Breaking news: HBG takeover

I hope HBG try to re-establish the Magpies as that will be the trigger for the NRL to revoke their license and take control of the club. The NRL will never allow the return of the Magpies or Balmain.

How HBG still operate with the muppets they have is beyond me. Taking Balmain away will remove more than half the fanbase. Good luck trying to fund this club with half its current fan base. There is ZERO economic viability to it... Shocking to think these people see themselves as businessmen and women.
It's not even about taking Balmain away. There are many, many of us who are neither WM or BT fans. We are ONLY Wests Tigers fans, and if Wests Tigers cease to be, I have absolutely no interest in following a team that hasn't existed for more than quarter of a century in the NRL, or the one that was my least favourite prior to Super League. My 4 piddly memberships and 2 or 3 merchandise purchases a year won't make much if a difference, but I don't think I'll be the only one.
 
In today’s Daily Telegraph there is an article and explanation of the situation. As the article is the usual chatter there was a section of question with answer of the current situation and I found this very disturbing (I’ll insert a snap shot from the article). This article is confirming my suspicions as stated in my earlier post that self sabotage has been going on for a while and it looks like 2030 is the year for these muppets to ramp up their plan to ditch the Tigers brand. Does anyone know the whole (legal) truth about this “Heritage Deed Prohibition till 2030”?

We need to complain to the NRL so they are aware of our distaste.

Prompt:

Draft a formal request to the NRL asking them to review the Holman Barnes Group’s licence following their removal of the newly appointed independent Wests Tigers board. Emphasise that the decision appears self interested, conflicts with good governance standards, and does not reflect the best interests of the Wests Tigers, the NRL, its fans, or the long term stability of the club. The tone should be firm, factual, and centred on governance integrity and stakeholder impact.
 
If you want the Wests Magpies or the Balmain Tigers to return you are a knob.
Totally agree champ, they are history. The Tigers last won a comp in 1969, and were poo from 91 onwards and the magpies well let's not go there. Both should be wiped out fully, I would even scrap Leichardt and Campbell Town and just build a new stadium and have one home, let the losers who want to live in the past stay there and watch re runs of past floggings.

The club won’t make 2030

100%

If you attack either, you attack the Wests Tigers. You attack Benji, Richo and everything we are trying to do here.

We are a merger of two teams, our colours are Orange Black and White and anyone attacking our Jersey, the Balmain Philips Jersey or the Victa Magpies Jersey is against us and deserves a knuckle sandwich.

Get behind us or get lost.
 
What do you reckon we should do with these HBG crackpots mikey, my solution is to blindfold them all and let them loose on the Ukraine front.
I'd love to do that if they really don't want the Wests tigers to succeed. Neither side of the joint venture wanted their club to disappear but what's done is done. I embraced that and to see it all undone because of selfish Cro-Magnons trying to resurrect the past is just wrong. There must be a way for the NRL or members to resolve this and soon before another year is lost.
 
Really? Stupid…. or totally accurate?
Balmain won’t be back and I’m ok with that but getting very sick of Wests dinosaurs ( the same ones that got them in that predicament in the first place) trying to rewrite the past and forget why they’re even here at all.
OK, if it was a serious comment, I'll respond in good faith. Maybe there are a few Magpie diehards such as Burgess who want the Magpies back in the NRL. They are delusional. In my view there is no way the NRL will allow that to happen so they are flogging a dead horse.
I know quite a few former Magpie supporters who now follow WT. Not one of them think the Magpies should be back in the NRL. I read the comments of plenty of former Magpie supporters on this forum and (perhaps) with the exception of one or two they are not pushing for the return of the Magpies either.
For myself, I am in lockstep with WT supporters. I DO NOT want the Magpies to return to the NRL. I am more than happy for the KOE side to be branded WT. I like the colours of yellow, black and white. I like the new jerseys but don't love the yellow one but that's just around personal preferences and not because it's "too Balmain".
So when you're throwing around terms like "Magpie dinosaurs"" just think about who you're aiming the term at.
