That’s true, times have changed. Yet all this talk of us being underfunded is based on what exactly? Someone quoted Leagues Club grants comparing us to Canterbury. But how does it compare across the board - across all clubs. And why simply blame HBG? Doesn’t sponsorship come into it? I...

Where have I “constantly railed about” anything? My comments on this topic have always been in response to others.

I was responding to a post where the guy literally wrote that It all happened before he was born and therefore he didn’t give a toss. So yeah - he was saying the past doesn’t matter. (his post has since been deleted) And yes, I do agree that one side of the joint venture has for twenty five...

Yeah that’s a fair point about Tumeth as others did rate him (NSW under 19s). Like you however, I never understood the hype around Tumeth. If what you say is correct - its typical Wests-Ts form to prioritise Giles over Stone ... and end up with neither 🤣. Re’ Dan Peck - he’s playing for The...

Big day at Lidcombe tomorrow Will be a test against the might of the Penrith Panthers Carn the Maggie’s 👍

So apparently we got this cutting edge high performance mega thing built at Concord but we don’t have any kit bags? Who says we don’t have training gear for Jnr reps etc? They all look nicely kitted out whenever I see them. What are we basing all this on. Cos someone on the forum said it...

Interesting that you say Wests-Ts chose Giles over Stone as he “looked more likely”. Stone was chosen in the Australian Schools team 2014 and the NSW under 18s in 2015 (Giles made neither side), so plenty of other judges saw it differently.

I know Jakob Giles well. Toukley lad, great ball playing skills - he played in the Hawks premiership winning teams up here in 2022 & 2023 (grand finalists last year). Haven’t seen him this year - maybe injured, not sure 🤷‍♂️ Yeah he came down with a little blond haired hooker Dan Peck, (also...

From Moss Vale. Played Matt’s & SG Ball for Western Suburbs, then Flegg. Made all the age rep teams including Aussie Schoolboys - but of course, we didn’t want him 🥴 We prefer to focus on the Brandon Tumeth’s of the world 🤣

He clearly needed to pull a bit more cabbage from his back door 🤷‍♂️

“Invest more into their organisation” 🤔 So don’t we have a wiz bang centre at Concord, two junior league nursery’s, and we’ve attracted a number of high profile players during recent seasons ... We’re hardly in the Dickensian position of the Wests Magpies back before the salary cap when the...

So are we now saying our club is crap because we’re poor. Give me a break. 🥴

... which is owned by the Holman Barnes Group. The way I see it, if you own something, you’re entitled to kick in as much or as little funding as you like. Anyone not happy with that, go make em an offer 🤷‍♂️

So what your saying is that Balmain panicked and kicked possession away despite being given six again 🤣🤣🤣 And they blame Wests for being losers 🤷‍♂️

... and a NSW Cup team, and junior rep teams, and ownership of the Wests-Ts 👍

Says who ? With 90% ownership - if Wests wanted the Tigers extinct, they’d be bloody extinct! As for your little history lesson, Wests also held talks with Canterbury, which would have left Balmain to be axed (for what its worth) 🤷‍♂️

I’m just wondering - where would the Wests-Ts be without the Holman Barnes Group ?

Mate it’s a Wests Tigers forum ... filled with followers of a club who’ve triumphed in completing a wooden spoon three-peat, the club which boasts more home grounds than semi final appearances, when it comes to being dysfunctional, the Wests-Ts are the epicentre of the sporting world ... By...

Well I definitely fall into that category. There are plenty of triumphs stored in my black & white memory bank ... *The 1974 knock out semi final win over two times premiers Manly *1978 minor premiership when Roy’s boys remained unbeaten at home *The 1977 Amco Cup win * The 1983-1985 court...

I realise it helps their kicking game, but I’ve never liked Burton at five eighth. Needless to say, the Dogs aren’t winning a comp with Galvin & Burton as their halves.
