Wests Tigers posted:

Wests Tigers ownership structure confirmed

Wests and Balmain have agreed an $8.5 million deal that will ensure the financial future of Wests Tigers.

The deal which determines Wests Tigers ownership and future contributions ensures Wests Tigers' long term viability.

The ownership structure sees Wests move to 75% ownership with Balmain retaining 25% and the Board expanded to nine directors. Balmain has two Board positions, Wests has five Board positions with the remaining two positions being filled by Independent Directors.  

Wests and Balmain wish to express their thanks to Lucio Di Bartolomeo who has now stood down from the Wests Tigers Board. Lucio’s contributions over the past 20 months have been exceptional.

Wests acknowledges Balmain's contribution to the joint venture since 2000 including their integrity in preserving their long history. Both Wests and Balmain are founding 1908 Clubs which, together, will continue to build a proud future for Wests Tigers.

Balmain acknowledges Wests Ashfield Leagues' role in securing the operational and financial viability of Wests Tigers over the past four years and for its generous offer to Balmain to secure its place as part of Wests Tigers in the NRL into the future.

The new arrangement brings the NRL’s involvement over the last two years in assisting Wests and Balmain to restructure Wests Tigers to a conclusion. Both Clubs thank the NRL for its role in reaching this agreement. 

The nine members of the new Wests Tigers Board are:

Marina Go (Chair), James Myatt, Simon Cook, Michael Liubinskas, Rick Wayde, Tony Andreacchio, Mike Bailey, Rosemary Sinclair and Danny Stapleton.

So that's that, I guess?

MAROONS 2023 STATE OF ORIGIN CHAMPIONS FOR LIFE



quote:

Halfback Cooper Cronk has been forced to leave Queensland State of Origin training in a medicab after suffering a suspected ankle injury.

Cronk went down early with the complaint and, at first, did not appear troubled by it during Friday's opposed session before calling for medical assistance.

It capped a disruptive day for the Maroons.

Manly's Daly Cherry-Evans and Brenton Lawrence had been invited, along with a number of fringe players, to take part in Friday's opposed session but could not attend after their flights were grounded due to strong winds at Sydney Airport.

A glimmer of hope for the Blues (insofar as C-E might have to play...)?

I hope Cherry-Evans has improved at halfback, because he was shitawful in Game II last year.

Pretty sure that it's just mind-games from the Maroons re: Cronk, but they won't play DCE in the run-on again, it'll be JT/Morgan for sure with DCE/a good player as a utility, which is probably more scary than JT/Cronk tbh

Anything less than 50 - 0, and I'll be disappointed.

This is a team that is a clusterfuck of egos, lack of talent and ability and needs to be ripped apart screaming and sacrificed to the gods.

Good game

It was surprising that hunt and milford couldnt expose the tigers fringes who were very compressed. JAC took a couple of interceptions of floaty nonsense passes because they wanted to get the ball out wide.

That was well hosed. Broncos had no go forward and neither Milf nor Hunt could get a job done. Tigers played well too.

Edit

Something ive noticed is that stuart is pulling a forward at the end and having baptiste at hooker and hodgson at 7 and austin and sezer either side of him. Its working great so far and its an interesting strategy in the reduced interchange world

Tariq Sims is supposedly off to St George tomorrow. This feels weird given that he was made co-captain at the start of the season.
