And just a quick point, Corey Pearson is a Balmain junior, although I don't see how this furthers either side. Joint state cup is the only way, get with it people! WT to win the NSW Cup in 2012! \ \ Posted using RoarFEED

Whilst this would look great, this accentuates the split between Balmain and Wests within the joint venture. We should be celebrating our one club together, as well as occasionally the history of the two clubs which created the one club. Going off on a tangent I know, but what you are...

No I meant that would be the age when they enter the WT Cubs program, where they can do this. In no event should they merge at junior representative level, this would be a ridiculous proposition.

This is not going to be the team named I wouldn't think, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it run out. 1\. McKinnon 2\. Ryan 3\. Ayshford 7\. Moltzen 5\. Brown 18\. Sironen 14\. Miller 8\. Gibbs 9\. Farah © 10\. Galloway 11\. Dwyer 12\. Ellis 13\. Heighington 6\. Lui 15\. Fulton 16\. Woods...

To be honest, I'm not overly disappointed that the heritage jerseys aren't being released. They are the same as last year, and I got one then, so it doesn't bother me. And if the supplier is saying that they don't produce them because they don't sell as well as the other ones, why is there such...

This is exactly the point with the Wests single state cup side. They may have more juniors in sheer numbers, but the quality of them is coming equally from both sides of the merger. Therefore why not merge the state cup sides, and therefore we have a streamlined approach to our club. They come...

I'd say that there would actually be a $500,000 donation by Balmain Football Club to Wests Tigers, as Balmain owns 50% of the joint venture, and Wests Ashfield, Campbelltown and the Wests Magpies Football Club own the other 50%. So Balmain have no where near that simply for State Cup.

Ok, where do you think Balmain Football club gets its money from??? And if you're going to get that technical, Wests Ashfield itself is not a **share**holder (stakeholders and shareholders are different things) in the joint venture, neither is Campbelltown or the Football club. The...

Ok, where exactly do you get your info from??? That is just blatant crap! Balmain contribute the same as Wests Ashfield and Wests Campbelltown and Wests Football combined to the joint venture, and as a result have had to combine with Ryde Eastwood to fully fund the State Cup. In my opinion...

They won't/shouldn't do this, as from Wests Tigers point of view, it would be pandering to the seemingly whinging of Wests part of the WT board. For years they haven't wanted a joint State Cup side, so why should they be the one as a single entity to benefit from it. The only way to have all the...

I simply can't agree with this statement. In my opinion the recruitment and development program which has been implemented over the past 5 years of so is among the best in the competition. There are simply too many examples to use all of them, but look at the development of Chris Lawrence, Tim...

He is running as of a few weeks ago, so I'd say we'll see him this year, although could still be 6-8 weeks

Bug, whatever I say, I'm not going to change your stubborn, uninformed mind, so I'll stay on topic, and comment that I'm eagerly anticipating Mr Humphreys appearance on The Game Plan. Hopefully he will have some interesting and insightful comments, and maybe some exciting news for us Wests...

Sorry to everyone else for going completely off topic, but I feel like taking the bait on this occasion. BRET are using those facilities because it was offered to them to use for a night a week to train at. Wests had the chance to do the same, but opted against it. And yes, I did know that...

Ask anyone at the club (players, staff, administration people) and they will tell you that is all true. Why would I blatantly lie? I have no doubt that my sources are as good as any people on this fourm

I'm going off topic I know, but I just want the point to be made. Firstly on the topic of the players moving to BRET - I have no doubt that the players were given a choice between either club, and chose Balmain for the reasons Humphreys outlined. I can even see them asking the player you...

I'm not sure of the specifics of the Wests function later in the year, all I know that is that it will be a similar one to the Balmain one, celebrating the Wests side of the joint venture, much like the aforementioned Black and White Ball. It is not a one off, rather the first of an annual event...

There are too many assumptions which are being made in this debate, particularly by Bug in the first instance for starting the topic. The facts are Wests Tigers will be running a Wests Magpies event similar to this later in the year. This is a new event created by Wests Tigers to incorporate...

Now I understand that we may not have been great for the first hour, but I have an issue with 'supporters' constantly looking for negatives for each performance. There will always be positives and negatives in each game, but in my opinion a 'supporter' should be trying to find positives for each...

REALLY!! REALLY!! I havent seen this yet, but honestly can't we just all enjoy a win like this. It is this type of negativity that breeds further negativity, and this is why we get ourselves in a rut. We need to take all the positives out of a win like this, and grow from that. To everyone...
