The NRL salary cap is directly linked to the funding grants provided to clubs. Broadcasting deal goes up, salary cap goes up, NRL grant goes up. Everyone is on the same deal with regard paying players within their cap. Beyond that - HBG are our benefactors. HBG is us. We are HBG (y)

Feeding off that argument ... And having been created back in 1955 to support the Western Suburbs Magpies, they also have an obligation to 100% support the Magpies at the highest level available to them (aka NSW Cup level) 👍

Kurt Falls back at Penrith Interestingly he’s still listed on the Norths site as lining up with the Bears this season. Makes me wonder whether Jack Cogger has picked up an injury, given he returned to Penrith as back up half 🤔 But speaking of Manly their trial side has a number of former...

I love a bit of melodrama, but this is the first trial of the year. Last chance ? Really 🤪

Geez I hope someone’s dropping breadcrumbs 👀

I’ll look out for the Maverick at Lidcombe on Saturday 🤔

I just managed to open a window in my hectic schedule to listen to the Mielekamp interview. Nice work - @cochise . Good chat. Gary "I'm Really Passionate" Mielekamp seems like a decent fella. Living as he does on the Central Coast makes this fact wholly unsurprising. As an old Magpie man, I...

No you didn’t 🤷‍♂️

I challenge you to find any post where I claimed you support Balmain over the Wests Tigers

I refuse to believe there are commentators on this forum who would whip any particular agenda to the point of frenzy. It simply wouldn't be tolerated :rolleyes:

If as you say - "the Eels will win it", then why pull Godinet & Taupau-Moors after we lost a game (first one of the season) to the eventual champs. I mean for all we know, Wests could be the second best team in the comp

Apart from enticing the Large's from us a few years back - looks like the Silver's have been out & about filling their SG Ball Cup shopping trolley - https://www.zerotackle.com/exclusive-manly-poach-dual-code-roosters-talent-on-two-year-contract-228671/

Yeah that's right, Manly with the Large brothers in their Ball Cup team will also be a handful.

Looking at the draw this year, the NSWRL are having a laugh :( In their eight games - Wests have drawn junior powerhouse clubs; Parra, Newcastle, Canterbury, Illawarra & the NZ Warriors (in New Zealand), along with the perennially dangerous Souths. The only fixtures one could consider...

The only circumstance would be if HBG ran into financial strife and needed to conduct a fire sale ... and that’s not happening in anyone’s life time 🤷‍♂️

Where did I mention the Magpies ? 🤷‍♂️

Sure. Let’s run with that. HGB own the Wests Tigers - let’s say they loose the licence, but hey, they still own the Wests Tigers. The NRL after negotiating with Arthur Laundy transfer the licence across to his newly formed club - The 2GB Pub Boys (NRLW side would of course be the 2GB Pub...

Are you serious? One lie was intentional/unhinged, the other was a million miles from the truth. aka “big fat porkies” My only agenda is sharing my opinion 🤷‍♂️

Exactly. Not for sale. Wests Ashfield was built in 1955 to support the Western Suburbs Magpies. They continue to do that via all the clubs contemporary incarnations. Maybe Laundy could buy the Balmain RLFC - given he was a supporter and I imagine it would go for loose change 👀
