    Yep, though the term Red Rattler originated in Victoria with their electric suburban rolling stock that began operating in 1919 and the term was later adopted here. More of a challenge compared to the modern stock of today, being 1926 technology they were very basic in operation but good to...

    Brian May is a musician with talent, Mark Knopfler is a musician with talent, could list more but not every musician has talent, as with any job/career there are some who have the talent to excel at what they do however most are adequate enough to get by and get their job done without being...

    Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

    So you can refer to Melbourne as the Storm, and Penrith as, well a commonly used version of the Panthers, and I suspect you refer to other clubs by their logo/mascot, which many do. So why can't others use "Tigers" when referring to the Wests Tigers, you do it with other clubs but you scold...

    What a load of BS, if you cop heaps it's because of what you post not what your name is or was.

    Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

    There you go with the name again, so what if some miss the "s" occasionally, it may be incorrect but really it's not a major concern to most. You also have a go at people using the term "Tigers" without the "Wests", so I will ask you this how do you refer to the Melbourne Storm, solely as...

    Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

    Scolding someone over a divisive comment with a divisive comment, seriously flawed. "Solidarity" and "Balmain 'brothers and sisters'", sounds like a 70's militant union leader on his soapbox.

    2025 Jersey Reveal

    On a still photo, the distance of most fans at the ground and on a television screen the red would bleed into both the black and orange and would be barely legible, red text is simply a colour that doesn't work well with most backgrounds.

    Companies spend big bucks to sponsor and their logo is red, it’s their brand why would they compromise their brand to appease a few. As for the white box, red is a colour that doesn't mix well with others, outside of white and few light shades it bleeds with most colours and is almost illegible...
