Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Lots of questions have been asked about reserve grade, and where the Balmain Tigers have gone.
If you think about things that have been happening ever since the amalgamation.
The West side of things have been pushing towards the return of WEST MAGPIES.
And they are getting closer to their main goal.
Which is to totally eliminate the Tiger,
And replace it with the Magpie.

I could believe that if they had of moved to Campbo fulltime, built the COE there, always played in mainly black jerseys and kicked off all Balmain reps from the board. But they havnt.

What do you see happening that's made you think the way you do ?
 
Interesting thing about Moses I member sheens saying in a recent interview. The topic of halves got brought up and sheens mentioned parra cannot kick on to win the GF because of their halves. (something like that)

Seems odd now he willing to throw big money to him.

Curious to know what their 2-3 year strategy is with the halves.

I think the Moses to Tigers is Manager and Paper Talk / Click Bait to get Parra to panic and pay Mitch even more $$$.

Much like Gould - show them a left hit them with a right.

Forget Gould, we have his predecessor.

Not Genius - Sheenius!

Not rubbish at all.
look at our clubs record of purchasing players that were closer to 30 than 20 and you will find, the service we have received has not been all that great, We basically got Benji out of school and a heap of our Stars started with our club when they were under 25.

Your statement was Moses is too old which is rubbish. He isn’t.

I have no issue getting kids if they are up to it come through. We look to be heading that way but are a few years (probably 3-4yrs) off those kids being NRL ready especially in the halves.

If we want to have a crack at winning games over the next 3yrs Moses is the best on the market that could give us that + still have another contract in him afterwards.

I hope all of the talk is just a diversion. Sounds pretty insane to attempt to bring Moses back. He’s not that great, would be asking for a lot of money and left the club in a poor fashion when he was last here. It is Sheens though, I guess..

Updated predicted WT starting lineup 2023

1.Staines

2.Tupou

3.Naden

4.AJ/TT
( out of this group, whoever can hold the ball the longest )
5.Nofo/T'oa

6.AD

7.Welsby

8.Leniu/Pole

9.Api

10.Klemmer/Stef

11.Papi

12.Blore

13.Jacko

14. Brooks

17.Joffa

Powerful, dominating forwards, big reasonably speedy backs, massive options in halves. Top 4.

I'm at least confident that will be our front row rotation. Is there any better?

Just my observations over the years, nearly 77 now, but still find it hard to understand how most tiger supporters immediately accepted the new identity of the WestTigers, but the West Magpies where never so happy to Greet the Tiger side of things.
The committee at our club has always been in the control of WEST.
And as we all now know the Balmain name has always been looked down on by West supporters.

And now we find one side of the joint venture
( BALMAIN ) is now totally broke, from what we have been told.
And I cannot see how the NRL can keep Western Suburbs from totally taking full control when they are the only ones putting money into the team.

I think the younger WTs fans see Benji & Robbie as WTs history now.
