Go Wests Tigers !
I love his passion for my old club Balmain but i completely DISAGREE with wanting them to come back.We should be WT in EVERY grade except for Mathews Ball and Flegg.The division in the club needs to be completely removed and that includes getting rid of the magpies in reggies and becoming WT

Stupid idea, when I seen the article I thought oh no not this crap again, we are Wests Tigers.
As for the Balmain fans being a dying breed there’s still a fair bit left in this body.
Just when things are looking like there’s light at end of the tunnel, this pops up and starts to divide us.
If Blue wants to help throw in some TPA’s.

Not doubting this guys ability to unscramble an egg because it's obvious that he has talent, after all he did bring us this gem:

As a rabid Balmain fan growing up, the best way for both clubs to succeed long term is together.
The Wests' catchment is a goldmine and we're only just (finally) scratching the surface on an absolute wellspring of talent. Make no mistake, if the sides were to split, Wests would be the powerhouse.
I've also become quite fond of the magpie and the Wests history and ethos.
It's like the step brother you learn to love as you grow up together.
Go the mighty Wests Tigers.

I forgot to mention that the original intention of the Blue Wiggle was to play this song after every Wests Tigers victory, which might explain why we don't seem all that keen to win too many games in recent years.
In actual fact it may have been a cunning plan by him to sabotage Wests Tigers and bring Balmain back all along.

The guy is nearly 100. He won't be alive if it were to ever happen.
Forget Harry's money.
Blue wiggle bored with plenty of money to play with.
I like his passion but he should move on like the rest of us did.
I lived and breathed Balmain, generations born there it was like a religion yet we all knew when it was over.
Go get a young girlfriend and a sports car with your midlife crisis.

I agree, it needs to start at the top. Wouldn’t be surprised if 90% of our problems start with the various boards.

I will add though, famous, well-connected and wealthy fans are rare as hens teeth, so pour that coin in, Anthony.
Even bring a few mates along....

There is no doubt that there are supporters who want their old club back - must admit it would appeal nostalgically (but not realistically) to me as an old Balmain diehard.
He totally lost me when he proposed Balmain stay but Wests move to Perth. One - why would Wests give up something basically already own, let along move to a city that they have no presence in and finance it from here? Two - the NRL would never agree to it.
As sad to me as what it is Balmain will never resurface - either from a financial or geographical viewpoint.
Hopefully, Wests Tigers will get their act together and start succeeding because that is the only realistically foreseeable future.

Im an old Balmain fan too but this sort of rubbish needs to stop its divisive, its been 20 odd yrs for Christ sake. Whats the point of putting your pipe dream in the media, until this stops from both factions we will never make strides further.

Because Balmain stuffed up their finances with the redevelopment and Wests had to save the day... and I'm a Balmain supporter. Can't go blaming this on Wests alone.
Poorly timed from Antony. I like the guy, but he's like your wife dragging up something from 10 years ago. Move on!! We're Wests tigers.

I agree on West Tigers!
But I don't like reserve grade not wearing Wests Tigers!
And I think there is too much black on the jerseys. Prefer a colour combo with at least 50/50 black-gold design reflecting a " Joint Venture".

Oh good, this discussion hasn’t happened in a while.
I agree reserve grade side should be same name as NRL side but jersey design doesn't bother me one way or the other as long as it has the 3 colours there somewhere

Older balmain fans will always have that feeling
Dream about it Anthony. The NRL wouldn't have Balmain back, and Wests would have to want to agree to surrender the Tiger, which they won't because it would threaten their interest in the NRL which is fair enough.
