Maybe in a few years when he’s good enough. Still green and wanted the keys to the castle.

TDS didn’t want a bar of it. Wanted a guaranteed spot.

Except he hasn’t signed with Isaac Moses. 🤣

If you think Wests Leagues put any money to save the Balmain Leagues Club out of goodwill you’d be wrong. Obviously if it’s still an ongoing concern it maintains a place of business in the new development… making it a long time premise filled with pokies that make money.

Bit hard to reply to a comment unless it’s in the thread it’s posted…. just like I’m replying to your non relevant comment now.

If you're going to defend yourself then reposting a comment that was plain wrong doesn't help. Balmain were in no danger of being dumped if they chose to stand alone. Wests had no choice but to merge or die (in first grade). How long Balmain would have lasted without a major cash injection is...

I’m aware of that but the old fossils prefer Lidcombe. It’s crazy that even Wests Campbelltown have zero to do with the team.

Sorry to tell you but Blocker calls the team ‘Wests’ plenty of times when he calls our games or just in general and I’ve heard Elias do the same ( maybe on purpose) and I can’t recall anyone complaining about Andrew Moore , in fact surprised more than a few people would still listen to him. As...

Not from me… I replied.

The simple answer is most old Maggie supporters (especially the ones who prefer watching them to WestsTigers) relate to Lidcombe and not Campbelltown as their home. Even they don’t want to go Campbelltown. I’m nearly 70 and, in my mind, that’s what I would consider their home as well. Saw...

Here’s an answer for you. The reason the current jersey ‘screams Tigers’ just might be because we are WestsTigers and our emblem is a Tiger… not a Magpie.

I don’t think money was the problem. People who have enjoyed unchallenged power for a long time tend not to be too happy at giving it up.

Elias already did.

As a matter of fact Balmain did meet the criteria and could have stayed in the comp as a stand alone team. I don’t hide the fact I am a lifelong Balmain supporter and was horrified at the time when they decided to save Wests (although I always had a soft spot for them) and enter a merger...

Pretty sure the Bears would… without question..

Not that I ever heard of but I’m not saying it wasn’t considered by some

Pretty close. The original offer was to merge with the Tigers and use the Tiger logo. Then hardcore Eels changed their tune and wanted to retain the Eel. Balmain then decided to merge with Wests as they saw both clubs to be similar in many ways…. Including the fact neither had much money...

Don’t agree? Join their sites and look for yourself Denny.

Hard to say… could it be worse? Benny Elias did offer to buy the club.

Seems you have an unfortunate lack of comprehension. My ‘unprovoked attack’ on HBG was based on a question in regards to their desire to properly fund a NRL team. With biased senior management and a lack of money being directed at the WestsTigers it certainly would make most thinking people...
