After over a decade of struggling at the bottom of the NRL, the Wests Tigers have finally made changes at the top with CEO Justin Pascoe and chairman Lee Hagipantelis departing. Former Souths boss Shane Richardson and ex-NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell will take over on an interim basis, hoping to lead the Tigers into a new era. However, the departures of Pascoe and Hagipantelis do not fully resolve the club’s issues, including its lack of clear identity, struggling team performance, and ongoing coaching problems. The future direction of the club and the need to establish a strong brand and reputation also remain critical concerns. With a new leadership in place, Wests Tigers fans will be hopeful that this marks the beginning of positive change for the team.
