I agree, there are various reasons you select color, the obvious one is the heritage and emblem, however there are also considerations about generational tastes, how sponsors logos look and align. My main point is I honestly don't care, as long as it looks good and they are called the Wests...

My old man had a corner store in the 80s and would ferret these away whenever someone would use it to pay...was not worth much back then however he loved collecting coins and stamps.

Not that I want to dig up arguments from other discussions, however I find it interesting and somewhat comforting that whilst they are playing for a team called the Magpies they still identify themselves as "Tigers" as in Wests Tigers...obviously they were born after the JV so nothing nefarious...

i wish....closer to 25

yes they are

I have a stack of those old silver 1966 50c coins...i should check what they are worth now.

I would happily wear an entirely black or white or variations thereof jersey as long as the team was wests tigers...thats coming from an ex balmain supporter. The hang up ppl have about the colours is ridiculous. Only thing the orange has going for it is its distinctive...maybe a good away...

I have said this before, i honestly have no issue with HBG in charge of the WT, what I do have issue with is the debenture system. Allow the club members the opportunity to vote for every member on the HBG board and also to hold them accountable, than I'm all for HBG continuing as caretaker of...

If it were publicly listed there would be more governance and compliance at board level, and within the operations of the business itself, including internal and external audits. There would be more publicly available information as there are disclosure requirements for publicly listed entities...

My biggest gripe with the debenture system is the shady way a person becomes a debenture holder, and the fact you are sourcing 80% of your board from 20 debenture holders. How the hell do you cover the required skills matrix from such a small group of people. It is the fundamental reason behind...

Everyone making circular arguments...the proof of incompetence is there for all to see straight from the statement HBG delivered...so what is it, the board are rubbish so we sacked them? (then re-instated them) Richo is corrupt so we endorsed him? We sacked the board so Richo would resign...

Agree, if someone is putting forward an opinion, no matter how disagreeable than they should not be banned for that...if they are being abusive, racist, intolerant...than punt them for good. Whilst I vehemently disagree with some posters views on HBG and the politics of the WT, i still...

they missed a couple of zero's

bigger fish to fry than that...it should and will happen in time, however not a priority.

Nah mate, i was there and I saw him, he had a white hoodie over his shoulders...may have thrown that on when he saw the 100's of ppl wearing WT gear. If i wanted to lie i would have said there were more. Sad thing is I used to actually respect the old magpies supporters, my favourite uncle was...

I was there, i saw one magpies jersey and one old fella in a magpies polo shirt. About 5 balmain jerseys....the other 99% wests tigers gear. But hey, lets conveniently ignore the 99% to support our push to make this divisive and to make ourselves the victim.

Yuk

U keep making this a balmain vs magpies thing, when everyone keeps saying its a wests tigers vs an inept HBG thing. And to answer your earlier question i couldnt give a rats backside what the junior teams are called...any reasonable person will say they should all be wests tigers as thats the...

Not sure what part of my comment u are asking the perspective question about, however, lack of organised comms is my view/experience. So many podcasts/forums actually dilutes and fragments the messaging to the supporter base. This is potentially a way to create a substantial database of...

Was mentioned in the speeches today, he is still chairman of HBG.
