"Forget the past and look forward to the future".. they say, with 3 magpies on the jersey, a magpies koe side and games at lidcombe.

** i know its only a handful.. there are plenty of magpies faithful on here who are fully onboard with the JV

And those that are onboard are sick death of the constant barrage of BS against wests. By all means hate on HBG but the constant attacks on the magpies while staunchly defending anything said against balmain is boring to say the least.
 
Luau will play some of his best footy at Eels.
A. He will have a class half.
B. He will have incentive. He needs to continue raising his profile for whatever big 3rd party deals he has or about to have.
All these old retired media contracted players are livid that their careers gave them all the thuggery for low pay.

I dont defend Balmain. Both sides are as backward as each other. Balmain escape criticism because they are non existent and have no power to further drive the club into the ground. Its the Wests side causing the chaos. They might be called HBG, but it is Wests. I know you might not like that, but its reality. If Balmain were majority owners and as rubbish as the Wests owners, i'd be equally as vocal. I have ties to both sides, probably more so Wests because my grandfather played for them.

The money grab didnt bother me and shouldnt bother any adult who need to provide for their family. But the trip to png post cowboys game and not turning up to the end of season awards are an issue. He couldnt have gone out the right way, but didnt.

I once heard Nathan talk about how jarome was the better player growing up. I reckon theres an element of jealousy that Nathan is the one who kicked on.

I am sure Jerome will be ok and think he kicked on from juniors. Four premierships, captain of Samoa, Origin, and after all the tax free dollars and PNG sponsorships may end up with even more cash than Nathan.

While I'm glad he's gone, I still don't think he was a bad signing. He got a few players to sign here and mentored a few young blokes on how to be a professional. He wasn't playing well enough to justify his pay, but his departure has freed up pathways for our young guns, and allowed re-signing key players.

I won't be wishing him well, but I also won't send hate his way. Kind of a "k bye" situation, it's done, he's not important anymore.

Nathan will always be known as the man.
Luai may end up richer, but no one will remember his name in 15 years.
 
Wonder if all the idiots who cried racism will apologise when every single criticism levelled of Luai throughout the past 3 years has turned out to be unequivocally true.

Yeah, that’ll show him. Wishing him spoons or even injury is futile. If you want him to suffer, you want it to be in his hip pocket. Like the tax free incentive blowing up in the players faces, leaving them to earn nothing. Or all of his endorsement deals eating shit. That’s what you should want to see. Not him getting a spoon. Who cares. He’ll only wipe his tears away with hundred dollar bills and post it on Insta.

WS Magpies have held a piece of my heart for 50 yrs. But i dont see the prejudice from the Balmain side that some see.
They(Balmain) have no leg to stand on ,Magpies own their soapbox.
Honestly think the confusion starts in stead of hbg being called out ,people take the lazy option and dump their frustrations on the Magpies-which technically it is - as sole franchise owner minus that token gesture.

All complaints should be thrown at hbg,not wasted on some fantasy that its them v them in some corporate tossup .because there is no more them- its the WestsTigers now.
Such a stupid backwards club and that is on the Magpies as a controlling interest , all grades should have been rebranded as the parent franchise after 3 years notice after it becoming conjoined siblings
