Tigers “Confident” in signing Nofo. Not keen on Mansour. Could be a smoke screen. Like to think its true

That inference with Paps annoys me, they always fail to mention that he was behind Teddy at the time, in hindsight, if they knew what Teddy was going to do, they would have kept Paps for sure?

From what I can understand of the situation, they wouldn’t have had a snowflakes chance in hell of keeping Paps or anyone else. Paps left for the same reason Teddy and JAC did.

Well from what I understand they didn’t think much about paps (and offered him very little) because they had Teddy, why they didn’t realise Teddy didn’t want to be here is beyond me, he already agreed to go to the Raiders till Robbie talked him out of it.

I think the same applied to JAC, they just didn’t rate him.

Our retention and identification was and has been poor for a long time, maybe until they brought Hartigan in. Thankfully the tide seems to be turning.

To be honest at that point there weren’t many people that rated Paps, Melbourne offered him to every club about 2 years agao and every club said no.

Papenhuyzen was always going to be a star. His loss followed on from that of Koroibete and JAC so there is a pattern of loss of x factor players all while retaining Nofoaluma. Diabolical retention decisions. Fortunately, our new team appear to have turned this around.

Can you show where you said that at the time he left?

Actually it is determined by people like you and i,it is just we are supposed to only make a decision on the evidence presented during the trial and not what the media report.

I have lived in Balmain for the last 3 years after spending my life in the western suburbs.People who say that there no Wests Tigers supporters in the area are completely wrong.All my neighbours follow the Tigers and go regularly to games.On game day at Leichhardt ,Darling St is lined with people and all the pubs are packed.Its a great atmosphere and before i moved here i wouldnt have believed it.To the disbelievers try it some time and you will be surprised.

Yep , it extends all the way into Ryde , and as far down as west Ryde , and Strathfield . That whole area is wests tigers . About 10 years ago , it became a “upper class hipster , bogan” thing to go to Leichhardt and watch the footy . When I lived in the area just after this , the love for the tigers was infectious , and you could go to any pub , in gladesville , Ryde , west Ryde , concord , and realise they’re tigers areas .
To me it’s like if Newtown were an NRL club , and wasn’t just a hipster thing , but had real money behind it .

It extends all the way to Spurway Street Ermington - All WT supporters except for a few idiots that think they are in the Parramatta area because they pay their rates to that council.

It’s area historically goes as far as Rydalmere station, there was an Ermington-Rydalmere JRL.

As far as the name of the new club goes, it is not surprising it is being referred to as Balmain Leagues in it’s initial stages, as all legal action, agreements and negotiations for so many years were from Balmain Leagues, and the litigation centered on that club returning to it’s original sight. I think the naming issue is a non issue for Wests Ashfield at the moment, they will be just glad it’s going ahead.

Yeah annoying but I’m OK if I know its a site thing and not some weird virus or malware. (both my malwarebytes and McAfee scan clean).

What do you mean by realistic value?

Able to be readily traded for something of same value.
