Wests Tigers Chairman Lee Hagipantelis has revealed the club’s review of the 2021 season is still ongoing with no time frame as to when it will be completed or what changes will be recommended.
The Tigers, who again failed to qualify for the finals for the tenth season in a row, launched an internal review into the club at the completion of their season.
Hagipantelis, who recently stated he was hoping to have some results by the end of this week said the club has an obligation to its fans to make sure the review is done in a comprehensive manner.
With the future of club coach Michael Maguire resting on the results of the review, the Chairman says they’ll “take as much time as it needs”.
“The review continues, the club is just going to take as much time as it needs to finalise the process.” Hagipantelis said on Breakfast with Vossy on 1170 SEN.
“As I said last week, it’s no different to the review that was undertaken last year. I appreciate the amount of media and community interest. (no closed quote)
“The club is a big brand, it’s enormously popular with 400,000 people that identify themselves as fans of the club so we have an enormous obligation to undertake such a review and to make sure the club looks very closely at itself. (no closed quote)
“The club will just simply take as much time as it needs to get through the process.”
The Wests Tigers under the coaching of Maguire finished 13th on the ladder with just eight victories this season.
It is believed Penrith assistant Cameron Ciraldo is leading the race for the club’s top role if the review finds that Maguire should be moved on.
