exactly - and no doubt signed on good money - more chance of HBG trying to punt him than him walking away.

And Parramatta had their board dissolved by LGA for financial fraud and salary cap cheating but that didn't effect their NRL grant

I won't reply because i know you always like to get the last word in whether you are right or wrong - so go ahead and have your petty little dig and then we are done.

that wasn't the point - the poster said it was necessary for success to have all teams under the one name - just ointing out a couple of successful teams that don't and one unsuccessful team that does.

You can't acknowledge what i said can you - even though you are wrong.

There is a difference between a joint venture and a merger. A JV is formed so that both parties remain as independent entities rather that one new entity. The JV probably should have been dissolved when Balmain went belly up and the single entity being Wests Tigers should have been reinvented...

Who is Brisbanes reserve grade side. Whose Melbournes reserve grade side been for the last 25 years. Whose Newcastles - its pretty obvious thats its not a pre requisite for success that your reserve grade side should be the same name as the NRL side.

that is ridiculous - the NRL fund all the clubs the same amount so by your logic they are the majority owner seperately of all 17 clubs. Over the last 3 financial reports HBG have funded Wests Tigers $5 mil in total, Wests Magpies $750k and Balmain RL $500k. How about you give us a list of the...

He said HBG have put money in not the individual debenture holders and only a fool would argue that that is not the case.

No club would exist without the NRL grant. You make out as though Wests Tigers are the only club that gets it.

I lived at Auburn. I played for Teachers in the University competition and had a few games fo Bankstown in second division. When i left Sydney i played at Broken Hill and Narromine.

The NSWRL was restructuring the competition and kicked Newtown and Wests out as both clubs were struggling financially. Also those bastard wabbits wanted Newtown gone as it was too close to their territory. Newtown decide not to fight the eviction. After being kicked out the second time and...

I wasn't sure so i checked their facebook page - colours are blue and gold. Also saw they have just signed Elijah Taylor to play for them.

Yea i was a lidcombe boy as well - i had moved out of Sydney before they moved to Campbelltown so only watched on from afar. I feel that the passion, tribalism of the magpies during the Lidcombe days was very similar to Leichhardt now. The take no prisoners mentality.

I used to follow the magpies before Wests Tigers - i only watch them now as a Wests Tigers reserve grade side - i bet half the people wanting them gone don't even watch or associate with reserve grade. i don't get what the gripe to get rid of them is about - changing the name is certainly not...

I only threw the fish brain in because it seems to have become weststigers go to put down word. I thought he may have seen my mockery as a compliment but alas he replied with jelly head.

You really just waffle on for the sake of it - there has been 1 year there was a Wests Tigers reserve grade side and it was immediately after Balmain Tigers demise. It lasted 1 year and reverted back to Wests Magpies. The calls to have reserve grade named Wests Tigers have been since then.

Yes i know - after Balmain Tigers disappeared - which is what i said fish brain.

At least they still exist in some form> Its funny how i don't remember ever seeing any of this vitriol towards Wests Magpies when Balmain Tigers were fielding a team - there were no calls for a combined reserve team called Wests Tigers back then. If you are so pro Wests Tigers as you say you are...
