Breaking news: HBG takeover

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Do you really think anyone else gives a damn bar us?
I think the Rugby League world has surely reached saturation with Wests Tigers fatigue by now.
Drama after drama after scandal after spoon after drama….it never stops.

No but I didn't see any of the comments just hope they were really laying the boot in, had a gut full of these Sasquacth brains, you.

 

[upthetigers]

Cheer up lads, with the concussions and inevitable lawsuits the NRL won't be around for much longer anyway.

 

[cochise]

I think they just own the license . The actual IP is owned by the clubs . Which is why the Perth bears is basically the bears old logo . It’s thier IP. Not the nrls

No, it's the NRLs IP, same issue occurred during super league and the arl stopped super league clubs from using their logos.

lol read this thread Jolls, most reckon they’re leaving …

Yes, there is a bit of doom and gloom - but it is to be expected given the events of this afternoon. There will always be those that will stick with it; hard times make the end result more worthwhile. Miserable while we are going through it but we come through it eventually. This is just another obstacle on the road that needs to be dealt with.

People survived world wars, potato famines and the depression. I think we can get through a couple of lean years supporting a sports team!

Fun fact - The duration of Wests Tigers shiteness now equals both world wars and the potato famine combined.

Lol I have a theory that HBG makes most of its money staying in the media.

It's fair if they wanna sack but the reasoning is quite poor.

PRepare for lots of negative articles, more clicks ,more media coverage, lots of PR.

They're in the business of staying relevant, not in the business of winning games. They aren't chasing excellence, they're just chasing quick bucks to make a profit and stay relevant in the media.

Hopefully my theory is wrong.

I have a theory the NRL make most of their money by us being a laughing stock

I mean what would 360, 100% Footy, Matty Johns, Triple MMM, Buzz, Richie, Pubehead Weidler er=tc etc talk about if there were no WTs

I think the only way is for the NRL to step in.
Ashfield wont sell, they love their blazers too much......gives them an ego and power trip like a Facebook Local community Group moderator

Im quite disgusted these amateurs are operating under the names of two of our former clubs greats, one of which presented me with the only footy trophy I got as a kid

Great theory - and coming from a long term Magpies supporter I can understand the logic!

There has NEVER been ambition from the WSDRLFC to be a genuine contender - but the participation trophy and perks of corporate boxes etc are what Dennis & his debenture cronies crave!

MY theory is that a few debenture holders are sodomising the joint-venture for their own clout and self-interest!

Balmain remained ambitious - while the Magpies shat the bed - moved house and continued to decline!

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

You really have no idea eh?
Easts Tiges have joined with Perth

Perth who is not in the comp for another year.

East tigers who richo did the firehawks bid for
if the nrl take the Tigers from the club that is nrl ip they can hand it to east's brisbane tigers and away they go.

Dream on
NRL are going to sabotage Perth to help us out? LOL
Perth would sue them to bankruptcy

As a Balmain RLFC member I voted for the JV in 1999 - BUT I would now take Parra over these pricks in retrospect!

Parramatta Tigers, has a ring to it.

That would have been a bigger take over than the Dragons.

Richo will be gone!

He made it clear that the Board governance issues needed to be resolved or he would not have extended - and I can't see him being willing to deal with Burgess - Paton and this clown-show NOW!

Dennis Fitgerald made a run of Parra Tigers t-shirts - before getting rejected!

It was from memory his arrogance that got the proposal rejected.

Fitzgerald arrogant? No way.
