Tigers to sacrifice $100K for Leichhardt farewell

[hobbo1]

One United club😂
Well done Wests tigers

We all know you love sitting in the Hayne plane section at bankwest 😂

 

[TigerWest]

7500 could say goodbye at BW but only 3200 at LO? Not a great decision in my books

More like 6000 Slimers and 1500 Tigers fans
Great call from management imo

It's our home game. We could have sold tickets via memberships first and blocked the slimers out. But we have a strong history of wasting money and locking fans out.
A feel good story will appease the fans for another year.

C’mon champ
Bankwest is never our home game & Leichhardt is really our spiritual home ground like it or not

Let's move there then. I don't feel we have a home ground at all.

They are talking about the new stadium at Liverpool as being one of there grounds as well.
Don’t think it really matters where they play with the televised coverage these days.

This seems like a good initiative by the club.

This game should be at Campbelltown. They’ve had games moved and no crowds all year and Benji was playing with Wests when he first came down. Will also be Lawrence’s last game and he is a Campbelltown junior.

Leichhardt is easier for me but Campbelltown is the right decision

 

[happy_tiger]

Nice idea from the club to give him a proper home ground send off

“He would be ideal for a club that has some young halves,” Payten said. "[They] could do with his leadership and guidance around game management and articulating it in a way that would resonate with those guys."

Has Todd actually watched any of our games lately? game management???

Yep ..next question

Todd and Iv ...so your prepared to offer Benji a one year deal

The silence would be golden

 

[happy_tiger]

Give up 100 k for a 100 k a season player .....I wish I had that business sense

Campbelltown hasn’t had a game with crowds all year what a joke... club still favours Leichhardt over Campbelltown. Rowdy was a Campbelltown junior, Benji is from NZ so what’s the reason of having the game there?

Campbo became a COVID hotspot during since the Melbourne second wave, Tigers could not play there for many rounds. May still be the case.

Do you wonder if Tigers may have asked Benji himself where he'd prefer to play his send-off? Your opinion here is almost entirely irrelevant.

If Liverpool becomes reality it will be our only Home Ground

Gate takings don’t come into the salary cap
Toads 🙄

The annoying part is this was originally scheduled to be a Ctown game when the new draw came out. There would be just as much uproar if there was a perception that a Leichhardt game was being taken off by Ctown. The Rowdy thing is equally ridiculous. Taking his farewell game to Leichhardt would be like taking Farah’s farewell game to Ctown.


Think Rowdy would prefer Leichhardt myself.

You asked him, did you?

Mate - That is my opinion - am I not entitled to it.

I would think I am, just as all the posters who are saying he should be at CSS.

How come you didn't have a go at them????

Cause it’s magpie season Russ ?
And that’s the truth!

Got swooped by a maggie walking up darling st this morning. Close call lol

 

[Tarantino65]

Leichhardt is clearly better than having at bankwest so it’s a good move just a damn shame Campbelltown haven’t got a game all season with crowds

What .....


What crowd will you be allowed to have at Leicjhhardt 3k

Oh hang on ..all those I was at benji's last game when the club got flogged by 40 again T shirts

 

[mike]

Again we’ll done to Wests Tigers. Let’s hope it gets the nod from the NRL and we don’t have to play Benj’s last game at Parramatta Stadium.

 

[cktiger]

Seems obvious the players prefer Leichhardt.... can't blame them.

And Rowdy's.

Wonder why when they got booed off at half time last time

Do you want me to get you a T shirt ?

Size ... medium marquee?

 

[Furious1]

That’s nice, considering Ctown has only seen had a game since June. Not to mention Benji debuted there and Lawrence is a Ctown boy. But yeah, Leichhardt ?

I thought the same. **Didn't Benji also play touch for Wests Magpies?**

Yes he did. Wests Magpies in touch play at Enfield and Belfield. They're not C'town based either.
