Does that mean there's three holes in their potential line-up?

I'm not bothered about who historically was popular in the area, its the one region of Sydney without an NRL presence close by, given Macarthur FC are also out there, they and the Tigers could potentially pair up and seek funding for Campbelltown to receive an upgrade similar to Parramatta, Penrith and the SFS if they can host NRL, NRLW, A League mens and womens out there, given there is no stadium nearby.

It's certainly far more likely the government would OK spending money on Campbelltown than Leichhardt.

When things are going bad...

Wests Tigers board member quits amid "sexually explicit" Instagram expose

SEN  •  December 12th, 2025 1:53 pm
Death, taxes and chaos at the Wests Tigers.
Chairman of the Holman Barnes Group, Dennis Burgess, who serves on the board of the NRL club, has resigned from his position.
It comes just days after it was reported that Burgess followed hundreds of sexually explicit pages on Instagram, though he insists it is not the catalyst behind his decision to step away.
Using the handle "wildmandenny", more than 200 of the 4500 accounts Burgess follows on Instagram display inappropriate content.
“No-one has forced me out, it’s my decision," he told News Corp. “That Instagram page is a relic from my old music life.
“I haven’t touched it since 2017.
“To be clear, I wasn’t ever steering it – someone helping with promotions was driving the account and they likely followed just about everyone to boost the profile.
“Yeah sure, it really should’ve been a generic music handle rather than me, but to me it’s long since been forgotten.
“I wouldn’t say I was hacked, in the technical sense of the word. But I’ve sure been blindsided by it because I was not in control of it.
“At the end of the day, people have jumped on it and weaponised it for their own reasons.”
Burgess' resignation comes just days after the club sacked four board members before being forced to overturn their decision by the NRL.
CEO Shane Richardson was also removed from his position and the club, in the midst of the chaos and instability, looks set to hand Benji Marshall a new contract extending through to 2030.
More to come.

The question is where does Luai go next? Melbourne have been clearing out, Papenhuyzen, NAS and Pezet all gone, talk of Munster going to Perth, could Luai pop up down there?

Louis Johns is joining the Sydney Roosters on a pathways contract for the upcoming 2026 season. He'll be part of the U17s Harold Matthews competition as a halfback, following in his father Andrew Johns' footsteps. The pathways contract suggests the Roosters are investing in his development for future NRL games. Andrew Johns, a rugby league Immortal, has undoubtedly paved the way for Louis, and the Roosters likely see potential in him to carry on his father's legacy

PT there’s a lot of nepotism in all walks of life. Sport, politics, business etc.

Any kid of Andrew Johns who has the internal motivation will be well schooled and have the skills. The motivation will be what makes him or breaks him.

Thinking of nepotism you don’t need to dig deep into Australian politics or business to find it.

The Murdoch’s, Packer’s, Beazley’s, Lowy’s, Fitzgibbon’s, Katter’s, etc, etc, etc.

The rorters have seen a number of parents remove their promising kids from their  pathways  due to “cultural reasons”
That Johnsey thinks their suitable for his kid is, probably, quite tell8ny

Dragons sign Keaon Koloamatangi from Rabbitohs on massive five-year NRL deal



https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-06/nrl-keaon-koloamatangi-signs-with-dragons-from-rabbitohs/106202500

The move will give St George Illawarra some much-needed power up front, with the deal believed to be in the vicinity of $5 million across the five years.

1 game of SOO in NZ 2027. Think this is perfect considering the amount South sea islanders playing the game. Neutral ground as well. 5 million dollar deal for NRL
