The recent publicity with the Premier, Woods and Dwayne Wade got me thinking as to how much the WT's profile and status has changed.
In the beginning the WT's were an afterthought, an amalgamated team with buggerall money, not a great playing roster or the highest profile.
Today we find the club is the premiership favourite for 2012, has one of the games strongest rosters, is one of the most popular teams and has such a profile that we are associated with some of the biggest names in world sport.
We find ourselves with terrific major sponsors providing an increasing money train, a strong management team and are now a club that a lot of littlies would love to play for in the future.
A major fly in the ointment however is our ground situation.
The SFS is great, however a long way for the suburban followers to go and see a game, Campbelltown only gets 4 games a year and Leichhardt Oval is in dire need of a major update, so this situation is still a work in progress.
So people, all in all, the Wests Tigers are in an increasingly strong position to improve on this situation and reinforce our position as one of the marquee clubs in the game !!!
