Rumours and Stuff

I hate to quote Fitzy but,

Two 2nd rates teams will make a 2nd rate joint venture.

Still happy we didn't go with them; I mean they would want to back out now from that as well.

The delusion of people living in the so called "Inner West"

Those two second rate clubs in that second rate joint venture have still won a comp since us.

While being well over the salary cap because of the two clubs needing to become one.

Nothing stopped him. Except the Italian Gentlemans club.

I blame Daniel Wagon for shooting out of the line on Bowen.

They should permanently move to Campbelltown regardless. One of the fastest growing regions in Australia. Heaps of juniors in their local comp and Group 6.
Their whole ownership structure is a bit weird though. Wests Ashfield are owners but Wests Campbelltown/Lumeah have nothing to do with it?

I just don't get how the powers that be at Parra don't do what Manly do to us and raid the bejeezus out of their area. It is ripe and juicy with quality and the Tigers are far from a stable and must play for organisation.

Parts of their nursery used to be ours anyway so there is plenty of overlap. We just seem to be very meek and unaggressive in our junior recruitment strategy. We need to be a whole lot smarter and ruthless. Look at what the Dogs under Gould are doing. They are leaving no stone unturned.

Also if the Tigers ever do split from the JV they deserve to die they are that stupid and arrogant. It would also leave a Hell of a lot of fans in limbo and disenfranchised with the game, cos at least half of their fans especially the younger ones are followers of the Tigers and not the Magpies. I suppose we may be a small but significant benefactor of this and pick up a few new followers, but it should/would definitely over time give us more followers out that way if there is no Tiger to follow on account that the Tiger moniker is so strong and beloved and a favorite for young and old. The Magpie moniker is on about the same level of popularity as the Eel so will be easier to entice new supporters one would think.

Anyway will be interesting where this all leads to in the end. One thing for sure though is surely the ARLC/NRL will not want both entities to exist as separate NRL clubs at this point in expansion of the game. You would think it's both in as one or just the one otherwise we are going backwards and weakening the Sydney teams further once again and adding nothing in regards to new markets and fans overall. We still have Perth, PNG, Christchurch and even Adelaide to conquer and then maybe places like Darwin, Tasmania and the pacific Islands way down the track. A stand alone entity that would represent basically Balmain, Leichardt and Glebe is as ridiculous as it sounds.

Very adhoc justifications. Phil Gould took over in 2011 and received funding from Packer in 2012. Penrith didn’t go on their run until 2020 (didn’t win the premiership until 2021).

That’s obviously how long it takes. The Chooks didn’t win their first premiership under Politis until he had been there for nine years.

Did we not have the resources to be premiership contenders during the 2010s or was the club mismanaged despite the resources available?

Keep harping on about mismanagement. We haven’t won a comp in almost forty years. It’s not like these scapegoats have come in and ruined something beautiful.
