This episode AJ is joined by Rhys Sullivan to explode the flaws that the West Tigers football club have gone through in the last decade to see how we’ve gotten to the mess that the club is in at the moment. We look at the problems, attempted solutions that turned the club further backwards as well as the current mess the club is engulfed in. Enjoy the bumpy ride through TigerTown. I must advise a few technical issues on this one with some bad audio connection on Rhys’ end.

AJ is joined by Rhys Sullivan (well for half of the program) and discuss the crazy filled Cronulla Sharks decade. From the supplements saga to a self reported Salary Cap breach, this had it all.
