Vlandys Kills Off Wests

For some older people Tigers still defaults to Balmain. But don't worry those insensitive people will eventually die and it will be less and less of an issue.

As will the folk with nothing better to do than take issue with it when it does happen...

It's not like it hasn't been happening forever - Rabs used to call us the Magpies all the time...
Which has zero relationship...
At least Balmain were also Tigers

You mean like when Phil Gould on his podcast last year started waxing lyrical about Balmain winning the 2005 premiership. 🥴🥴🥴

Do you and the army have different forms of media that you all have to study each week to make sure there's no slip up - And you all report back to your leader weekly?

How does it work I wonder...
 
It is a non issue as we know we are Wests Tigers the rest of the competition knows who we are and whilst we may have come from the different sides of the merger, my team is the Wests Tigers.

Lets not forget it is the NRL leadership, thus you can expect mistakes. They won't apologise either.
V'landys - Balmain , Annesley - Western Suburbs, incompetents at its best as you only have to remember 16 teams this year and 17 next year.

Remember we had the former NRL Chair John Grant call Manly the Seagulls and Cronulla Hawks...

Fish rots at the head

We take turns. This week it's my turn to respond to the most ridiculous comments. So I've responded.

Twenty two years on from the joint venture and we have the Chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission calling our club, Balmain.

On Foxtel this morning -
“I thank Manly greatly for diverting the headline from the Balmain situation” - Peter V’landys.

As if it’s not enough to hear blanket “Tigers” references with rarely a solitary “Wests” thrown in to lighten the load - now we have the highest ranking league official in the land kicking my football heritage into the gutter.

It’s been 22 years for f**ks sake

Can not believe he said that... thats a sackable offense. How can he not know that Balmain almost dont exist anymore... he obviously doesnt know or doesnt care. It is just rude

Wazza Smith does it a lot... Move on

Why are we the only club that have a split down the middle, we have two reserve grade teams, ??? Why, because some people within our club could not accept the amalgamation. It will be 23 years next year, isnt it time the whole club was. The West's Tiger's. One team each grade.

Nah, just little old me reacting to stuff I hear ... I do have a feverish 24/7 work ethic however.

Not sure why it bothers you so batboy?
We’re all Wests supporters here so wouldn't it be more prudent to show tacit respect to a fellow fans gripe even if that issue doesn't concern you personally?

You know, its the kind of human decency stuff that helps build successful teams ... 🤔

We haven't had two reserve grade teams for years.
We have two junior rep pathways (other teams also have multiple teams), which doubles our opportunities to nurture and develop talent. Seems a no-brainer to me.

23 Years and still running....
never gets old.
He's an old bloke who made a slip of the tounge...

Shouldn't you be more concerned with why he's talking about us yesterday?
Y'know - With your deep love for Wests Tigers and all...

Give the guy a break, he tipped us the win the comp a while back.

What about Peter Beattie, forget about everywhere that's in Queensland, he reckons Barcelona is in Newcastle.
