1984 The Kresta Cup win is a bonus for the Tigers.  The Cup win has given 2 reasons for Gerard Neesham to smile.

  1. As the Tigers new coach and with just 2 league fixtures completed he has given the club a $25,000 windfall.
  2. Previous winners of the pre-season cup in West Perth and East Fremantle have gone onto bigger and better things in subsequent years.

The players set themselves the task of winning the Kresta Cup when their premiership program was outlined.  40% of the prize money will go to the players in the player’s fund.  Acting captain Steve Goulding who was standing in for captain coach Gerard Neesham, was full of praise for the younger players.
