Anthony Field wants to buy Wests Tigers

[BlackWhiteGold]

Media beat up guys. Was only a hypothetical over a long lunch with Benny, Blocker & Siro.

What it would take for Wiggles star to buy Tigers

I agree on West Tigers!
But I don't like reserve grade not wearing Wests Tigers!
And I think there is too much black on the jerseys. Prefer a colour combo with at least 50/50 black-gold design reflecting a " Joint Venture".

No offence TS but too much black? Really? So, using your thinking, the magpie on the jersey should be as big as the tiger?
These stories are just drivel. If Anthony really said all this then he’s had one smash too many in the big red car. It’s delusional.
Dean Ritchie is a flog just like his DT colleagues. We are all giving this story way too much credibility.

I’m ancient and I don’t have that feeling,100% WT.

Yeah I'm keen to develop south West. Have embraced the magpie.

Just out of curiosity...how much would this club be worth?
I dont think Field would require a lottery win or have to sell his company to buy the joint, hed have enough already.

He also had enough money to pay Balmain's debts before they folded if he was fair dinkum.

This article benefits no one, and particularly not the club. Promoting division is the opposite of what we need

Here we are in our 24th season and someone that is supposedly a Wests Tigers supporter, and one would imagine, someone smart enough to know that what he is dreaming about is a complete impossibility.

As if we don't have enough problems and obstacles holding us back already, this clown comes along and tries to drive a wedge back in to open up old wounds.

Is this really coming from the Blue Wiggle or is this Dorothy the Dinosaur's idea?

I think he his 'vision' is actually the wrong way around.
He needs to realise that if this was to be viable, it should be the Perth Tigers, with a few games played at Leichhardt each year to appease the faithful.
As for Wests, I think they should break away and become the Wests (Pasifika) Magpies, where the SW can embrace their cultural roots but play most of their games out of Campbelltown.
The Tonga/Samoa/Fiji games played at Campbelltown or Penriff each year are awesome! Time to tap in.

We are running last two years in a row with the JV, imagine how bad they'd be individually.

Wests own 90%, Balmain only own 10% because Wests allowed that after paying off their debt, and he thinks Wests will move to Western Australia to allow this, as Daryl Kerrigan would say," Tell him he's dreaming"

 

[mikey]

Oh good, this discussion hasn’t happened in a while.

I think mainly because most have been united in their disillusion with the club.

 

[supercoach]

Just another piece of fluff to push a media company’s bottom line. All it achieves is to stir up the old Tigers vrs Magpie thing and that is the last thing we need.

For a club that has been in the doldrums for over a decade we certainly must be the go to team in the Sydney market place for the media when they want some ratings.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Seems like an overblown story. He’s just shooting the breeze based on hypotheticals. There’s no offer, no plan, no agenda. Moving on…

It’s almost like he is writing the next Wiggles song titled “tell them they’re dreaming”

I think he can sod off to Perth this his shit bus song and “beautiful” orange jersey.

 

[dazza65]

A bit of light reading... fluff. nothing to get up in arms about.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

To all the Balmain supporters of old. I applaud you. They are the Wests Tigers. Yesterday is made of stone. Happy Birthday for this young man.
