Oh good. Thankfully Buzz now has a temporary distraction from trolling Gus.

“I felt that the honourable thing to do was to fulfil my current obligations, although honour is a quality that does not seem to permeate throughout the upper echelons of the Wests Tigers ownership.”

 

[Benno Bulldog]

Thanks Lee we all agree with you.

“When I wrote the column yesterday I sent it off to our lawyers and there were some very, very heavy words that our people, for defamation reasons, took out of the letter."

If it was truthful in the letter, why not publish it?

The most concerning part is this..

The letter, which was obtained by News Corp, was addressed to the Tigers’ head of corporate partnerships, Nathan Russell,

Someone at the Tigers has taken that letter and given it to the media. That's a MAJOR privacy concern for any new potential sponsor.

His money, his decisions, I personally wouldn't give the club a dollar after what has happened being a major sponsor either lol

"I couldn't keep my position after conducting a review on myself and I got booted out, now I'm pulling my money"

Waaaaa

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Bunji Marshall Mathers will respond with a diss track to Lee

 

[Alan79]

He shouldn't have held back.

Honestly don't blame him for pulling the sponsorship. I think that's as close to an uncle nick as the Tigpies were going to get and they've shit on him.

 

[hayes]

Admin are doing well lost 2 million in sponsorship in three months. Not much being said NRL appointment Richardson.

The Tigers need to be merged with another club and the NRL go back down to 16 teams.

They have a good production line of talent but they're a joke of a club.

Apparently they have 13k juniors, Panthers have 11k.

Lee and Pascoe ran that club into such a mess. Lee fed the journos with meals and with leaks so the journos love him. Tigers have removed their leaks. Going to take time for them to recover. We are only emerging now after years of management blunders. They aren't the only club to replace their chairman.

 

[Bad Billy]

Let’s be honest. That fedora wearing cocksmoker is cut hard, and was desperate for a reason to fuck over the Tigers.

And run like a school yard. Fucking hopeless
