Wests Tigers Lower Grade Venues

My response from the Wests Tigers. It seems like bullsh*t to me when you consider the fact that the NSWRL works with the clubs when allocating games.

Thank you for reaching out to the Wests Tigers.

We are so pleased to have you on board as a member for the 2026 season. Thank you for your support.

Unfortunately, yes this is correct. In previous years we have occasionally had a game before first grade, however this will not happen at Leichardt Oval for the 2026 season due to field preservation, and the fact that Pathways is run by NSWRL as opposed to the NRL.
We do however have a double header with the NRLW on the 16th August at Commbank Stadium for Indigenous round.

I wonder how much concern for the playing conditions following a wet week of weather is a worry for having 3 or 4 games on match day

Wouldn't the schedule be worked out months a go? Two games would do, especially the Balmain games.
