West Tigers club news

Sullivan and Bateman have killed our cap. We've let Papalli go as well and he would be perfect for us at lock.

Yep, Papalli should have been retained. He was mismanaged and coached with us. Our rebuild would have been OK with him running off Luai and Galvin.
So far Benji's coaching has not been a total disaster and his tenure is salvageable.

Did Papi want to be here though?
He never really showed his Parra form imo.

He didn't but he also looked good in the middle for us. We've also lost Stef and he gives us a quality middle.

Expressions of Interest: Independent Non-executive Directors​

"Interested persons will be of the highest integrity, possess strong governance skills, display sound judgment, and have a proven track record in change management that has led to a successful culture."

Well that statement surely excludes anyone from the previous Wests Tigers administration from applying. In fact, make it apply to all those involved with running the club way back to when they first started the joint venture.
Hopefully by doing this, we will get rid of all the cronies that have kept us as a door mat for all those years.
Our club has been like a graveyard.
A club where players came to to ruin their careers, a club where administrators came to blow their own trumpets and stuff things up and leave...or get sacked.
It's now time to make it come alive, shiney and be successful.

I'm assuming these directors are like other companies where they are not company employees but whose job is to challenge, question and monitor the performance of the Wests Tigers CEO and other senior management staff.
Whilst we are all seemingly in support of Richo, it's important that we don't reinvent the wheel.
A CEO can be a powerful figure in a company who can twist, turn and mould it to how he wants it to be. This is OK if he wasn't a human. Humans make mistakes however.

Previous club administrators have made mistakes and compounded them by making even greater mistakes thus digging the grave deeper.
I hope that these new independent directors instill the "WESTS TIGERS" first culture and not Western Suburbs or Balmain.

A gentle reminder to all the club administrators.....our club colours are an equal share of Black, Gold and White.
Let's start this new era by reapplying these colours back into our playing strip's and paraphernalia.
Tigers are not black!

This is big, coincidentally we need some spots available, they all need to keep on their toes.

The cynic in me thinks this is just about freeing up roster spots.

Jesus, Richo looks like a walking heart attack waiting to happen.

I think it's f**ken hilarious. He looks like shite.

Has anyone got the members pack in the mail yet? I'm wondering what the hat is like. It's predominantly black which gives me the shitesters.

He also coached Wests Tigers if I'm thinking of the right player ...a skinny little halfback.

It's come from the Wests Magpies, so I am assuming it is about the Wests club, not the WT's.

When things were grim att when Richo arrived and our Chairman got the boot and threatened to take his lollies with him, Richo said "we'll get sponsors, don't you worry about that"....a bold statement but since then a few have jumped on board like Pepper Money and now PAMA have joined the fight.

Local sponsor upgrades to new three-year deal

Wests Tigers is thrilled to announce local development and construction company PAMA will be on the sternum of the NRL playing jersey for the next three years.

Unequivocally WT’s best ever player.Phenomenal player who played with utmost integrity.He lived above my cousins unit in Abbotsford & is also such a nice person.Hes one rare forward u could justify paying $1m/yr today coz he would undoubtedly earn his money.I dream about us finding another clone of his in Yorkshire

He was great but I'm not sure you can put him above Hodgo, Benji and Robbie.
