Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

[Magpie_Magic]

Its not even about Balmain or Wests.

It's about what the WT look like who controls them/owns them.

G'day Lestronge...so you have admitted there is currently just as much destabilization coming from the Balmain side as there is from the West's side and I concur mate.
From memory you are the 1st person from the Balmain side of our JV to be brave enough to come on to a WTF which you know to be 99% dominated by olde Balmain fans and admit that, so well done 👍.

Balmain don't own shit, they don't even run the juniors,
It's controlled by the Magpies, they need to get it
together for the sake of WT — but you & MM are either
2 preciously stuck in your ways or deluded 2 see it.

oh dear, the poor old darls would probably end up hanging out in the wrong food court. 🤣

Our brand cannot be altered, and that should have been general knowledge for many years.
I've known it for a few years, and I even said that in a post some time ago.
So, in reality this kerfuffle is a smoke screen with a lot of absolute bs and unsubstantiated very negative comments being bandied about to make the West's side of our JV look bad.
And I wonder why this is happening 🤔?
And I also wonder why the current situation is being led by 💯olde Balmain followers.
So, are we being led OR led astray by the chief head kicker and his partner at the forefront of all this.
I don't believe they are doing this for the betterment of both sides of our JV.

Well, you’d be wrong.

I repeat. This is not about Balmain or Wests. Its about a few people who only think about themselves. Their life. Not sparing a fleeting moment for the fans. The backbone of the club. All they want is the wish bone. Their life. Cry babies they are.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Needs improvement, but there last statement was 2 weeks ago and the WT licence has been renewed.

The reviews recommendations are non binding and shouldn't be used as a lever or threat under any circumstances.

That’s a convenient statement.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

That’s a convenient statement.

Elaborate?

 

[Kaito]

You know I got love 4 you @Magpie_Magic 🤝

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

You for some reason feel a need to defend Cochise even though you said he was able to defend himself.
Cochise has admitted in a post that prior to him being sacked from a Mod. position he wasn't liked on here.
He also admitted he wasn't suitable for the position of Mod.

It seems the media got their wish. They love it when we squabble. Their fluff worked. Without us fighting amongst ourselves they have no chance.

 

[PrattenParkMagpie]

Thank you though for being respectful enough to use the correct name of Our Club being Wests Tigers.
Ps... the messages have hit a new record of 75 and I am trying my best to get up to date, but it's gunna take a while.

There you go with the name again, so what if some miss the "s" occasionally, it may be incorrect but really it's not a major concern to most.

You also have a go at people using the term "Tigers" without the "Wests", so I will ask you this how do you refer to the Melbourne Storm, solely as Melbourne Storm or do you use the reference of Melbourne or simply the Storm occasionally, how about Penrith, are they just Penrith, the Panthers or the Penrith Panthers, how about the Eels and the other 13 clubs, how do you refer to them?


BTW if you didn't waste time with some of the long winded drivel posts like today's "good morning" post as an example and just answered some of the questions you are asked more directly you might catch up a bit faster.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Exhibit A.

I saw a recent statement regarding HBG and the Magpies returning. There was no quote but the content was along the lines of (we are not interested in bringing back the magpies, this current issue is about reviewing the West Tigers currently as a whole).

Are HBG conducting their own review of the club?

Needaname, I guess you know just as well as I do that you just can't believe everything you read.
I do believe though that all these rumours are put about by people that are hostile to the Magpies
and want to strip away any control the Magpies have left.

A stack of posts have been removed. Keep it civil.

FTR: I have no allegiance to either foundation club, and was, in fact a panthers fan up until the super league rubbish, which lost RL a bunch of fans.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

How can 2 or 3 people decide for Us? That they know what's best. For us. All those sponsorship deals. All that money. And still not happy.

Suzie - do you ever regret the change of clubs? I gotta say. Proud you are with us!!!

@AmericanHistoryX Thanks 🥰

Nope. Not once. I've been WT since 2002, I think. Just before Tim and Royce came over. When Robbie Beckett and Gray Viane were playing for us. Before Scott Sattler came across, although I did go to the Panthers GF celebration in my WT jersey, just to welcome him to WT the next season! 🤭

Mate, anybody impartial 2 all of this would think you're
writing some stuff you do on purpose to agitate...

particularly when certain members ask you straight
forward questions — you never reply back, only resort
to bringing up strawmans & posts from months ago
(before the mood shifted). You're being irresponsible

The Kea partnership with Balmain wouldn’t even last 12 months before all the games reverted to NZ in a brand new stadium they will have in Christchurch opening next season…

if there is any truth to this rumour .., than Balmain wants to kamikaze themselves even more than the two at Wests do

After Terry Lamb left?

What a bunch of self centred fxxxwits they are

It doesn't matter what 99.9999999% off the followers of this club thinks it just matters what their small minded brains can get to satisfy themselves

The NRL needs to stop in and sell the club to a private group that signs on stating that they will always play the club as the wests tigers and the Balmain and wests boards and go and find another organisation to try and screw over
