And perhaps Denny Burgess should refute what he was accused of if in fact it was not true.

"The allegations raised with V'landys included a claim that HBG director Dennis Burgess has told Balmain chairman Danny Stapleton "we're bringing back the Wests Magpies" while at a game this season. "

If the HBG board were all pulling in the same direction after the review the current leadership wouldnt have ousted the former chair and directors. None of us really know what their motives are for the infighting but their is no doubt it is impacting on the effectiveness of their ability to run the club, and as WTs supporters we are all entitled to be concerned about that and question their right to hold such positions.

I think that's a fair call but a few on here are jumping at shadows. The source of this latest drama is a text and some comments from Tony Andreacchio and a story written by Michael Chammas. Chammas is a journo so a reasonable starting position is to distrust him. Andreacchio is a real estate agent and has an axe to grind so there are two reasons to be suspicious of him. I don't know how this will play out but it's too early for doom and gloom.

Minimisation is a common strategy for dealing with feelings of guilt.

No BZN stated in the past that the Magpies had vanguished Balmain. That is apparently the comment from him that I misunderstood.

Yes, I do remember using those words cochise 'the victor and the vanquished' but you're not telling the whole true story.

As I said you seem to get some enjoyment from twisting the words I used to suit your own agenda, and there is a group of people for whom that is common.

This is going back to 2019, so I don't remember my exact words, but it was something along the line of Wests Magpies own 90% of the WT's but to me it seemed like the Magpies were the vanquished party as we had lost our soul. We were now called the West's Tigers, and of course the main emphasis is always on the word Tigers Tigers Tigers, and we played in Tigers colours.
But for some reason, you needed to twist my words and turn that into me saying I wanted the Magpie name back.
I have never said that, and I have no need to defend what I said any further.

But knowing how you operate, i.e. you pm'd me a couple of times a fair while ago and I asked you to not pm me again, but you did, and that shows how you disrespect people, so I'm sure you'll want to kick on and have the last word again, most likely with another nonsense accusation.

No mate, this will be my last reply to you. I have had enough of your dishonest method of communicating and debating.

You are very happy to continually have goes at me while purposefully refusing to tag me probably and provide me with a right of reply to the nonsense you sprout.

I am very confident that most people can see your agenda and mistruths so I will ask you to leave my name out of your posts and I leave you to spread your misinformation as I don't think anyone takes it seriously anyway.

I will finish by stating I am over this Magpie rubbish, just like I am over the Balmain rubbish. I am happy to play in any variation of our colours and for people to refer to us as Tigers, Wests or Wests Tigers because that is who we are.

There is 100% a desire to roll back the recommendations of the review, this is a real issue and not just a media beat up.

The dysfunction of the HBG board highlights why these recommendations are so crucial to allow the Wests Tigers to operate as a modern professional sporting organisation.

I have to force myself to very reluctantly give you a pat on the back cochise as in the past you have criticised back door benny on a couple of occasions, but I must have missed the post where you criticized him for his latest comment about 100,000 Balmain Tigers fans protesting against the HBG board. Can you tell me the number of the post where you said that, as I would like to see what you said.
