I used to think my father was joking about gout until i had it for the first time when i was 31 years old.I have since had it three times more in the last 40 years and i hope to die the day before it tries to happen again.I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
You have a massive problem accepting reality,BOTH Balmain and the Magpies are DEAD and will stay DEAD as clubs despite you chanting your mantra over the corpse of one of them while kicking the crap out of the other.
I honestly feel very sad and sorry for you because you can't let go and you are...
That is undoubtedly one of the many reasons why RU in Australia is on it's last legs,unfortunately it has always been administered very poorly and believes it is above criticism and it's "status" will prevent it's demise.
I honestly doubt if Latrell's attitude would be well received by our coaching staff and don't believe it is one that should be encouraged at our club.The few souffs supporters i have spoken to over the last 3 years all feel he has had a detrimental affect on their club.
There certainly have been years where we have not had orange jumpers.I can't be bothered finding which years but they exist.I agree we should always be concentrating on our club being a united WT.
I have never promoted a division between Balmain and the Magpies or Wests and Tigers,we are one...
I would not want a Balmain jumper despite having supported Balmain for much of my life.However a jumper reflecting the prime colours of a Tiger which is part of our name and our brand is most certainly what i and many others have wanted for years.
Finally having the jumper in the main Tiger colours would certainly have helped with sales,it stands out as a brand for our club which nobody else has (i have no issue with black or white as backup alternatives but a tiger is prominently orange/gold)
