I'm glad you made your feelings clear mate nothing wrong with respecting your origin.

But there are still a few on here that still want to ram magpie down our throats, it's like stuffing a magpie and mounting it next to your letter box, to fanatical.

Every single board member HBG have ever had had been absolutely rubbish. They're all terrible. None of them have the necessary skills or experience, none have been able to provide any positive impact on Wests Tigers.

The fact is they are not fit to run a professional club. They make decisions to deliberately damage their club rather than even try and compromise.

So long as HBG is involved the whole Balmain v Wests thing will continue. Newsflash. Nearly all WT fans don't give a stuff about either of those clubs anymore. So yes we should unequivocally be called Wests Tigers in all senior grades. It's called unity, one club etc. Any mentions of Balmain or the magpies destabilizes the entire club, Richo was 1000% right. A unified club is the one way forward. Dennis has no desire for a unified club. He laid his $250 in the 90s and he's determined to reign his tyranny down in the Wests Tigers until the day he dies. That's just who he is. Everyone at HBG is incompetent, he's the worst of the worst though.

They are incapable of leading us anywhere except dead last and that's why we have to insist the NRL intervenes and removes them.

Wests Ashfield didn't pay for the licence, haven't invested in the club whatsoever, they've just chipped in the bare minimum to keep the lights on. We need invested owners who want us to be the best, not just make up the numbers

Making it a major issue or fighting over whether our NSW Cup team is called Wests Magpies or must be changed to Wests Tigers is very petty in my opinion.
Hardly any of our supporter base care about or watch our NSW Cup team play anyway.
Rick Wayde, Dave Gilbert, Julie Romero and Tony Andeacchio all agreed wholeheartedly and endorsed the indecent board, so how were they hopeless ?

It's very easy to spot the Magpies fans who say they are all for WT and "Wests Tigers forever" but are obviously lying through their teeth.

If they are all for Wests Tigers, they would support the NSW Cup team being Wests Tigers as well then, like Jersey Flegg.

But ask them the above question and you will get your answer.

No no no no no... y'all just don't get it.

We start with a dozen top grade eggs, ok!

Prior to the JV both sets of fans had their own team to cheer for.
After the merger Wests still have the Magpies in NSW Cup, but Balmain don't have the Tigers anymore, so all you can do is throw all your eggs into the WT's bucket.

Magpies on the other hand are lucky enough to be able to share their eggs into 2 buckets if they choose, and any way they choose.
Some Magpie fans choose to put all their eggs into the WT's bucket while some put all their eggs into the Magpies bucket only.

The third alternative is to put some into both buckets, and why not for Magpie fans.
Why reject the team you have followed for many years as they are still alive and kicking.

But the WT's play in the NRL while the Magpies don't, so if you want to watch NRL on TV and on the radio [maybe you live in a regional area as I do] you have to follow WTs.

Now it's time to split the eggs up.
Some will put 8 into the WT's bucket but choose to still remain loyal to the Magpies by putting the remaining 4 into their bucket.
We are loyal Wests Tigers fans with the added advantage of still having the Magpies to follow, but in most cases not with the same intensity as when following the Magpies only, as an 8 egg intensity has gone to WTs.

I hope this is all as clear as mud 😉 so there will be no need to argue anymore, ok?

Just to actually talk about some rugby league for a post or two, I was quite happy when at one point the NRL decided to give the NSW Cup more airtime on fox because I thought over time it could become a true second tier comp with proper crowds and proper salaries for the players.

The u20s kind of became that comp because each team aligned with an NRL team so by nature you had rusted on supporters...I'd really like to see a proper reserve grade considered again and some thought go into how to monetise it and make it self sufficient.

💯 it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.
If it was much more televised and publicised, maybe then it would be a case where it needs to be called Wests Tigers not to confuse the general public, but we are not at that stage right now, so there is no valid reason why it needs to be changed other than to want to cause conflict.
 
I sent an email to the membership team a few days ago asking to NOT auto renew next year.

This is the response I got:

Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your thoughts so openly. We genuinely appreciate your long standing support of the club.
The Club has been advised of a change in our Board structure by the Holman Barnes Group. As you can appreciate, the details of this change are still being worked through and will be finalised following the Club’s scheduled Board Meeting in December.
We completely understand your concerns and respect the position you’ve taken. In good faith - we will opt you out of next seasons renewal to ensure no further renewals take place without you actioning this. Your feedback has also been collated and reported up to management as part of a wider review.
Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your feedback.

I didn’t ask for a refund as I had already received my package.

G'day B 2 T....thanks for your support mate, I really appreciate it.
But please don't let yourself get covered in any more crappy arguements on my behalf, it's just not worth it.

Since the time I got massacred a few months back, I've learned to only read the posts I choose to read and ignore the rest.
So, there's a lot of posters on here simply wasting their time.

That isn't true. While I understand the frustration & to a degree, the panic, CEO's at this club have been free to do their job for as long as I can remember.

It's either that is true, or we all back track the venom spat at Pascoe.

Can you give a tecent example of a CEO that was free to do his job or an example of what he did without HBG getting involved? Would genuinely like to know

I will thank you fir that explanation as i think it is the first time ive seen you try to genuinely explain it in 10 years. I do have a couple of questions though


Do you see why some people who are just Wests tigers fans may see that has holding the Wests Tigers back?

Why does that result in you defending some pretty indefensible actions from the HBG?

I will also say I am someone that puts eggs into the Magpies bucket, I attend games at lidcombe and recently over this off season signed up for my first Magpies membership for the next 3 years.
