Vagabonds of the NRL. Nomads.

Someone suggested that we're playing at 7 home grounds this year because of the womens soccer. That's not true. It's our choice.
That's what the conversation was about.

Actually the WC does have a hand. We can’t play and train at LO or CSS during the period of the WC. So any home games from whatever the dates of the WC are for us have been affected by it.

How you miss my point over and over astounds me.

Like I said due to money. The club has never made enough money to play from just LO or CSS. The NRL and the Tigers made more money from playing at the bigger stadiums than LO or CSS. They reckon from next year they can use just LO and CSS have to wait and see if that happens, but it was either use the bigger stadiums or go broke. Given that they want to play in the NRL, they had to make that choice to survive.

Funny they never mention any of that when they sack the coaches. Why don’t the ever say, “we just didn’t have enough money to compete”, the short of it is we make big sacrifices and give the opposition a competitive advantage because we are poor. Nope they just flog on about hat sales and memberships!!

Why do you care so much anyway about the club using 7 venues this year? If we could just use LO and CSS I think we would, but fact is we’ve never been in a position to do so because of money. Last time we did club almost went broke.

I don’t run the board but I would fire Lee and Pascoe if I could. However, the club has struggled with money that’s why we’ve always had a lot of stadiums.

I get it. They have consistently chosen the $ over the wins. That’s why they shouldn’t be surprised when they are told to tell their story walking after a record period of failure! My point is always the same, prioritise winning and the $ will eventually take care of itself.

Still missing the point. I don't care. I was merely pointing out that it is our choice. It was suggested by someone that we had no choice this year.
That's all.

If the club doesn’t improve I really don’t understand how they can stay on board.

We 100% chose to give a home game to NZL. No other club did. Muppets!

We have a big fan base in NZ.

I personally wouldn't of done it.
It didn't do us any favours.

Hopefully the karmic debt will be re paid to us this year with many wins 🙌

Your memory is ever lasting yeah?
So - You'd remember playing HOME GAMES at the SFS last time we played finals....
You'd also remember when Humpty moved us from the SFS to ANZ
(For a better deal - And locked it in for 5 (?) more years wasn't it?)
Soo.... It was happening well before the current Administration, Why is it solely their problem...

All you do is spit piss at them, Without any relevance to what problems they've actually created - And what problems are actually engrained in the DNA of WT's....
Also no mention of the problems they've resolved....

You seem to lay sole blame of the on field performances at the feet of the Admin, If the team performs this year.... Do you then level all praise at them?

It’s not completely impossible to overcome a disadvantage as evidenced by those times you mention.

If I was in charge of a club that had failed miserably for 12 years, 8 of them under my watch, I wouldn’t want to disadvantage the team in any way, big or small.

If I did, I would not be surprised when people call for my job. your staunch defence of him is interesting.

Nah its the last blokes fault. That bloke from 8 years ago.

No where near as staunch as your criticism of his every breath…
Which is obviously personal and has little to do with the results of the football side - despite you hiding behind them to peddle your agenda…

I stack up what he’s done and not done as positives and negatives for the club, and stack them up against the likes of the guys before him and he stands above them - easily.

Like I’ve said before - you carry on like Pascoe turned up at the amazing thriving metropolis that was wests tigers and single handedly destroyed it.
Where as I’m a little more self aware in that we’ve been a laughing stock of the league since we’ll before the merger…
You might blame the current admin for that, I prefer to be a little more realistic…
Doesn’t mean I enjoy where we are, or accept it really… just deal with the reality of it.

He’s had eight bloody years. They built Rome quicker.
 
batboy said:
You ever been to Rome? They’re still building it…
And he’s also done more in that time for the fascade of the club than those in the 15-16 I’m years before him…

And - he’s only been here 7 years…

He should put his face on our flags then. What a hero.

Also a facade 😂
