Since getting his feet under the desk at the Wests Tigers just a few months ago, club chief executive Shane Richardson has sealed the Jarome Luai deal, parted ways with recruitment guru Scott Fulton, ditto all-time leading try-scorer David Nofoaluma, alleged the club has fudged its real membership numbers, threatened to take games away from Leichhardt and Campbelltown, and signed a full-time contract for himself.
On Saturday, Knights star Dane Gagai lined up a relatively simple penalty-goal attempt with 10 minutes to go in Tamworth. It made sense for Newcastle, who were up by 10 points at the time and seeking a lead of two converted tries. But instead of making the kick, Gagai – not a first-choice or regular kicker, and only deputising for the injured Kalyn Ponga – booted his attempt wide of the posts.The ball bounced inches inside the dead-ball line but, as they all loitered in front of the posts, not a single Tigers player was there to catch it and try to return it to the field of play, a good chance given few Newcastle players had bothered following the kick.Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall on the bench in Tamworth.
Yet, there’s no BS with Richo and there shouldn’t be at the Tigers. He’s been around long enough to know the only currency in the NRL that fans really care about is wins and losses.
