Tigers into Roosters

[The Brain]

Put it this way if West Tigers split up I am pretty sure their contracts are null and void..Welcome to the Chooks Jerohme.

Luai is available to negotiate next year and each subsequent year of his deal anyway. If the Tigers do break up it would just be the Magpies taking over the contracts wouldn't it?

I think it means free agents.
Tigers will not 9improve with a big elemnt of doubt and the front office all farked up..never works ..all needs to be in harmony.

Yeh I would imagine the Magpies would retain the franchise license. And I think the NRL would be quietly happy about it. South West Sydney is already booming and that airport will only speed it up. It's 100% the right strategy from a business sense to focus their energy into that area.

We could pick up the inner west juniors... already got an affiliation with Glebe, had a good relationship with Newtown in the past. Plenty of Roosters fans in the inner west and with the urban sprawl it's pretty much East anyway now right?

He could well be the Jonah.

How many comps did we win when he was a Rooster?

Isn’t there talk that the new kiwi team could be teaming up with Balmain?

All NRL teams have renewed their licences so if Wests Tigers fold either the Holman group /Wests Ashfield or Balmain would need to apply for the licence - Wests Tigers have a complicated ownership arrangement - Holman group 60% , Wests Ashfield 30% and Balmain 10%.

Wests Tigers should be based in Macarthur/Group 6 but have neglected this area.

The Roosters would be better off taking over the expanding Macarthur/Group 6 area than the ever dwindling inner west area.

The Roosters were in talks to take over the Macarthur /Group 6 area juniors with the Marsden Brothers until the usual culprits - Arthurson ( Manly) /Parker(Souths ) /Moore(Bulldogs) vetoed it and backed Wests to move to Campbelltown - Wests were actually removed from the comp by the NSWRL at that time a few years after Newtown.

Even though it was about 20 years ago when the Northern Eagles folded and Manly took control I don't remember the players going onto the open market.
I would think the Tigers players contracts would just transfer to the new owners (West Magpies I would presume) I doubt any players would have anything in their contracts that they are free to leave if the club moves, change of ownership or name.
Same with us, if for some reason the club decided to revert back to being called Easts there would be no way players could say I didn't sign up for this so I'm testing the open market.
They are a basket case of a club, too many chiefs and home grounds.
I would be happy if the became the Magpies again and just have 1 home ground out in the Campbelltown area.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

That club is a basket case and the board it's biggest problem. They need to rid themselves of both the old Balmain and old Magpies directors. And bring in people from the last 25 years who have been "Wests Tigers."
The fans are the ones who will lose out if the club splits.

Let’s just hope that the Wests Tigers or the Magpies stay in the comp & all their players stick together.
The Chooks had there chance to get Luai but didn’t so let him stay at the Wests franchise & hopefully bring them up the ladder.
I’m hoping Luai & others that they have at the club can make them a force.
I just want the Roosters to develop top talent through their pathway system instead of buying players from weak clubs.

So you'd be annoyed that they picked up Tedesco?

No.
I just think that a 3 years in a row wooden spooners team should be left alone.
Is that okay with you?
