I understand where you are coming from FP. My desire is to have one tem the Wests Tigers. The junior competitions in the different areas could continue with their teams being called the WT. The teams in inner west have Tiger emblem on the chest with Magpies on back of collar and sleeves. Teams playing in the Macarthur area having the Magpie on the chest and Tigers on back of collar and sleeves. This would do away with the confusion of different names and rivarily for the the players striving to play in NRL WT.

The bloke is a human wrecking ball.
Rick Wayde has done so much more for the clubs (Western Suburbs & Wests Tigers) than Dennis could in 10 lifetimes. I'll never forgive Dennis, Julie & Co for the way they treated Rick, a man with more integrity in his little toe than all the remaining bozos on the board put together.
Dennis been way more destructive than anyone sitting on a Western Suburbs board since the pre Bernasconi days, when mismanagement (financial and on field) saw the leagues first "Millionaires" become a rabble of "paupers"in a decade.
Dennis can't claim any credit for the clubs (Wests Tigers) financial turn around nor for the ongoing success of the "money printing monolith" of a growing vertically integrated enterprise that is Wests Ashfield & it's affiliate clubs and growing property portfolio.

I couldn't get sound or any other context on this video, but looking at it the headline, blaming a clubs relegation for the fire could easily have been "Fed up Wests Tigers fans finally lose their shit!".

No amount of "staying together" is going to help Mexico beat the USA in a war.
At some point competent leaders are required.
Every time somebody brings up fact based arguments against our owners, HBG supporters just totally abandon the argument.
They haven’t delivered sustained success in their history as owners. Whether that’s financial or incompetence or both I don’t know but it’s a fact.
BTW I have changed my user name today because it had Balmain roots and I’ve had it up to here with this crap. We are WESTS TIGERS and we have been since the Sydney Olympics.
It’s high time everyone focuses on winning.

They blame Balmain for the division, even though they've owned a majority of the club for a decade.

Another irrelevant side issue in all this to distract.
Fans are tired of the incompetence plain and simple and want people to be accountable.
The one's that don't support the dissolution of the debenture system seem to know that these guys would get the arse after the first vote. Mind boggling that based on some weird allegiances they're happy to watch the club burn as long as they have the Magpie men in charge.
I bet there's far more capable Magpie men out there that would do a better job but they can't express a vision to the fans and we can't vote them in because of the debenture system.
These guys have held us back for over a decade. Get them out!

play in a black and white wests tigers jersey for nsw cup and play as wests tigers not western suburbs magpies
I appreciate your views, mate, but I am a team-first person. As for the word traitor, this implies treason, probably not a word I would use in this matter.
As for going into battle, there is a line of command in the infantry and I never questioned my platoon commander's directions within a contact; you are a team, all focusing on the one thing. Right or wrong to do otherwise would be defined as a traitor.

You suggested the same should be in the constitution of WT - it was in the original constitution that both foundation clubs would have their own seperate identity in the competition below NRL. No one was jumping up and down when Balmain was fielding a side in reserve grade. We reverted to Wests Tigers for one season in 2013 as i suspect Balmain were unable to field a side but reverted back to Wests Magpies in 2014 as Balmain were no longer financial.
And before anyone starts going off i am just pointing out the history of the decision.

Melbourne choose not to have a team called Melbourne Storm in NSW Cup.
So? They are not a JV.

I have asked twice now and been met with silence.
When they cite 90% HBG ownership, and say they have a "right" to do whatever they want, I ask does the government own anything even though they are on the title?
We talk a lot about their "rights" but what about their responsibilities? Who do they serve and if the people they serve are not happy, what recourse do they have?
HBG has no "beneficial owners". If they sold everything today, not one debenture holder would receive one cent. These people aren't owners, they are a power clique.

Having the rest of the first grade squad in reggies when Wests v Balmain meant you had team mates playing against one another....thats whats stupid
