Yeah, I’m not going there.
I know how stressful and **** is was when we were on the skids and a joke of a club,
so there is no way I’m bagging any another club (unless Broncos or Easts!).

Aren’t they the money though ?
Who’s going to cover the costs. The Meriton guy doesn’t seem willing to stump up.

I actually feel a lot of sympathy for the West Tigers fan base. What the club has put them through is horrible.

And before that they thought coming 9th was their biggest issue so they sent their coach off to win tests, origins and eventually a premiership while they hit a triple of wooden spoons

Yeah, wow, I hadn’t even thought of how good Michael McGuire’s life has been since leaving the Tigers. Ivan Cleary hasn’t done too bad either but that was a bit different. At least it seemed so – it looked like Ivan was a complete dick who talked a big game but couldn’t deliver and bailed. Looks like the best decision of his career now.
It’s hard to believe that a club can be so poorly run by mistake. Like they just seemed to sort of start to get their **** together a bit. Luai continues to publicly commit and things are looking a bit brighter. Then someone lights this dumpster fire.

Nah **** em. Most of those pricks were gleefully calling for us to either be kicked out of the league or relocated when we were at our worst, a lot of which still do. We didn’t get any sympathy from them so why should I give them any. I hold grudges and I’ll never forget how rival fans treated us at our lowest, Tigers fans were one of the worst.
**** em, I hope they fold. Karmas a bitch.

What a completely disastrous **** show. The NRL needs to take over the club.
Image being a fan of this team. I wouldn't blame anyone for jumping ship so they could have some chance of enjoying rugby league again.
Poor results are one thing, but the management has been self destructing for decades. Yuck.

What a **** show. The HBG runs a Leagues Club, why the **** should they have a say on player contracts? Crazy ****.

AP = SMH reporter
AP: You talked about a lack of communication – and obviously the four independent directors are no longer there – what responsibility does Shane Richardson bear for that?
DP: “I think some of the decisions that were made, that should have come to the Holman Barnes Group for approval, certainly didn’t happen. And that’s coming from the CEO and the board.”
AP: Is there anything in the [ownership] agreement whereby certain actions taken by the football club have to come back to you either for ratification or to inform you of what’s going on?
DP: “That’s correct. In the agreement, there is a threshold limit that if transactions – let’s say transactions above a certain limit – need to come back to Holman Barnes Group for approval.”
AP: Such as player signings above a certain [financial] limit?
DP: “That’s correct.”

Holman and Barnes get their names attached to this.
I'm so glad (touch wood), those dark days of crap boards and senior management are behind us.
Imagine if we didn't have a strong leadership group the last 5 years with our leagues club debacle. We probably wouldnt be around

That would be normal, I think. Even if just for a rubber stamp.
Benji chose St George over Cronulla so his judgement is obviously whack.

@SF this is in the SMH.
Former rugby league star Josh McGuire has been charged with serious offences against a child.
McGuire, a former Brisbane Bronco, St George Illawarra Dragons player and Australian representative, faces two charges, including one of common assault.
He was brought to the Brisbane watch house by police and charged after a complaint was made to investigators following two alleged incidents last week.
The charges relate to the alleged strangulation of a five-year-old.
