Does any powerbroker at WT think they deserve praise from fans.? Fair go It’s non stop misery supporting this club.

And if we weren't already aware of that - We have your posts to remind us every 6 seconds..

My point was, If you wanna play wolf - play wolf... Own it!!
Don't pretend to be sheep like and extend a "friendly invitation"
When you clearly have no taste for the man..
And you're just trying to corner him and attack him to make yourself feel bigger and better...

Then when he knocks you back, You just go back to the previous excessive vitriol.
You can take the piss out of his response all you like, It pales in comparison to the constant garble coming in the other direction.

What I'd also like to know, Is what exactly is this Tiger "Spirit' that is constantly referred to on that show? Tigers have had zero spirit - For the best part of 50 years (Outside a few flashes in the pan)
The only real spirit I've witnessed in most of that time - Is Us - The fans....
Sticking with them that long.
The team / Club for the most part has been bog ordinary...

Glad you read all my posts.

I think you’ll find he did mention in his text to Lee that he’s not a fan of the Board.

And I wouldn’t have to post so often if people would stop defending our shit administration.

50 years ? - oh so we’ve reverted to the Balmain Tigers are Wests Tigers trope again have we 🥴

Don’t forget the Tasmanian Tigers showed some spirit back in Ponting’s day and those ruthless Tamal Tigers got stuck in ... Grrr!

No that's true, I'm not totally absolving their podcast either. I don't blame Lee for not wanting to appear on the podcast, and I did say he was on the mark about calling out the hyprocrisy of leaks within the club when they clearly attempt to obtain (or get fed,) information from within the club themselves.

He does tip in a lot of money into the club, he also gets something out of that relationship by having a big badge on the front of our jersey and the associated signage/banners promoting his business. It is definitely not a one way exchange for him.

The run of the mill fan puts money into the club without any material return, so it is indeed a point to be made that making comments about fans who don't financially contribute (for whatever reason,) aren't worth consideration to a bloke who has bought advertising space (he's not doing it for the love.) This bloke is also meant to be making the club a more attractive place for fans to put their money into. Instead he's saying that the club should not be considerate of fans for not being members who might still otherwise contribute financially via merchandising sales and walk up ticket sales (the boys from the podcast may still do this.) It stinks of fan elitism.

I'd offer solutions to Lee, but I'm not a member so I'm apparently not possessive of an opinion worth hearing.

I agree with what you are saying, but also we all know Lee H doesn't actually mean that non-paying fans are of no concern or use. He just does not elaborate that with any elegance, instead fixating on Rob Bechara himself.

Lee never should have engaged, because he's just being trolled. I've never met the man so I don't know what compels him to engage with punters like that. It's no-win for him.

good people that do good things dont crave the spot light or recognition or stick their heads in the spot light and belittle the people they are leading,yes he may have got the books in a good spot,but that is no reason 2 ridicule 70/80% {pick a number} of the fan base,turn it on us saying we dont tip in enough,2 b so thin skinned shows arrogance,whollyer than thou attitude,thats if it really was L Hap responding.its modern media after all,good cop bad cop,lets kickup a storm collect the clicks,Lee should go have a beer with the punters at the local and tally the response,the silver spoon wedged in his oraffice may dislodge

I agree mostly with what you say, but of course good people crave spotlight and recognition and make mistakes. Let's not kid ourselves that we live in a truly altruistic world. Barely anyone involved in first-grade rugby league or associated media who doesn't want attention.

if Lee did his job properly most of us wouldn't know who he was

That's nonsense. I guarantee you know the previous WT chairpersons
Barry O'Farrell
Marina Go
Mike Bailey
Dave Trodden
John Chalk

The original Chair was a rotating 1-year appointment from the joint ventures.

Let us not confuse the separate issues of (a) Lee H enjoying the spotlight (which he clearly does), and (b) that the Chair should somehow be absent or unseen.

I can't believe the thought process in sending a somewhat "Polite" text message requesting him to appear, after not so delicately shit canning him, The Club, Management etc. for hours a week, year after year.. I don't know if I'm shocked or amused.

We hate you - relentlessly, We think you're shit, You don't know how to do your job...
We can't control what we say, or how we say it....
But a quick smile and an invite to come over should fix everything...
😲😲😲

It may have been 100% trolling. They may have hoped for a "Lee-plosion".

Here he comes again....

So no - Wrong again....
So my comment is in direct reference to the "Tiger Spirit" he claims to exist...
Not Wests Tigers, Balmain Tigers or the Richmond Tigers...
Just Tigers.

However, The podcast that the comment was made in reference to (It's in the title of this thread) are constantly referencing the Balmain Tigers along with Wests Tigers - I think they might be Balmain fans?

Haven't you got christmas cards to organise for Darcy Lawlers family or some such?

yes i ve heard of them all,none of the top tier clubs have a top end guy fumbling their way weekly/meakly on a constant basis in the media,top teams roll out the same same.scribes dont get passed the secratery,so ask the coach who responds,that nothing 2 do with coaching so ask the ceo,and the circle revolves.peace out
 
Good pod tonight. Further dialogue with Lee H and a commitment to constructive criticism rather than abusive insults. Seems fair to me.

Interesting that mainstream media didn’t pick up this spat 🤨

Oh I agree, but that's a different thing entirely about not knowing who he was if he was doing his job properly.

Bah Humbug Mr Batboy !

Whether directly, clumsily paraphrased, or via some sort of psychedelic dream sequence - anyone ‘others’ my mob, and it’ll invariably evoke a full blooded face slapping response.

Yes, you are correct.

The blokes on the poddy were all Balmain Tigers fans (as are all the lads on the Wests Tigers podcast).
