I don’t think money was the problem. People who have enjoyed unchallenged power for a long time tend not to be too happy at giving it up.

Elias already did.

As a matter of fact Balmain did meet the criteria and could have stayed in the comp as a stand alone team. I don’t hide the fact I am a lifelong Balmain supporter and was horrified at the time when they decided to save Wests (although I always had a soft spot for them) and enter a merger...

Pretty sure the Bears would… without question..

Not that I ever heard of but I’m not saying it wasn’t considered by some

Pretty close. The original offer was to merge with the Tigers and use the Tiger logo. Then hardcore Eels changed their tune and wanted to retain the Eel. Balmain then decided to merge with Wests as they saw both clubs to be similar in many ways…. Including the fact neither had much money...

Don’t agree? Join their sites and look for yourself Denny.

Hard to say… could it be worse? Benny Elias did offer to buy the club.

Seems you have an unfortunate lack of comprehension. My ‘unprovoked attack’ on HBG was based on a question in regards to their desire to properly fund a NRL team. With biased senior management and a lack of money being directed at the WestsTigers it certainly would make most thinking people...

To be fair it’s not up to him. He’s had plenty of interviews where he’s been happy with the club and Benji. Now it’s up to the club if they want him and how much they will pay… and for him to accept or look elsewhere.

Thanks for your warped view of my post. I wasn’t trying to ignite any hatred between Balmain and Wests but just stating a point. HBG chairman, good old Denny Burgess, has been quoted as saying he wants to bring the Magpies back to the NRL. By the way, I am also a member of Magpies social...

AD our best player the last 3 weeks but everyone wants to get rid of him instead of the 29 others in the top 30. Makes sense on here. 🤣

HBG certainly do want to own a successful football team… only problem is that it’s Western Suburbs Magpies and not WestsTigers.

Whether you like to admit it or not it can't be easy being parachuted into the halfback spot in a team that already has its plays set. You only need to look at our team to see the evidence of that. Galvin is a good player, no matter how many people death ride him on here. He'll find a permanent...

Looking forward to seeing AD at lock. Is Bula back next week?

From memory think my favourite was the butterscotch

100% It's funny how these things are reported... now some outlets are feeling sorry for a guy wanting to kill or maim others. The police did their job and we should support them wholeheartedly.

Where was Latu this week?

Toa disgusting… goodbye. Bring May up. AD to lock. Is Bula back next week?
