"Wests Tigers are most vulnerable"

I clearly recall many people in here calling for the sharks to be cut.

If any team is cut it should be outside of Sydney.

Warriors
Melb

Lets face it
They both have massive areas to gather support from
They basically have no RL competition
Sure there other codes but those people can support two codes.
I wouldn't but I'm sure there is the odd person who'd support the only team in their city or country.

Yet
Neither have really been more than a waste of money.

I'm assuming this is a p*sstake? How have they been a waste of money?

Central Coast Tigers, funded by "Godfather Harry", to play all home games at Gosford Stadium!

Big question is, would you stay "loyal" to Souffs, or would you jump ship? Again...

How is it good that the Liverpool Macarthur region doesn't have its own fulltime NRL team??? Wests Tigers is basically an inner west club who "travel" to Campbelltown a few times a year. The south west should have its own team! It would include Liverpool all the way down south including the southern highlands. It would also include the area around the future second airport.

I think people agree Wests Tigers should move their base to Campbelltown permanently

But if it meant you supporting us again...uhh no thanks

Which people??? Not the people who have the power to do it! They want a new Camp Concord built!

Maybe Wests Tigers should remain as an inner west club, and Macarthur Liverpool Magpies can come into the NRL, so the Macarthur Liverpool area is looked after properly, and they can defend the area against the AFL and A League!

The appeal of players living in concord may have something to do with the base being there. Professional athletes probably don't wanna live in the south/west area (which could be entirely untrue) but just a guess

Tigers would be totally stupid to neglect the MacArthur region, so I think they would have some sort of plans.

When are the new afl and Aleague teams starting playing in this region? Maybe rather than a club it needs a club that genuinely connects with the region? Not every suburb in Sydney can have a club, it's not 1950!

Why is it the Tigers are so scared of players having to live near Campbeltown, Penrith seem to manage just fine. Basically telling the west that they think they're too good for the area.
Despite this, their current recruitment strategy clearly isn't working. Roster full of plodders and their best players just jumped ship.

The alien way of thinking lol

If we used his way of thinking we'd have 40 nrl teams in Sydney, one for each suburb

I said previously if the nrl was well thought there should be max 4-5 Sydney teams covering all corridors

Not a pisstake at all

Warriors?
Failure on and off the field for years.
They've had more coaches in the last couple of years than Perth have had games.

Why are they even in the Australian National rugby league?
Do the seppo's let other countries have teams in their national footy comp?

Storm?
Won a comp against the other team that had twice the salary cap as all other clubs.
Then cheated for years
Got busted
Kept a team full of the games elite players....from Qld.
Won a comp

Does the Victorian media give a shit
Nup
Do they get huge crowds
Nup
They had the least support at a grand final ever last year.


So
The tigers
They are struggling yeah
So what
If they were winning they'd have 10x more interest from the media and fans than storm and Warriors.

Those two teams are just draining the game of good players who could be playing for a traditional club.

If kiwis want to play in the NRL (when they fail at union ) then sweet.
Move to Sydney and try and get a gig.

So much stupid in one post.
The warriors have done more for growing rugby league than probably any other team in history. Who cares what the yanks do, has absolutely nothing to do with the NRL.

Melbourne have great support in Victoria. Good membership numbers, good crowds and more kids playing Rugby league than ever before down there.

Being based at Campbelltown doesn't require a player to live in Campbelltown. Plenty of areas out there for cashed up players to buy acreage, nice new and existing developments available. If the players weren't fussed on driving they could easily buy up in the Southern Highlands if they wanted to.

Demerge them and send the Magpies to WA to become the West Australian Magpies. That doesn't solve our overcrowded Sydney problem, but we'll have a team on the Westside and we get the Magpies back.

If your wet dream became a reality, would you still follow Souffs or not? Come on, fess up or are you going to dance around this like your bogus coward punch claim?

Bullshit
Melb are a boutique team at best
They've been there 20 odd years and have been given more leg ups than any team in history- yet still hardly anyone down there care about them.

They had about 2% of the crowd at the biggest game of the year.
No use crying about how far they had to travel
That's the game you all want - then cop the travel.
I bet my huge rock star sized nuts that canberrians would've packed out the GF stadium had they made it.
Same time to drive as the flight from Melb to Sydney

Once that team they currently have move on an Bellamy bails they'll be also rans.

Warriors?
Pls
Those useless merkins couldn't even get up to win the 9's in front of their country.
