We have to bite the bullet and have 1 stadium and tbh a new shared stadium makes sense. The NRL should show some guidance and make a ruling as to new or upgraded grounds standards and expectations.
I would really like to see the NRL declare the WA has to cease the debenture system immediately and normal / usual board membership make up by democratic election of membership replaces it. The debenture system is a rigged, too powerful, closed shop and crippling WA, HBG and WT. Pay out the...
We have a huge question mark over Pole, last season was bad, previous season good. What will 26 bring? If Pole is only playing on here to repay debt to WT (wasn't that what he said last season) and his heart is back in Melbourne, Curran would be a good replacement, but timing is key. Not sure...
Well, this certainly puts our WT crap into perspective. Life and death vs sport. That bloke that grabbed the gunman was more a super hero than any league player. I hope the injured are ok. I'm in Europe at moment and only getting grabs of things. Best wishes and hope to everyone.
Still wouldn't put it past the squad to perform well in 26. Let's wait and see. The board room shenanigans unfortunately are common place at WT. I hope the NRL reads the riot act to the Board and keeps effect on playing group minimal.
I wouldnt exactly say Campbelltown has embraced WT, rather more they emphatically rejected WSM. Campbelltown and area is certainly interested in WT but there is equal competition for loyalty from Bulldogs and Panthers. I think WT are in front though
Magpie is gone in the NRL and accepted by most i think, inc me. There is absolutely no reason the lower State Cup or whatever its called can't have the Magpie as its emblem. It's not the NRL. Shouldn't conflate the 2 separate and different competitions.
And, he also previously dumped WT like a bag of rubbish to take up that trade commissioner deal (in india i think). Not saying he's lying just not a paragon of virtue. Everyone's actions are governed by self interest.
Someone made a great suggestion when the WT board was being installed, the members and chair, must swear / affirm whatever is a correct word, total loyalty to WT, and decisions made from that viewpoint, not Balmian Tigers or Wests Magpies. Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies sh#t must be kept at...
Ive said it before and I'll say it again, if its the logo / emblem thats the problem, Tigers / Magpies- just remove that friction and become something new, whilst acknowledging both original Tigers & Magpies with equivalent shoulder flashes. Dunno what though Im sure people can come up with...
I hope it can be sorted but if loose the license it is, so be it. I'd rather see the root cause with the WSM debenture administration forced out and proper voting for delegates, along with the NRL kicking in some temp funds to up the 10% Balmain share.
