Hypothetically, when Balmain Leagues Club is up and running and profitable. If they repay their debt to Wests Ashfield, I wonder if the governance of Wests Tigers will be returned to the way it was originally.

Probably not , I can’t see that happening as Balmain don’t own the site and who would own the actual leagues club there

In the press article, it refers to a new Wests Tigers Club.

For some reason I have a memory of all the Balmain ownership/interest in the site was transferred to wests Ashfield as part of the continuing partnership (debt wiped)

The Holman Barnes Group (Wests Ashfield) will have control of the Leagues Club that is built there as part of the amalgamation of Wests Ashfield and the Balmain Leagues Club.

The new Wests Tigers Club.

I hope they do something constructive with it other than turn it into yet another pokies den.

For any youngsters viewing:

Australians spending $10-12b a year on pokies alone.

They are designed to only give some of this back, but speaking to my gambling expert friends, this can happen tonight or anytime, even years from today.

So if you are going to play, gamble with a friend, limit your total and expect to lose it all.

I'm a Wests Tigers supporter.

Sorry I don’t get on the forum too frequently, am I missing something here?

Not missing anything of worth.

Some members still bicker way to much about the pre merger allegiances.

We should support anything that makes our Tiger stronger.

HBG will own the club - whether they brand it as WT Leagues club is an unknown. WT governance is a seperate issue altogether given there is now a standalone board.

Great news for wests tigers

Wests Magpies would not have survived it we didn’t merge with Balmain Tigers , the area would have been gobbled up by the Bulldogs

Yep...

and our aussie machines pay out less as a percentage. instead of sheering the sheep, we basically slaughter them and send them to the butchers.


The people I feel really sorry for are the spouses and kids of the Gamblers. Yes the Gamblers ruin themselves, but it's those families who move from house -> Toyota Tarago that I really feel for.
