West Tigers club news

[Nutz]

Club said it was clamping down on leaks. Turuva leaks? Generated by player and or agent I guess.

 

[Das Hassler]

The WT paddock has become pretty bare feeding for the media herd
No " when will the front office be accountable"
NoPascoe...Hapi...Brooks...no leaks . outrage..McArthur...unable to attract talent...no plan...nrl basketcase ... No madge...no "lost the dressing room" etc etc. This old menu was their daily free dinner

Seems to be pretty reliable reporting that Richo rejected a personal approach by Russell Crowe to return and straighten out Souths in favour of staying with our ( formerly known as) basketcase WT ....pretty positive sign me thinks

 

[Wizardman]

Let's not undersell the Richo 4 year extension. Richo is a man who has never failed at any club he has been at. All of his stints, the clubs have been in better shape than when he arrived. Richo is taking on the granddaddy of all problem children in the Wests Tigers and I couldn't be happier.

Huge day for our club!

I was having a peaceful arvo Das till I read "Pascoe and Hagipagilistic" It gives me a sick feeling just thinking about the muppet leaders and the board.

Did anyone think at the end of last season, we would have
Playing:
Sezer
Galvin
The Fainu Bros
Olam
Signed for next year
Luai
Turuva

It’s been a huge turnaround for the club, including the coaches.
While early success have been mixed, the signs are there.

Tigers release statement after "inaccurate reporting" over venue future

The club have moved to distance itself from reports.

www.zerotackle.com

This is a bit more informative than what's on the club site.

There were reports on the weekend in one of the bottom of the budgie cage liners that we were the only club to lose money last year, and the figure was about 2.2 million. On top of that, and not unexpectedly, former chairman Lee has pulled his sponsorship, confirming he never cared about the tigers and his whole involvement was an ego driven, vanity project. We've also lost our sleeve sponsor. This will total about $1.5 million in additional lost revenue.

I know the info about the sponsors is true, but if the other bit about us losing 2.2 million last year is true you have to wonder how it could have happened? I mean aside from the entire wages of the top 30 players the NRL kicks in about another 5 million more per annum. That's before any Wests Ashfield money, sponsorship money, gate takings, merch etc. Well done Pascoe. Give yourself a pat on the back.

I can see why they'd want to take the home games to a venue were we get paid a hefty sum to turn up. The sponsorship is going to be harder to replace considering we're unlikely to finish any higher on the table than we are now, and possibly claiming our 3rd straight spoon.

Wages and paying out former coaches/staff must be astronomical if we lost over 2 million .

The profit from LO beer sales alone should cover that .

 

[Tigerm]

If you remember this bloke, tell me it doesn’t make you feel old. Hahaha

$2.2m isn't really that much these days is it? Surely my membership money has eased the pain somewhat.
I've got a simple philosophy about money....If you think nobody cares whether you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

That is an all time tantrum. Thank god this complete sook is no longer affiliated with the club.

 

[Fangs]

Has this fedora bloke got any fans on here? Even one?

Loves to tell everyone how loyal he was seeing out the sponsorship and can't help bag the current administration who are making big moves for the club. Hopefully the last we hear of him in rugby league news.

He’s only getting warmed up…

By not dealing with Lee over the past few months, this basically shows that Tigers rightfully no longer wanted any part of Lee in the organisation. The only reason why Lee did not pull out in December was that he still wanted some part in the way the club is run.
Good riddance!

I imagine it will be much the same this year. Last financial year would include Madge's payout whereas this financial year will include Sheens and his wife too. How much was Sheens paid out last time he was sacked?
