Just hope they're up to the task.

Does anyone know how Members redeem the supposed 10% discount on tickets? Absolutely no communications from the club.

haha, did you expect otherwise. More then likely sting you 10% more if ticket sales are going well

 

[WA Tiger]

We’ll beat Cronulla by a country mile then everyone can get fked, including Peter Fitzsimmons ..

Sounds like the very common warranty where you have to write in to register by the 7th day after the sale or you miss out ..either in small print or no print.. a lot of older people going wtf

Peter Fitzsimmons can get f**ked regardless of the result.

What has that fruit loop done now?

I was contemplating attending as despite her 19th century facilties, the old girl still batters her eyelashes.

But ive heard its aleady a sell out from the girl at work who is attending. Shes paid $40 a ticket.

Ive given her the heads up:

1. Go the bathroom before the game.
2. Eat on your way in.
3. Boots for hill viewing
4. Keep away from the fascist security people.
As reported last year, they were picking on an old indigenous lady which we didnt like. If he kept going, the justice of it would have demanded crowd intervention.

I think we will play a lot better against the sharks than against the eels. That was not a 2025 effort.

I love our LO.

Yeah, I think LO brings out the best in our teams when we play there.
I'm always quietly confident, and this game is no different, we've got this.
Us by 12 with Luai MoM.

There was a Galvo thing i think.

I didnt bother reading it.

My issue is his overt and co-vert self promotion, i can only ingest so much of it.

A lot of these media people treat people as stupid.

Most of the NRL journalists are genuinely pathetic.

They dont actually promote the sport.

Good point about the NRL guys, is there a fair and balanced journo amongst them?

I can't stand Fitzy, just an absolute imbecile.

Well as you know, im interested in communications and regret not formally studying linguistics.

But almost all the time, a journo for a big media is going to start off with the assumption that they are trusted.

But more lay people are coming to understand a broader picture.

Im not a conspiracy theorist ( i dont believe refs cheat) but i dont totally trust journos.

You look at how bad the questions are in press conferences are. Bennet is a key exponent of manipulating questions, like a politician. Benji is learning, but no one is really asking him tough questions often.

And if he doesnt want to answer a question, the journo should ask why wont he?

Lots of communication issues in league, the game could do better.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The closest to truth we get in the game is what goes on out on the paddock.

Das once said the game was afflicted by "bears dancing on barrels" and its truer today than when he said it.

I have recourse to think about this apt description every now and again.

I don't think the refs cheat either, but the NRL allow gambling throughout there sport, they need to do better.
PVL runs the racing, they'd have parties if they looked at how they police the game.
The review guy IMO, has to be a panel of three (they don't all have to be at the game), with best of 3 the decision, otherwise it's just to open for criticism.

Recently we've had both one of our biggest wins and biggest losses at LO.
Who knows what team runs out or should I say what mindset will they have, winners or losers.
Reading into LO's fan's reactions will is interesting.
LG ran out to some applause last weekend after being dropped to KOE Cup....but that was playing in a Western Suburbs jersey and he came thru Western Suburbs pathways so those clapping may be from a small segment of magpie supporters.
LO could be different. I don't think the Tigers fans will be so forgiving, time will tell.
If he runs out at the start of game and back into the sheds at half time and full time to a jeering hostile crowd then that's likely to rock the lad.
What happens if he is totally off his game. Does Benji hook him and bring Bird into the ⅝ to finish the game?
Then what? If this happens, Benji would have a legitimate reason to drop him and the bullying protests will fall on ears less sensitive.
There's talk that there could be a three club/player shake up, Newcastle's Kai Pearce-Paul, Parra's Brown and Tiger's Galvin.
When is the best time for this to happen? Now or end of the year.
He is on a low wage atm and it rises next year. Something is telling me that we need LG to really kick butt against the Sharks as this will make the other clubs more likely to go ahead with player swaps.
It's in Galvin's interest and Wests Tigers' to play really well, man of the match stuff as this should improve his chances to secure a swap deal and help us.
I haven't heard LG address the media and say that his bagging of the coach was not correct.
Say he's sad it has come to this and that he wants to make up for it by giving it all whenever he plays in a WT jersey.
His reputation is shot unless he does this. It is time to grow up into a man and face the music. You are going to be paid like a champion footballer so it's time to start acting like one, on and off the field.

Like Sands through an hourglass, these are the days of our ( Wests Tigers) lives.

Chips are down, club is under pressure, Leichardt oval on a sunday, this is going to be an old fashioned rogering

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Thank you @Nutz

Well any allegation that dropping him wasnt in his best interests will be dispelled once he hears the boos and jeers throughout the match.

Im not even sure the players will appreciate him doing something good now -that hes a self-styled hero and wants to chase the big money.

Hes resilient, but career-wise hes with a club on a bit of a surge with a marquee half and he might have been better to ride along, learn and contribute.

I think hes very good for his age, but not marquee.

But he took Issacs word for it as did his parents.

At the moment, his market value is primarily built on expectation.

My criticism of Benji is broader, his approach to games, his rotations, his pr, sonetimes his selections But Galvo, if we believe Pole, hes been given rhe run of the club snd its been working for him, so im not sure why hes adopted such a negative tone against Benji except on advice.

He shouldnt gave gone public with it. I mean we might have leaked it, but he didnt have to go down that path.
Its been unhelpful to him and the club. Benji did well with it, im glad he acknowledged his critics.

And the players turning their backs on him, you wouldnt forget that. It was an individual choice.

If we are talking furures, i have to be honest and say i like the parramatta fullback. That would but pressure on Bula to stay. But as a back, he could be anything this kid. I said it awhile ago to their forum and most of them chortled. Now they are revising their opinion. So on a futures basis, hed be on my last round of candidates. Signed until 27 alas.
