We need Lee and Justin to step aside.Simon Kelly (Kingscliff , 2023-07-14)
#1203
The club is obviously being run by incapable and incompetent board. In any other business this sort of under performance would not be tolerated, they must be replaced as we are only going backwards which was only made possible by a 17th teamNick P (Quakers Hill, 2023-07-14)

The football dept is going backward year on year! It’s time for change as the board is accountable for the decisions made over the last 10 years.Andrew Leclerc (Sydney , 2023-07-14)

I’m 5 years old my dad is helping me .I want to see my fav team finally make the finals that I’ve never experienced in my short life .
I hope one day to see my tigers back at the top where they belong .

I'm sick of the board having no accountability but yet are quick to shuffle the blame to the next up and coming coach who was all the rage 18months before they sacked them.Daniel Fowler (Blacktown , 2023-07-14)

This is my signature to say we need change at to top , it has gone nowhere in 10 years at it is getting worse , Change is needed🇦🇺Mark Jones (Ingleburn, 2023-07-14)

The people in charge of this club need to be replaced. Failure over too many years needs change at head office NOWNathan South (Sydney, 2023-07-14)

Enough is enough. It is exhausting being a Wests Tigers supporter. After following Balmain for 18 years and now the Wests Tigers for 24 years, I'm not sure how much more I can take. Something has got to change and it has to start at the top!!!Trevor Millar (Brisbane , 2023-07-14)

After over a decade of changes to everything except the board, nothing has changed. Its time to review the one thing that is immune to change.Chris Hannan (CHIPPING NORTON, 2023-07-14)

I am sick of the continued on field failures of this club. Things need to change now,and those at the top must be heald to accountWayne Turner (Sydney, 2023-07-14)

My immediate family has had membership for 12 seasons, but not for 2024 as we have to get this negative experience out of our lives. It's clear the coaches cannot get any momentum in improving the team when senior management and governance make regular changes that undermine them.Luke West (Castle Hill, 2023-07-15)
#1224
The way directors are appointed to the board means there is no way for them to be held accountable. New CEOs, new coaches, new heads of football, new players and nothing has worked. The governance model must be reformed.Christian Bennett (Cardiff, 2023-07-15)

How does the Board and Management of any member-driven organisation hold AGMs without the presence and votes of the members?Despite asking for the members membership fees, The Wests Tigers board act in secrecy. The NRL should threaten the club with reregistration.

#1238
I'am signing this because last Time the Tiger's made the 8 I was 29 years old I'am now 44 years old I feel like I've wasted a lifetime hoping to see improvement I don't want to be 50 years old and still waiting the board need to go because this club is the loughing stock of the NRL thanks to the Media and NRL 360 and yet you never hear anything about what Paul Kent as done as a fan I've had enough on how the Media continue to bag this club if it keeps going this way I don't think the club will be around when or if I make it to 50 years old.Allan Chislett (Umina , 2023-07-16)

Lifelong tigers fan, originally Balmain but supported WT since merger of two great clubs. The club has become a laughing stock. There is either a leadership vacuum or they just are the wrong people to lead a footy club. Enough is enough. Bring in adult supervision.Martin Baker (Tokyo , 2023-07-16)
#1246
The club lurches from one crisis to the next. There appears to be an endemic failure of leadership which has held the club back from success. Without change there will be no fans and no clubThomas Peloso (Sydney, 2023-07-16)
#1249
A review that benchmarks our football and non-football operations against leading NRL clubs and other non-NRL sporting organisations needs to occur to identify why our club is not the powerhouse that it should be and can be.Ian Robinson (Penrith, 2023-07-16)
#1250
Because we need to have a board that supports our coaching team & not undermine them. Why was Scott Fulton signed on without any consultation? Give the current coaching team time to regroup the side. We have been in a hole for years now & the only solution they gave it’s to sack the coach - the rot is at the top!!!Vicki Hawkins (Esk, 2023-07-16)

Over the governance of this club, tonight's media story was the final straw.Nathan Castelli (Wilton, 2023-07-16)
#1253
I'm signing now after feeling it was too soon into a 5 year plan I have seen it all fall apart in the last few weeks. Not enough attention to detail, not enough culture built up, too many mixed messages finding their way into the media. Just generally unprofessional organisation.Joshua Burnell (Ashfield, 2023-07-16)

Wests Ashfield board has to goBraeden Ferdinands (Sydney, 2023-07-16)
#1256
The board and it's elected heads need to go. We, the fans have had enough since this board have gotten in and continued to support the decisions of the heads regardless of how the fans feel about it and us ending up without another finals showing. Enough is enough. We deserve better.Patrick Livingstone (Bellambi, 2023-07-16)

The club is a jokeTroy Bartsch (Sydney, 2023-07-17)
#1275
Too long has our club been poorly run, leading to us being the joke of the league and poor results which have lasted over a decade. We have lost promising juniors year after year and haven’t been close to tasting finals let alone grand final success and for a team that has such a passionate fan base and proud history, that is unacceptable.Changes need to happen and although this isn’t much, it is a step in the right direction.

Tigers fan since 04 (5 years old). Club has been on a downward spiral ever since - have seen clubs capitulate and re-group to win premierships or compete for premierships. 19 years on, tigers are abysmal and laughing stock of the competition. Time for change!Paul Mangelakis (Brisvane, 2023-07-17)
#1292
The club is being run in to the ground, the media are having a field day lampooning us. How the hell they thought hiring Sheens as coach was a good idea is beyond me, someone needs to be held accountable for these horrific decisionsPaul Gibbons (Lithgow, 2023-07-17)

Members deserve better. If the club truly valued its members it will engage an independent consultant to review and follow the recommendationsDavid Perry (Sutherland , 2023-07-17)
#1298
I’m 50, been a supporter my whole life, and a member for about the last 10 years.I watch every Tigers game but find it more and more difficult to follow the competition while we remain uncompetitive.
If no serious changes are made this year, I will cancel my membership and use my time and energy each week on something less upsetting.

#1301
The fish rots from the head. The rubbish has gone on for too long and fans are frustrated with the inability have an input into the way the club is run. There is clear issues in the front office and if the people in charge do not have the stomach to stand down and do the right thing then we must do that for them. Pascoe and Hagipentilis out now!Daniel Perry (Newcastle, 2023-07-17)

I genuinely believe that Wests Tigers deserve to have a proud outlook. From what we can all see, things are being hidden, things are not clear from one coach to the next, Wether it be head or scouting members. The club deserves better, the fans deserve better and the players deserve to be publicly proud. Shame on the head honchos.Matt Adams (Balmain, 2023-07-17)

I love my Tigers so much and I'm tired of the hierarchy providing nothing but problems. Sheens and Benji coming was so exciting at the helm. They have managed to sabotage that with more high school gossip and drama . It's time to clean them all outBilly Cocks (Newcastle , 2023-07-17)

Having been a member for most of the life of the joint venture it pains me to have to sign a petition of this nature ,however this continuous circus has got to stop.

im signing this because for the last decade have watched the team i love turn into a laughing stock, whilst managment have not done a thing apart from protect themselves by sacking coach's and players when it should have started at the top.There has been plenty of talent let go because the players themselves can see how terrible it is .Ive been a supporter of the magpies then the joint venture for 45years and am embarrased to tell people i support them and have put my beani and cap into hibernation for years now.FRANK RUGOLO (BANORA POINT, 2023-07-18)

I demand that the Wests Tigers organisation be subjected to a thorough external review, encompassing all aspects of the organisation.This would include all aspects of governance, operational leadership, administration, day to day operations and football department operations/structures.

I've followed the Tigers since 1981 when I visited my sister in Sydney. The club has now become a rudderless ship with no direction. We can't retain players who have gone to become elite at other clubs. There is no stability, and it appears our recruitment is a lucky dip. How many juniors from within our system are let go to play elsewhere????Just do something and cut out the rhetoric.

I have had a gutfull of the embarrassing performance of senior management/board over the last 10 years. Coaches, assistants, players etc have been sacked & the so called management that run this club are still there, this is disgraceful!!!The club cannot attract top line players because of this situation, when there is a change at the top, there will still need to be a 5 year period before success comes. Sheens, Benji & Robbie are the right people however the Senior management need to go now!!!

I've walked away.Sacking Michael Maguire was the last straw for me in an endless line of sacked coaches being scapegoats to a clearly ineffective board and culture.
2 once proud clubs joined together into and absolute shambles.
Maybe it's time to swallow your pride and try something new.
I welcome an independent review!

I’m signing this petition because I’m 24 years old and fell in love with this football club at 6 years old and over the last few years that love has faded and turned to bitterness because how this club has been and still is going backwards and run into the ground by the head office. I’m also signing this for the future of the club I personally can’t see anyone new following this organisation or growing the fan base with the direction it’s headed. Enough is enough and it’s time for a change!Jay Ross (San Remo , 2023-07-18)

I'm signing because I've been supporting Balmain since 1974 and the Wests Tigers since 2000. I've never seen it so bad. Like all other fans I'm sick and tired of all the drama in the club. Should be concentrating on how to turn around our on-field performances. We have a losing culture at the moment and that's unacceptable.Jesmond Cassar (Claimant, 2023-07-18)

I'm totally fed up at being the laughing stock of the NRL Competition. People need to be accountable for the lack of progress and instability at this club and that starts at the top. We need new leadership our CEO must go he has under performed it's time for a massive change for this club to survive. Let's move forward together and get this great club back to the glory days where it truly belongs. Cheers GusFergus Craig (NSW, 2023-07-18)
