WT have an identity crisis...

[dazza65]

It seems like it’s an easy fix. Embrace Campbelltown and don’t let our juniors leave..... good one.

The quote that stood out was they do not have the fan base or support .. this from a Roosters great . The reason there is no identity the decision makers have been derelict in there actions to bringing the supporter base together , they have done everything they could to divide and pander to various sections of the supporter base to play at multi home grounds for 20 seasons .

I agree .

But i also love joeys comment....
“ Responding to Fittler's comments, rugby league immortal Andrew Johns took aim at the club for not hanging on to their juniors after the likes of James Tedesco, Mitchell Moses and Aaron Woods all departed in recent time.
"Don't let your juniors go," Johns said.
"Moses, Tedesco, Brown, Woods, Papenhuyzen, Sironen, the list goes on."

Simple hey.

Yeah ... especially when they don’t want to stay ?

They didn't want to stay for good reasons.

 

[avocadoontoast]

In reality we haven’t really had an identity since Sheens was here.

Hey but Papenhuyzen was only 70kg .................

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

we have 20,000 members and have nit played finals in 9 years funny we never had this "identity crisis" when we one comp and made semis. If we make semis etc we probably grow the fan base a fair bit more.
Fitler and Johns are dopes, it is an agenda to keep us down as we cater to inner city and west dont be divided by these half wits

 

[Telltails]

I know what our identity is and I'm bit over people telling me otherwise. Fittler and Johns have an agenda and we should not be giving them any platform to air their crap.

 

[Geo]

"They just don't have the fanbase and the support.

Freddy is talking out of his backside..Wests Tigers rank highly in terms of a fanbase..

What they need to do is WIN football games...it is that simple..

Can anyone argue that what Johns' said is incorrect? No need to circle the wagons, we need to learn from post mistakes. And no one mention Tedesco was the priority because Papenhuyzen was only 70kgs! That infuriates me.

 

[gallagher]

I think we've lost our identity playing her there and everywhere. I often wonder if that's how opposition players see our club and if it turns them off joining.

 

[Furious1]

I disagree about the fan base and no support. Given I have asked on here in the past what do we actually stand for, I have to agree with the identity bit.

Mismanagement is not the same as not having an identity. Those two have been vocal about reducing the amount of Sydney clubs and we know who they are aligned to and certainly not us.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

players dont give a damn where we play, players may be concerned with where we train and we are addressing that with a COE.
Tedesco wanted to leave, Paps left
Woods did the dodgy as club captain and tried to take teddy and moses away
Moses was kicked out so to speak not offered a contract.
Roosters dont even have juniors
All this nonsense as Geo said win games and the probken goes away.
Win games and we can play at Bowral showground who care just win games
When we win the comp people will know who we are its ridiculous and a hidden agenda probably that they the nrl want us in W.A.

It's partially correct but we tried really hard to keep a lot of those juniors. Maybe he should take aim at other clubs paying under the table payments as well as players having no loyalty at all.

As others state if we win games none of this nonsense is written.

 

[gallagher]

I disagree about the fan base and no support. Given I have asked on here in the past what do we actually stand for, I have to agree with the identity bit.

With our fan base and the backing of a very rich league's club we should be a powerhouse.

 

[Curaeus]

Fittler and Johns are living proof you can be very good at something and not real bright at the same time.

 

[Aesopian]

Meh, just another opinion piece. Articles like this wouldn't exist if we won more than we lost

As well as having the county's richest man backing us for some time yet we still suck.

Cambo had been a nightmare since Wests moved in 87...one big failure
