I have 40+ years of being a dork…it’s kind of hard not to with this much practice 😂😂😂

It’s Balmain bias cause Wests Ashfield is closer to Leichhardt than Campbelltown 😂😂😂

Just re the constant accusations of Balmain bias, I was a 6 year old when I went to my first game (I believe I had been an Eel or Canterbury fan before, vague memories of a bulldogs football at home - being too young to know the difference) and Balmain won. It wasn’t until late 1988 that I went...

And the person needs to have some sort of qualifications or skills to bring to the board, beyond just “I’m a fan”.

I love this point about fresh blood from the foundation clubs. I’m a Balmain Football Club member and I haven’t been to an AGM since the joint venture started, I have no idea if there are people genuinely interested in representing a club that doesn’t play at NRL level and thus, by my...

Yep, find me a downside.

Leave both heritage clubs out, or potentially give Balmain and Magpies one seat each as they are a big part of junior development for the NRL franchise.

HBG can have the pokies and Rozelle, and support Wests Magpies (their charter). Wests Tigers can play heritage games at Leichhardt but become MacArthur focussed (fast growing region in Australia), existing sponsors like Pepper and Wakelings would be happy.

$10 million dollar profit 2022/23, 85,000 members, community invested. Smart operators too.

Why wouldn’t they be? Guys, it ticks a hell of a lot of boxes.

Not in a million years. Besides, is the blue wiggle or Benny in that photo?

Doesn’t look like Brisbane to me

I can’t make it any more obvious guys, it’s in the bloody photo!
