Todd Greenberg has pretty much said one Sydney team will be relocated.

That's a very good lint about Campbelltown. Forty years of history suggests it is incapable of supporting a professional rugby league club.

Same as the 16 years as the lower grade Logan Scorpions, no wonder AFL moved in

I think the main appeal of Campbelltown would be the population growth that is forecast in the next 20-30 years. The Tigers would have a chance to cement a large area of their own instead of being “boxed in” by bigger clubs.

In saying that there are definitely flaws in that plan as well.

Sydney population is booming out there and towards Penrith

The thing about Campbo is that it's only Wests that have failed there. You give Gus and the dogs a crack there and things would probably be different for that region

He has mentioned the competitions out there are pretty good with their juniors talentwise, is he gets Canterburys area up and running to what it use to be then goes to poach from that macarthur area, watch out, dogs will be force

So is the ideal solution for the Tigers to re-focus on inner-West & let Bulldogs claim the South-west?

For instance...

SFS - Rabbitohs & Roosters

Parramatta Stadium - Eels & Tigers

Campbelltown (or a new build in Liverpool if they don't want to go so far SW) - Bulldogs

The owners are in Ashfield, football operations at Burswood so they have already chosen the inner west. All games at Commbank makes sense to me. But they continue to worry about fans from 2 clubs that died 23 years ago.

Gawd save us from Gus and the Dogs.

The Macarthur area goes up towards Penriths area up to around Warragamba / Silverdale from memory, and into the Liverpool area as well as now being merged with the Sthn Highlands group.
Illawarra borders them in that area from around Douglas Park & Wilton approximately. Parra I think borders on the other side of Liverpool.

It’s a pretty large RL area and Wests Macarthur (not Wests Ashfield afaik) just last week or so handed to over $330,000 to assist in registration and other costs for the juniors.

 

[Perth Red]

Clubs get more than half their revenue from corporate game day sales and sponsorships. i suspect theres not many wealthy companies in the Campbelltown region hence the reluctance for anyone to be based there.

the idea of the tigers becoming WS Tigers owned by a wealthy consortium rather than a pokie den and playing Ft out of WSS makes the most sense.

If WS needs the Tigers when it has 3-4 clubs already covering the region is a different discussion

That’s the one. A good news story.

It's long overdue Wests getting behind that area. Why they arnt based there is perplexing.

Wests have had the power and 90% ownership since about 2015 now though.

still that need to appease both sides

would honestly be better for everyone if wests just took back full control, re-rebranded as the magpies (I personally like the sound of Macarthur Magpies, with a link to the a-league side and joint lobbying for a stadium), and opened up the tigers branding for easts in Brisbane to eventually get the nod

instead we have the wests magpies dressed as a tiger, but in the most "i dont give a shit" costume ever

they supposedly see the value in the tigers brand, but then simultaneously refuse to wear a predominantly orange jersey, its honestly perplexing

It's a clusterf#ck of a club, very frustrating as a fan.

They got so much potential but have no idea on how to achieve it.

 

[Wb1234]

Wests Ashfield don’t own wests Campbelltown hence the problem

games at lo are closer to their leagues club in Ashfield

You feel somethings got to give both on and off the field soon.
