Wests Tigers boss Shane Richardson has closed down the barber shop inside the club’s multimillion-dollar training facility at Concord, declaring “we are not in the haircutting business”.
The Tigers’ $75m training base was opened to much fanfare in 2022. While it included all the modern amenities of a state-of-the-art training hub – including gym, theatrette, sauna, steam room, lap pool, ice baths and a sleeping room – one of the biggest drawcards was a barber.
The hairdresser salon was put in place by a previous administration and it is unclear how many times it was actually used.
Richardson has removed it from the club’s headquarters.
“We just want to make a statement,” Richardson said. “We are all about business and that isn’t the haircutting business.
“Players earn enough to get their own haircuts. The bottom line to have a barber shop in a high-performance centre is not really what we wanted to look like as a club.”
Richardson is in the process of selling off the hairdressing equipment.
“We’ve managed to sell a few things like chairs,” he said.
“We’ll put that money back into the junior leagues.
“We’re all about business. That’s what it is about.”
Richardson is unsure what he will do with the space.

I’m thinking Pascoe put the barber shop in for himself 😂

Lol the ‘Barber Shop’ is basically a barber’s chair and a mirror, and of course the occasional barber hired. Most of the girls do their own hair.. and by the looks of it so do the boys 😂😂😂😂Wests Tigers boss Shane Richardson has closed down the barber shop inside the club’s multimillion-dollar training facility at Concord, declaring “we are not in the haircutting business”.

Richo the ultimate warrior. Bides his time then strikes. Absolutely throwing sand in the face of the past administration

Absolute sleeping giants of the NRL. 20+ years of getting in our own way while the opportunity to be great has passed us by.

I would think that the absolute least of any basis for positivity for WT could be based on the responses of 675 people on a survey on the LU website. I mean, we're desperate, but surely not that desperate.

Why would anyone hate the tigers? We're the most inoffensive club in the comp given we're perennially terrible.
Think I fall into this category too… I love to hate this mob 🤷♂️Why would anyone hate the tigers? We're the most inoffensive club in the comp given we're perennially terrible.
