The Game of NRL in general has become a disaster.
The scrum descission is ridiculous so much so the commentators are baffled.
Im.livid
I am growing to hate the game and no longer watch the other non tigers games whilst in years past would watch every game every round.
Garbage from the Refs and even worse from the bunker.
Destroying the game I once loved.
Really proud of the NEW attitude in the Clubs recruitment
Well Done Madge, Hartigan and Pascoe
The club is setting good foundations
Just goes ro show how special.this small corner of the web is here at the WTF.
We have friendship, support, common pasion and common enemies.
No one here should ever feel that alone.
We are family
Credit where it is Due
I have been a Tigers fundamentalist since I was 8. I’m a lot older now with way to many kids. Ridden the limited ups and the downs.
I am happy that the Madge, Lee, Hartigan and Pascoe team is leading the club.
Self respect during player negotiations (learning from Latrel debacle)
Dealt sternly and positively with difficult player situations
Solid recruitment to fill gaps in both culture and Skill ( HarryG, Luch, JamesT, JOffa, DL)
Pipeline Recruitment of of younger players (Stefano, the 2 sets of players in recent weeks)
Jrey to UK (good for both parties)
Ask the Boss Segment
And above all, Establishing a Culture that is unashamedly built on Hard Work and team success.
We still have a hard 2021 ahead but there seems to be a steely light at the end of this dark tunnel.
I am so proud to be a West Tigers Fan.
Most importantly we didn’t buckle and take on the dogs poor contract for DWZ.
Again, well done Tigers for NOT panic buying.
@needaname said in Wing Options:
better decision. A player yet to peak, struggling to crack it in a solid side. Much more upside for a lot less coin.
This is precisely what we got in AJ, A young player from a good system that isn’t on much coin and yet to peak.
Had a couple of bad patches yesterday in attack but quite solid in defence.
He certainly needs to improve in 2021, I haven’t given up on him yet
@strongee said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:
Liddles distribution is A plus. He’s a forwards dummy half. Ie. he puts you onto the ball to give you every chance to get over the advantage line . He learnt this off Farah , for years. IMO the forwards will be much better this year , as I think Liddle is a better 9 than grant . Grant is a better footballer , sure , but , if you are talking pure garbage runs out of our own end , it’s liddle by a mile .
Is he going to be shifty out of the 9 , and ball play. Nope probably not . He’s going to make the markers move in ways they don’t want to go , gets the pigs on a roll, dart out when it’s on , abs deliver crisp ,accurate balls when the halves scream for it .
Like everyone says , if Luke can’t win this year , with this team finally built around him , then he’s not going to win .
It’s all there for him .
Of all the players in the team, its Liddle that I’m most hoping for him to have a great year.
Too many excuses.
Line speed in defence is an Effort and Attitude thing.
We’re in a fight for the future of this club.
Are we gonna buckle to media speculation and weak player attitudes or stick with Madge, Hartigan and soon Sheens…
This is gonna take a little more time.
Im sick of the failure of the last 15+ years
@pawsandclaws1 said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:
So do you believe Matterson will come back to WTs now
No chance. His exit was bungled and sour.
Plus we as a club are on the nose.
We should have identified him as a good players and worked something out.
@tony-soprano said in Madge Maguire - Mega Thread:
Madge couldn’t adapt to his roster and failed to see how he played with souths would not work at tigers. We don’t have same Burgess
Even in 2022, we still wont have Burgess’.
We have a hard working, old school coach where poor descissions and poor attitude wont be tolerated anymore.
I’m sick of players on good money robbing us fans.
Our 15 year plus problem has been and still is culture.
Look at Melb/Roosters in 2021. Thesehave high standards from the top down.
Is the Club/Board truly this stupid.

@gnr4life said in Madge Maguire - Mega Thread:
So if one of the issues is he couldn’t attract players, what hope do one of those Pommy coaches have. If we want to attract players, there’s only 2 options. Bennett, and as much as I hate him, Flanagan.
THis is one of the reasons I am behind Ciraldo. I think he would have a lot of pull with some of the younger players.
I dont think its Madge.
He’s the scapegoat.
Its failed negotiations on the part of others that saw us failed to sign JAC and TPJ of late.
What a joke of a club if they let Madge go.
The doco will vindicate him and the ceo and playing group will be the only ones to blame when we get the spoon next year.
Whos gonna wanna come.play here in the next 5 years. We will loose any good up and coming decent players also.
The tigers have been garbage for the best part of 15 years. Madge isnt the problem.
@balmain-boy said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:
Why does anyone think the dogs are realistically offering Munster 1.8 million a year. Especially when they have zero cap space. It’s just a laugh
Because they have been caught cheating before.

Pfft. Doesn’t seem like much of a Trusted Insider to me. Jog on, simps.
Trusted insider is Cotrics cousin I heard.
Never heard of him.
I didn’t listen to the podcast either but I plan on giving some detailed analysis in a few hours once I’ve gathered my thoughts and downed a dozen drinks.
Yeah I didn’t listen to the poddy either.
Guys a fruit salesman right?Interesting.
Anyway, go Tigers !
His family started in markets now he has a raft of very successful businesses.
Definitely worth the listen. Very logical assessment of the role of senior management
@gcfan said in Tigers board to undertake post-season review:
I’d argue Maguire is the hardest worker in the club.
I agree with this post,
Madge needs the support of the coaches to win what he can with the young plyers he has got.
The type of recruits we want will come.
Madge is the closest we will get to a Bellamy style system, They make players instead of buying dregs and wash ups like we have done in the past.
Madge isnt the one who failed to recruit JAC and TPJ when they were all but across the line.
No one can doubt the majority of WTF Members passion. Love and Obsession for this club.
For me , A membership is a vote in support of the current CEO and his Management.
I will not be purchasing a membership in 2022.
