There you go the penny has dropped in head office that once the Tigers hit there straps the small suburban grounds just do not cut it …. Thousands of fans being locked out now the club asking supporters on the hills At Campbelltown to stand so they can get a thousand extra in 😂😂😂the small mindset that this club exhibits is mind blowing this was always going to happen but living in yesteryear has always been the trait of this club … get to modern stadiums that all can enjoy .
get a membership guarantees a seat
that is what the club wants more members.
Want to guarantee a seat at the game become a member
Latcham Robinson was, by profession, a medical doctor — but he became best known for his extensive work as a sports administrator in Sydney.
His primary career
- Medical practitioner (doctor)
- Worked in Sydney in the early–mid 20th century
- Built a respected career in medicine before and alongside his sporting roles
His major “second career” (where he became influential)
He was heavily involved in sports governance, including:
- Trustee of the Sydney Cricket Ground
- Administrator linked to rugby league venues like Leichhardt Oval
- Contributor to broader NSW sporting administration
In practical terms, this meant:
- Overseeing stadium operations and development
- Helping manage major sporting events
- Influencing how key venues were run and improved
Simple way to think about it
- Day job: Doctor
- Legacy: One of the key behind-the-scenes figures shaping Sydney’s major sporting venues
That’s why his name appears on stands — not for playing, but for building and running the infrastructure of sport in Sydney.
Incorrect
His name was Norman "Latcham" Robinson
He was part of 1924 winning Balmain team as a player.
Robinson had three separate coaching spells with the Balmain club. He coached the Balmain in 1930, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1954, 1955 and 1956 before retiring.
He was coach of New South Wales in 1948. He was manager of the Australian team in 1957 world cup] He was appointed coach of the Australiqn team for the 1958 Ashes series against Great Britain.
He was not a doctor
When it comes to these jerseys I don’t like either tbh… not a fan of the tiger emblem either. But we are winning football games and are equal 1st on the ladder. Home grounds are getting sorted with seating and in the meantime commbank works aswell. Finals might be a different story though. It’s been awhile ‼️

I think finals when we make the top 4 have to be at commbank
It’s not an ‘away’ jersey. It’s the ‘alternate’ jersey. Neither jersey is a ‘home’ or ‘away’ jersey.I have soft spot for the suburban grounds.
What I cannot fathom to this day is the other small minded fact that they made us wear the “away” jersey at Campbelltown… what because it is slightly more western suburbs.
We are Wests Tigers.
Let’s ALL get used to it… HBG included.

Maybe it had something to do with Newcastle possibly using their orange and blue Jersey as an away Jersey and therefore a possible clash of colours which did not eventuate???
We actually thought the colouring (Black) looked brown over the TV did anybody else notice this , this could be the material it’s made of. Comment was that looks like the chocolate soldiers of old colouring.
@jedi-tiger If the Tigers make the top four it will be at Accor not enough seats at Commbank!
I was about to say the same. 50K, 60K or 70K if we make the top 4. 30K seats at Western Sydney Stadium won’t be enough. It has to be at Stadium Australia.@jedi-tiger If the Tigers make the top four it will be at Accor not enough seats at Commbank!

i thought the same thing for the eels game… very much looked like Hawthorn colours. But watching Sunday didn’t look as bad though.We actually thought the colouring (Black) looked brown over the TV did anybody else notice this , this could be the material it’s made of.

I agree with you and @mike I dont think commbanknis enough.
if we play the dogs or souths we probably get 50k easy to a semi final
Accor it is, I was not sure what deal the club/ nrl might have with commbank. Accor would make sense

I thinknyou were on the money Joel, if they play in the white again at CSS it is clear it is a hbg magpie thing to play in white at CSS
some at hbg never liked the gold jersey anyway, suspect rucho came in strife due to some of that with hbg

Yep, and we cannot, at any cost, afford to have a Magpie jersey exclusive to CSS and a Tiger jersey for Leichhardt. That will just stir up division.

The Brisbane Ferrari’s will be wearing their white so we should wear the gold jersey one would think.
