    SMH Article 'We’ve lost faith in them’: Balmain consider shock exit from Wests Tigers merger

    He just makes you want to follow him doesn’t he. Who’s ready for spoon bowl?

    And a big part of why we have that much to spend is because we’ve lost 2 major players from our forward pack. Unless they actually manage to offload some of our outside backs we’ve already got enough considering our forwards need boosting. Or we’ll just end up in the same place we always are...

    He's apparently on $650k already so I don't see him leaving for a price those two clubs would be happy to pay.

    Looks decent, I think they plan to use him to replace Trbojevic at the back, but I wouldn't mind seeing him in our colours.

    wishlist aside there's 0 chance of Brian To'o. He's signed with Penrith until 2027 and committed.

    I’m not sure if it’s fair to say HBG has taken full control. The current board consists of a representative each from HBG, Western Suburbs Magpies, and Balmain Tigers. With Barry O’Farrell as the chair, things are probably a bit even at the moment.

    I honestly don’t think we’d have enough money to throw at him to convince him to come over with how much we’re already spending on API, Jarome and others. Sunia Turuva probably cost us a chunk too. In any case it’s irrelevant right now, we can’t approach To’o for another 2 and a bit years...

    Anyone who has actually watched To'o can tell the kid can play. And given he's played every origin since he debuted, I'd say both Fittler and McGuire would disagree that he's "often outplayed" at origin. Hell, him being near the top of the meter count in almost every game for NSW is enough, not...

    Yeah, I found out earlier today one of the supposed independent directors who left last year was also on the Balmain board and listed himself as a Balmain representative to the Wests Tigers board on LinkedIn, so somebody has been stretching the definition of independent. Also, I don't remember...

    We have 9-11 outside backs already depending on whether Faataape and Alaimalo resign. Im sure we can find a selection from there who can do the job.

    I wouldn’t mind it if he runs like he did tonight. We do have 4 outside backs off contract next year.

    I don’t think they want to. He’s apparently decided he’s being severely underpaid since being back in camp with NSW and wants more money. It’s likely irrelevant anyway, he’s signed until 2027, so unless panthers give him permission to negotiate we can’t even talk to him until the end of 2026.

    My issue isn’t with his talent, my issue is we have 2 wing positions and 2 centre spots and we have Doueihi, Lobb, Naden, Staines, Skelton, Olam, Saikuru, To’a and Turuva already signed plus likely one or both of Faataape and Alaimalo would be resigned. We need to spend the money bolstering the...

    Marina Go left in 2019, about the same time as Lee Hagipantelis came on board and Barry O’Farrell left. But you’re not wrong, I remember how divided the fan base used to be, would be great to not revert to that.

    I like what I see from Pole and the fainus. Seyfarth is starting to grow on me as well, as long as he keeps the aggression under control.

    If he’s our best forward at least we’re staying consistent, we have a habit of letting our best forwards go year after year.

    Yeah, to be honest I don’t think Isaiah was worth the money, we should have let him back out of the contract and signed someone who actually wanted to be here. I feel like both of them are a bit overhyped.
