It would be even better if greedy governments paid volunteers, didn't go on holidays during crises, back burnt properly, built dams, didn't stuff around with the budgets of firies.
That said he could give money but I'm not sure whether he should, especially when a lot of this money will go towards people who were too stupid and or tight to pay for insurance.
20 grand wont go too farIt would be nice if he could donate $1000 per Wests Tigers try this season to the fires disasters charities.
...or too poor. The NSW South Coast is littered with retirees.Harry could give money but I'm not sure whether he should be obligated, especially when a lot of this money will go towards people who were too stupid and or tight to pay for insurance.
And unfortunately we have made this merkin a life member! How pathetic, a billionaire life member and we are broke as shitHarry T could have done a lot for WT with even a trust benefit for the club or even more useful in days gone- a Harry T Centre of Sports Excellence for the club and players to use and/or a new unit to give once every 3 years as a TPA to a new marque player signing. Certainly any or all of these things would not make a huge den in his fortune.
Lets face it Harry T has not been and will never be a major contributor to the future well being of WT. Yes, I know there was the Meriton sponsorship but that was commercial business not his personal contribution.. .

Cash is king,Whilst I too agree Harry’s support for the club appears to be more business then personal, he went on the record a few years ago saying he wanted to be a TPA for the club (he actually said he wanted to sign Billy Slater) but the NRL wouldn’t allow him too as he used to be a sponsor of the club and that’s against their rules

Yep, looks like we have both moved on. We are going OK anyway.If he wanted to help out he would.
Politis runs the Roosters which is fine as he is a smart football guy I'm not sure i want harry running the club. It would either be great or shit house.Just an excuse- if he really wanted to, dont you think he'd have had barristers taking the NRL to court showing up all the NRL HQ inadequacies in application of said ''rules'' as precedents to stick it up the NRL? Hell, Clive Palmer takes people / organisations / governments to court somewhat weekly just for fun and to be annoying. Hell, slip an injunction request in to stop the next NRL season commencing and all signings to be halted pending the outcome of the court case. Palmer would do that and it sure makes the opposition take notice. NRL HQ would shit themselves if the Court granted the injunction. .
He's just one of those people who have / had passion for a club but dont really want to bother themselves too much in terms of $$$ helping even when in his case he really can. Compare him to Politis.
No sympathy from me. You role the dice, lots of times it will go ok but you know the risk of it going snake eyes....or too poor. The NSW South Coast is littered with retirees.
He obviously doesn't throw good money after bad.
He might surprise us, IF we can get into the semi'sHe obviously doesn't throw money at his rugby league team.
