    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    It actually does have an effect on retention and recruitment, they might be professionals that doesn’t mean that all are idiots. There are players that look at the club itself before they decide whether to go there or not. Look at Ice for example he signed with us to play under Madge, then when...

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Again, we’re a basket case. We are not going to be able to sign anybody because once again players will be weary of joining us. Just because we have spots and maybe a little money doesn’t mean players will come. My guess is we’ll upgrade who we have here to top 30 to fill the roster.

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    I don’t know if we tried for either player but given we’re a basket case again we won’t be landing anyone worthy for a long time. That could be why we didn’t sign them.

    He’s got nothing that’ll give him any chance of being eligible for Origin. He wasn’t born in either state, he was actually born in NZ but moved to Victoria at an early age. He grew up playing AFL originally down in Victoria but eventually switched to League and played in Victoria. His dad didn’t...

    Most fans will be calling out HBG again if he does walk. Can’t really blame him though if he does they made us a laughing stock again.

    In this case it could also be due to the owners basically nuking the joint putting everyone on edge. I doubt we’ll hear any signings news until well into next year.

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    Well that’s because we all know you don’t give a damn about WT it’s only the Magpies you care about. Your heart isn’t with WT at all.

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    Obviously I can’t speak for everyone but the ones that I have spoken to about it have all said the same thing, they don’t go to Cup games because it isn’t WT. They’ve only followed WT and can’t support a team that isn’t called that. Obviously the ones prior to the merge might see it differently...

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    It might be our players but it isn’t WT in Cup it’s a different name and a different team. It doesn’t show unity which is why I think 99% of people want us playing under WT in Cup. Can you honestly say you’ve seen a real big crowd under the Magpies name for us in Cup? I know I haven’t. But I...

    Can you see them investing in the south west with HBG back in charge? I can’t. Once Richo went so did that plan IMO.

    From a WT perspective on that one you would be. We should be WT from Flegg upwards. Majority of teams in NSW Cup play under the same banner in first grade we’re one of the few that don’t. Magpies and Balmain can be used for HM and SG but I don’t see the point of playing under Magpies in Cup.

    Actually we were Wests Tigers in NSW Cup from 2013-2017. Once Magpies got majority ownership in 2015 or 16 I can’t remember exact they decided to go back to Magpies in 2018. I don’t know the exact reason why we were still WT in NSW Cup for a couple years when Magpies became majority owners...

    From what I know they were never pally to begin with. Seems from day one WA and WM couldn’t get along and was gonna be problems between them no matter what.

    Wests Campbelltown

    I don’t know everything that happened between all 3 parties when WT played their first game I was only 4 years old. And wasn’t even alive when Magpies left Ashfield for Campbelltown but in his mind that’s probably the case what you just said. Balmain would’ve had a hand in the WT not moving...

    So you’re saying Balmain is the sole reason why they didn’t? Given WA have never been big on the region I doubt Balmain is sorely to blame.

    It’s gonna get messy again with HBG back in the majority.

    Having 2 parties in the inner west was gonna be hard to do that. Both WA and Balmain would have been to blame for that.

    That’s why the independent board was working, now it’s back to square one at best. Funny how we’ve gone majorly backwards in only 2 weeks, when stuff like this happens it usually takes a few years not WT though.

    That could’ve been the case but from what I heard the Balmain side of it didn’t pay much attention to them either.

    Wests Campbelltown

    They used to have ownership and did have directors on the WT board but they felt they were being ignored and weren’t being listened to by the others so they sold their ownership to WA in 2013. Now they just fund the juniors in the area. Haven’t put any money into the club since 2013.
