Trust the process haha. Yeah right.

If we get another qooden spoon nwxt yer i wonder if the process includes an external review of the club. I imagine it will be another internal review woth the result being one person, possibly a ball boy, who gets the sack. Everyjhing else is hunky dory.

Good segment…JP and Fulton didn’t duck the questions…trying to put biases aside, I thought Pascoe put a good account of himself forward. His responses were detailed and actually “made sense”…

He goes okay for a bloke that looks like he just got out of a dumpster bin.

Tends to leave me a bit conflicted when I regularly criticise the club for their failures and then sit through a pod cast where, as you say, there are responses that are detailed and make sense especially when you agree with much of what is being said.

If things keep heading in a positive direction I can see myself getting weak and renewing membership again next year after swearing that I would never do it again.

Interesting that Pascoe didn't dispute the freight we are paying several players to be at other clubs. Paying $150k a season for Joe O' to be at Parra astounds me.

But he, and Fulton, both said that sometimes when you are cleaning out the roster you have to do it. And it sounds like quite a common practice across all teams, at different times.
I guess you’d call it housekeeping costs.

Ex-Tiger linked with replacing Justin Pascoe​


As the Wests Tigers revamp their coaching staff and front office under the 'Benji Marshall Era', a former Tiger has been linked to making his way back to the club.

With continual pressure mounting on the club's chief executive, Justin Pascoe, he could find himself on the way out of the club due to the Tigers being set to clinch their second consecutive wooden spoon and failing to make the finals for more than a decade.

It has been reported by the Wide World of Sports that Parramatta Eels General Manager and Tigers legend Mark O'Neill could make his way back to the club to replace Pascoe.

Rumoured to have multiple chats with the Tigers already, he may return to the club in the coming months. However, the Sydney Morning Herald reports that whilst O'Neill is linked with a return to the Tigers, it will instead be for the General Manager role rather than Pascoe's position at the club.

O'Neill previously worked at the Tigers in the role of a football manager but resigned after an alleged misconduct. Since then, he worked at the Parramatta Eels as the General Manager of Football, overseeing the entire football program.

A local Balmain junior and ex-captain of the Wests Tigers during the injury to Scott Prince in the 2005 season, O'Neill was a member of the Grand Final team later that year, appearing in the starting second-row with Ben Galea.

Before retiring from playing, the forward appeared in 102 games for the Balmain Tigers (1994-1999) before the merger and a further 121 games for the Wests Tigers (2000-2005). His career as a player would also include stints with Super League clubs, the Leeds Rhinos and Hull Kingston Rovers. (SMH)

We’re certainly trying to get all the band back together !
Of course O’ Neill is mainly remembered for being on the receipt of the Danny Williams “king hit” in a game v Storm.

Isn’t the only team in the top 8 we’ve beaten Penrith? Surely we’ve played more than a total two games against a top 8 side to get a 50% winning record

50% of our wins have been against top 8 sides.
Our CEO said on ‘ask the boss’ our priority goal is to play finals footy on a regular basis.
Why isn’t our goal “to win Grand Finals”?
So what if some dh journos have a laugh and say we’re getting ahead of ourselves?
I still think the question s/b how can we win the GF in 2024?
It’s demoralising to have a goal of finishing in the top 8 and after round 12 each year give up, have robust discussions, then sack the coach.
The club needs to develop a winning attitude!
It’s mind boggling to think we are in a race with 16 other clubs and we will be celebrating if we finish 8th?? C’mon??.

We’ve beaten Penrith, NQLD, St George, Redcliffe. 1 of those sides is in the top 8. Still not 50%.

Your phrasing of “Looking at it from a glass half full perspective ..we’ve won 50% of our games against top 8 teams.” It implies that of the top 8 teams we’ve played this year, we’ve won 50% of them. Which isn’t true. We’ve played Brisbane and lost, Warriors and lost, Sharks and lost, Melbourne and lost, Raiders and lost, Knights and lost, Rabbitohs and lost, some of these teams twice. We beat Penrith once.
