So? They are not a JV.

That's because they aren't!

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...

I've moved on but it seems that the Magpie side of JV have not (HBG) . It is what it is. Balmain were mismanaged and as a result ended up as minor party to JV (thanks o magpies bailing them out).

I agree with you hammer. Ideally all grades should have one team WEST TIGERS. Whilst we play Magpies and Balmain in the some of the lower grades, this disparity will continue.

The real test will be this season. With his new roster, he will be considered a failure if we do not make the eight or top 10.

This is what irks all the magpie supporters, including HBG that we are called the Tigers. Whilst that continues the connection with Balmain will remain. No one refers to our team as Wests. Most clubs only refer to their logo, ie the roosters, the dolphins, the broncos etc.

Balmain are West TIGERS ! The emblem is all that matters. The most cherished in sports.

All this deal has done is ensure Benji is financially safe for the next 5 years, irrespective of results.

I wonder if HBG are smart enough to have performance KPI clauses in the contract to minimise any payout?

Need to enlarge all doors at COE so that his head will fit through.

Just confirms the laughing stock WT are in the NRL community.

If Tigers cease to exist, I would follow my second team, Easts ( legacy of Artie going there in 1971).

If things are not sorted out before season starts and we lose Luai and/or Bulla we should boycott home games at Campo and Leichhardt. That's where it hurts these mongrels running HBG.

I'm with you Dazza. been following the tigers for 58 years and now have lost interest in the whole deal. If the club does'nt care , why should the fans?
