chuck in another million whilst the owner of the 5mil club chucks in 6mil. They would be operating from the same football budget but one owner would be getting called cheap and the other generous.
I think there are too many variables (and not enough easily accessible public information) for anyone to say with any certainty what is the case for us in comparison to others.

Also... not only are Wests Leagues Club the owners, it's their mandate (literally in their constitution) that they must foster and support local rugby league.

Tigers are well funded by HBG. I’m not a supporter of them but it’s the truth. They out in significant money to the club and it’s pathways.

That's absolute rubbish . No owner chips in less than HBG, and it's not even close.
The club can barely survive and still HBG refuse to contributing more than the absolute minimum

5 x MG 3s lol

A relative was given a new MG ZR, so not a 3.
Honestly, I couldn't fault it too much. It was Gutless, even for a 1.5l it was underpowered. The carplay would only work with Apple .. and that's all I could fault with the car. It was very good to drive and fitted 5 comfortably.

I think they are around the $24000 mark and I couldn't otherwise fault it. Personally I prefer Toyota/Honda but you buy what you can afford.

Really the MG are like the old Ford Lazer or Holden Barina. Cheap cap to get the family around.

I believe the NRL grant is 110 percent of the cap going up to 120 percent of the cap so it could possibly paid coaching staff


I just did a search and each NRL club is given 18 million grant this year


In 2026, the NRL club grant is $18 million, and the total salary cap for the top 30 players is $11.95 million, including a $11.55 million base salary cap, a $300,000 veteran and developed player allowance, and a $100,000 motor vehicle allowance.

The funding for the football department isn’t from the Nrl. The Nrl have a traveling budget so when we go to Nz for example the Nrl will pay for x amount of nights & x amount of people. In previous years we haven’t travelled early or with extra staff. Last week we went 2 days earlier than the Nrl cover plus we took our entire playing roster early. I also noticed some of our welfare staff in the sheds. HBG must of increased their grant they give to Tigers for things like that to happen. I really hope they have because sometimes those sorts of things can make such a big difference on the results. Let’s hope those positives keep coming

If they have, instead of keeping their heads low it is time to make a positive anouncement to get the fans and media off their case. Unfortunately for HBG perception is reality in the media and the fanbase.

Yes if HBG did in fact put more money in so we could travel earlier , take the squad plus other staff it is a positive and the results are there , they or even the ceo could have mentioned it ina press or even the coach k,just a snippet , saying ur board and HBG put extra upp to fund our NZ trip with great results , positive noise is good noise no matter what part of the club it is , don’t stop now make sure it’s done for nth Queensland trip and even Brisbane , money makes a big difference
