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

[tiger_one]

True but Lidcombe wasn't the regular venue until 1962, prior to that there was only 7 games at Lidcombe the first in 1941.

By the way from 1908 to 1999 Western Suburbs played 246 games at Lidcombe (August 31, 1941 - August 31, 1986) and 345 at Pratten Park (August 24, 1912 - August 18, 1985).

I was going to say "from 1908 to 1999 the Magpies played" but they weren't the Magpies until the late 1920's so corrected it to Western Suburbs.

And before the Wests were Magpies, Wests were referred to as the Cherry Pickers or Fruit Pickers.
Still a great history.
Respect.
I sometimes slip and refer to the Bulldogs as the Berries too.
The Glebe Dirty Reds sound brilliant, but mixed up often with the Drummoyne Rugby club.
And not to forget the Newtown Bluebags, before they became the Jets.
And back in 1908, as a foundation club, the Newcastle Rebels existed before they became the Knights.
Likewise, the Cumberland team of 1908 was later reinvented as the Parramatta Eels.

I originally started this thread of which the site overseers decided to change the name. I was called all sorts of names for suggesting that the NRL needed to seriously consider tearing up the Wests Tigers licence to play 1st grade (paraphrased) and Wests Ashfield only be responsible for entering the Magpies in the NSW Cup because of the club infighting and the impact it was having in respect of on field performances (a threepete of wooden spoons) as well as the savagery of the media. As a long term Magpie supporter (since 1964) Balmain TIGER supporters have been treated like mugs. I will repeat that I have believed from day one that the joint-venture was doomed for failure, and hence zero culture was never going to develop in this divided club. Shame on all Wests Magpie supporters throwing up the Wests Ashfield's 90% ownership. Magpies were dead in the water without the generous offer from Balmain to forge a partnership. This latest Holman Barnes Board fiasco only reiterates that the Joint-venture cannot work, and the NRL need to step in and save the name WESTS TIGERS for the sake of the current generation of supporters. I love the Magpies but I am embarrassed and my support of the great game of Rugby League is slowly slipping away.

Mine also

How many Multi million Dollar organisations are you a controlling Director of?

If Dennis wants to play the part - He needs to look the Part.
He's not a Rock Star now (Never was really), He represents 2 organisations at a Corporate level.

I remember JP getting roasted for turning up to an Away match in smart casual attire
- We've got this rodent turning up to our games looking like a Hobo, Dressed from his favourite Charity.

Now c'mon batboy. What you are saying about Dennis is a little bit naughty.
Didn't your Mother ever tell clothes don't make the man.
It's how much money he's got.

 

[BZN]

You're lucky I part my hair with a wet rag.

Do you really...good on yuh.
And I reckon it's wet from being dipped in JB, and that's why you always smell so nice.

 

[BZN]

😂😂😂

Like 'fair' the Treatment Rick Wayde (The man credited with saving the Magpies) is getting from
Dennis Burgess on the Wests Magpies Board at the moment?
(With not being allowed on the Premises and all)

How would the Wests Magpies not be 'Treated Fairly' in any of the associated Boards?
- They ARE the Boards.

I had a lot of time for Rick Wade until I watched that interview only a few days ago and he was disgusting. I no longer have respect for him, and he can toddle off to the dinosaur enclosure at the circus🎪<<< yes that's the one.

 

[BZN]

I'm on the 'Wests Tigers' side.

Howbout you?

Both Balmain Tigers and Western Suburbs Magpies can get in the bin.

This Q is really old hat by now and it's boring.

 

[BZN]

Dude that’s some delusional shit right there ! Talk about hero complex …..
What the actual f**k are you talking about . You do realise it’s 2025 my guy ? And what you’re advocating for is the destruction of wests tigers ?
You’re like that English skit where they’re 2 nazis in ww2 and one turns to the other and says “are we the baddies “ . Yes bro you’re the baddies !!
Baddies= guys trying to blow up a club . NOT guys who once went for a football team that existed almost 25 years ago .

I've answered this at least 100,000 times, it's now boring.

 

[BZN]

There are no sides.

OK.

 

[BZN]

Easy. Just say you are for the Wests Tigers and denounce the Magpies. Problem solved.

Boring!!!

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Do you really...good on yuh.
And I reckon it's wet from being dipped in JB, and that's why you always smell so nice.

You have a singular wit BZN boom boom.

 

[BZN]

You want to see abusive? Here it is:

If you are even remotely connected to the HBG clown show, please pass on this message to that parasite in particular, Burgess.

The fact that someone was stoned enough to give Dennis Burgess a OAM shows that the medal is about as prestigious as participation trophy in kindergarten. He wasn't even the best musician in own family and his actual music sounds like someone was having their intestines pulled out through their own mouths. I'd rather close my genitals in a DVD case than have to listen to one second of the noise he called music.

He is a shit musician, a shit director, and, as far as I am concerned, a shit person. Kindly [This word has been automatically removed] off and allow Wests Tigers to begin to prosper without his cancerous influence.

Boring!!!

Boring!!!

I wouldn't do it BZN.
The bible says it's a bad idea.........

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

This place has now officially entered the twilight zone.

Demands to denounce the club that still exists in KOE and junior comps. in order to prove allegiance?

Jesus give me strength.

 

[TigerJunior4]

Boring!!!

You’ve got the mind of a six year old.

 

[Lestronge]

You’ve got the mind of a six year old.

He’s 2 weeks behind my guy . Anything you post now won’t get looked at til mid Jan . The guy is loving the attention . It’s weird ..

 

[Red88_Tiger]

I officially denounce Balmain rugby league club
I officially denounce western suburbs

Now spank me with your spoon and baptise me in the name of weststigers

Edit- sounded funnier at the bar 😂

 

[BZN]

I posted that ages ago . I don’t even know what it was in reference to lol
Why do you keep grabbing posts from various time periods and replying as if they’re relevant to whatever you guys are discussing today ?
I haven’t even read through the last 4 or so pages .
I do mean it though . It’s clear as day what your real agenda is . At the very least your mates have been less coy about it than you are . Pretty manipulative IMO.
I’m pretty over this topic and discussing it with you . Your bad faith arguing is repetitive and pretty dishonest .
IMO you either have been influenced by someone and taken down a rabbit hole with this whole magpies thing , or you’ve got dementia , as I’m really struggling to reconcile the bloke I’m talking to now with the old bloke from a year or two ago who went by magpies1964 . Outside of your never ending hate for Cochise , it’s like a different person. And it’s a shame , because that old bloke seemed like a decent enough fella…

Correction... MAGPIES 1963 not 1964.
I'm awfully sorry that I am no longer meeting your expectations but thank you for saying I was decent enough 👿....decent enough 😠....decent enough 😖 ...you've hurt my feelings now 😡🤣
I've sat here at the comp. for about 3 days straight now giving you blokes the respect of a reply.
If you don't appreciate and respect my points of view all you need to do is put me on ignore.
I still haven't finished my replies from last Saturday even, and now I have another 29 waiting.
If you still want to send me posts that's ok, but I will only answer the ones I choose to.

Ain't happening @BZN

Wests Tigers has 25 years of history in its own right. Only a very small minority of today's members/fans are holding onto Wests Magpies or Balmain Tigers allegiance. It is good that there is heritage of two historic clubs for the WT, regardless of politics.

Whether fans call the team Wests or Tigers or play in predominantly black or predominantly orange, they are the Wests Tigers.

The name Wests is huge for the NRL to represent the huge region from the Inner West out to Macarthur and the Tigers would be one of the most popular in any sporting franchise.

So there will be no name change!

Ok.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Denouncing Wests and Balmain is just plain dumb. Why do people have to take it to extremes, that it’s either 100% devotion or disownment. Anyone who supported either club, should have a piece of it with them. But that doesn’t mean WT’s in 2025 aren’t the priority.

If the Bible says in this case, it's a bad idea I certainly won't do it.
