Mate seriously, give it a rest.
Your playbook is act like a goofy nice guy, wait for Joel or Cochise to post, attack them and then clutch your pearls when they respond.

No one is advocating for Balmain to come back. You and a few other hypocrites just love to moan about some perceived bias against the Magpies. Everyone wants to respect the past and move on!
Having you on ignore still shows that you have posted and makes it hard to read the thread when you respond by constantly dribbling.

Don't disagree with this but WA only has had majority control of football clubs going back to 1955 since 2019 with HBG.

Obviously a new structure certain issues have come to light which probably weren't foreseen in 2019.

The movement isn't a problem, it's the process.

Can you please elaborate ? Because I’ve been accused of this being a Balmain tigers Trojan horse, which couldn’t be further from the truth .
 
Why are you replying to a post that’s a week old?

Also I’m pretty sure Hewarth are overseeing the development. They had a DA approved for a 12-story mixed use development but had delayed the development.
 
Just re the constant accusations of Balmain bias, I was a 6 year old when I went to my first game (I believe I had been an Eel or Canterbury fan before, vague memories of a bulldogs football at home - being too young to know the difference) and Balmain won. It wasn’t until late 1988 that I went to another game with my father (first time at Leichhardt) and started collecting the footy cards etc. So, my Balmain years are maybe 10 years. I voted for the merger, was there for the first trial and the first game and have been just as rusted on as I ever was with Balmain, in fact, maybe more as I feel a fatherly kind of love the Wests Tigers. This is evident in the hundreds of hours I give each year planning, recording, producing and posting the podcast, as well managing our website/facebook etc etc.

In the 25 years that I’ve been a Wests Tiger I’ve been married, divorced, married again, raised two kids, helped with the final years of fathering two step children who lost their dad to a heart attack, travelled almost around the world, had surgery and health issues and had a couple of career changes.

Wests Tigers is a big, big part of my life and while I have fond memories (and really painful ones too) of Balmain, the club in my my mind has passed away and I just want us all to have something we can share in being immensely proud of and a club that will outlive all of us.

Well put Joel. We all have a Rugby League supporters history, and we all have a story to tell. Our collective wish is at the end of the day we are all doing the same dance and singing the same Wests Tigers tune. Due to efforts and time investment such as yours we, as supporters can now see some light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks mate.
 
Yep there are a few on here that seem to think any shot at HBG is because we must have been Balmain supporters.

I’m an old Magpies supporter but all I want is the very best for my team of the last 25 years which is Wests Tigers.

Let’s get on with 25 and stop baiting people on the Balmain V Wests thing. It’s very stale.

Feel free to troll away if you like but I’ve said my piece.

Up the mighty Wests Tigers!
 
Oh, I agree BZN, you’ve not turned this into a Wests Magpies v Balmain Tigers thing. That’s just in your mind. 😊
You’ve turned this into a Wests Magpies v Wests Tigers thing. Which as you point out is really only you and a few of your mates. So I’m begging to think that in reality you’re actually a Balmain Tigers die hard trying to tarnish the magpies legacy. Even your name seems to reflect your true allegiance B…….N! 🙃
 
Wow. You really are delusional. Joel wrote a post speaking directly about focusing on Wests Tigers and not the foundation clubs but you only read Magpies. If this place is so bad, go to the Magpie forums ( that you spoke about recruiting people to bring back and help you here) and just stay there. You are not providing any polite debate, you are just harrassing other members then acting like the victim.
