Good signing. Can play lock, second row and prop and well deserved after his form last year. Helps our depth and gives us some options. I think he’s a good example of a player that been given time to develop in the lower grades. He played a FG trial at Manly, came over to us, played state...

I think this is one of the last pieces of the puzzle for us. We haven’t had consistently good egde players since 2011. Under Sheens I felt like we were short of big middles until around 2010 but had an abundance of backrowers and outside backs. Since then we’ve always been short on centres...

Yeah the knees are so frail at this stage he’s close to an early retirement. It definitely affects his lateral movement so I feel like he’ll always be a defensive liability in the centres despite it being his best position.

I absolutely love this signing and think he’s exactly what the club needs. I feel as though we’ve finally got a real enforcer in the pack and it’s something we’ve lacked for over a decade now. Impressive motor on him too. Hopefully that commitment to endurance rubs off on some of his teammates.

How convenient 😂😂😂. You seem to be pretty vocal for someone who doesn’t want to share an opinion. I didn’t ask if you’re a member either so thanks for answering a question I didn’t ask 😂. For the record Balmain’s ineptitude doesn’t excuse HBG from having a closed, archaic governance structure...

So you actually agree with the debenture system and think it represents good governance? Or are you just upset because HBG are being criticised?

I think he came through as an edge player but reverted to lock a few years back. I’d say he can play any position in the forwards bar hooker.

Yeah he got caught flat footed on so many occasions in the centres. I don’t blame him because he had to fill in for injuries but I think you’re right, seemed to go alright at hooker. Honestly think 5/8 is his position but he’s probably our third or fourth option so not sure how many...

That’s what I tell myself at night to make myself feel better😆.

Why do we need a Magpies or Balmain pov at this stage in our history?

The leaked emails from Julie Romero was pretty definitive proof imo.

That’s actually a pretty accurate description of me 😂. You’ve got me all figured out 😆.

You can’t just make a statement saying go on hating HBG then but call it for what it is. Especially given the context of what we were debating so don’t play the victim here. If you’d bothered to read my post earlier I mentioned that I thought it was a positive HBG committed to implementing the...

😂 I had no idea about that.

This is exactly what I’m talking about in previous posts. I give specific, lengthy reasons for being critical of HGB and then you try and turn it into an anti-magpies conspiracy. It’s absurd.

The issues raised about HBG are raised because of the abject and utter failure they’ve been when in charge of the Wests Tigers. They turned the Tigers from a 9th placed laughing stock into an embarrassing, abysmal, pity inducing, shamble that culminated in three straight spoons. This put us in...

Yeah Julie Romero’s leaked email from December 2023 actually raised that Hagipantelis and Pascoe shouldn’t have been scrutinised. From memory it was also critical of Richo being approached. If anything this shows she was satisfied with leadership and performance under those two muppets.

It’s hypocrisy because you cry and moan about the Magpies being disrespected then go on to take shots at Balmain. It’s insane because there’s a few select people here who blow up about supposed favouritism shown by forum members to Balmain. Then when those forum members and petition signers...

I don’t understand your view. This same sentiment keeps popping up. I’ve openly bagged Balmain and so have most of the people who have signed the petition yet it’s the same crap that spews out from the (mostly) old Magpies supporters saying that we’re anti-Magpies and want to destroy Wests...

Why are you replying to a post that’s a week old? Also I’m pretty sure Hewarth are overseeing the development. They had a DA approved for a 12-story mixed use development but had delayed the development.
