Are we cursed?

[Merlot]

Wow!!! you must be a very influential poster P_b.
It wasn't long after you suggested I should be banned "for obvious trolling" and "the exact same nonsense"..........that I 'was' banned for 10 days.

Maybe a case of if yuh don't ask yuh don't get.
I'll have to try this tactic sometime, hoping I get the same result.

im not taking you off ignore ,there has bin a bit in the bin of late . Wonder why

 

[BZN]

Did you say the same thing to matchball - he was the halfwit who started it - i decided to throw it back in his court to stir the pot.

And you could throw in snidest0 effort in post #2 for adding fuel to the fire.

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

What did you do this time?

Good question.

I think we need a Forum Review Committee that publicly announces charges, loading stats, and ultimately suspensions.

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

The dinosaur brothers just run cover. Never a well constructed point. Never discuss making the club better. Just defend blindly. Trained seals.

I wonder if they'd be this staunch if it was Balmain running the club? Hmmm....unlikely. credibility lost gents.

** Epiphany Wednesday **

Balmain Fridge Magnet & co are correct - all this Balmain & Western Suburbs stuff needs to be eliminated from our great club.

Why is the magpie on the sleeve? It needs to go. We must also get rid of those old emblems from the back of the jersey. Legacy is like a dead weight around our necks. It needs to be wiped!

The Magpies must be stripped of their NSW Cup duties and the junior Rep sides can no longer represent Western Suburbs and Balmain.

The colours are a problem too - I mean, we all know where they came from. And the current name of the club, HELLO ! This is the absolute crux of the problem WESTS TIGERS - derived directly from Western Suburbs & Balmain. Polarity writ large. Cancerous stuff!

If we truly want to extract ourselves from this dinosaur culture - we also need to ensure the club never plays another home game at any of the following venues - Campbelltown, Leichhardt, Lidcombe, Pratten Park, St Luke’s Concord or Birchgrove. These venues are haunted by the ghosts of bickering Western Suburbs and Balmain troglodytes.

Naturally the ownership of the club will need to be passed onto a wholly neutral suitor. Word on the street is that both Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are jockeying for a hefty stake.

So let’s hear it for our wholly progressive club peeps. Finally burying the dinosaurs of the past our liberated thirteen, wearing their distinctive sepia jerseys with beige trimming, charge onto their beloved home ground at Gosford, to the cheers of a united fan base ...

I give you the mighty Diddly Squat RLFC

You know what @BZN, you snipe that I am pro Balmain, and shut things down. That's just not true. I would appreciate you stop implying this. The only reason I became a Wests Tigers supporter is because Super League gutted my local team, which I had supported since I was 11, and someone very dear to me, came to WT. Please stop dragging me into your imagined Balmain bias.

Hi Suzie...thanks for sharing your perspective.
I just want to gently but clearly say I strongly disagree with and resent your use of the word "snipe".

To "snipe" means to constantly criticise or attack in a sly, underhanded, and petty way....and I genuinely don't believe I've ever addressed you in that way.

😂 Me?

Sweetheart, I am one of the few that rarely does. Once again, you're being lazy, not even bothering to actually do the work to figure out which poster you're actually talking to.

You engaged in cowardly behaviour and are now squirming after being called out on it.

Assessing behaviour is not a personal attack, nice try.

Stop projecting.

My definition of a coward is someone who makes personal attacks from the safety of the keyboard. So, if the cap fits, wear it.

'My definition'? Haha, what is this, write your own dictionary day?

Congrats, you've unequivocally defined who the cowards are on here.

And that is the 300 or so who pile on and attack the 3 or 4 who are willing to stand up and speak from a Wests Magpies pov, and that's all it is "a point of view".

But if I say any more I'll probably be suspended again.

Hahaha thatd be a hoot 🤣

 

[Furious1]

"Are we cursed"....................you bet we are. The Backdoor Benny curse. Benny is always offended by anything WT do, so I really wish he'd be offended enough to piss off for good and stop associating himself as a representative of WT. Thus the curse be lifted and Backdoor would no longer be the go to for the media.

Haha, it doesn't matter what you resent 😂 , you've incorrectly used it.

To "snipe" means to constantly criticise or attack in a sly, underhanded, and petty way....and I genuinely don't believe I've ever addressed you in that way.

There is nothing constant about 'sniping'; the very point is to fire off a single or limited criticism from a metaphorical distance away. Generally when you have very little to do with the actual conflict or argument (think; the way a sniper operates in actual conflict).

Congrats, you've unequivocally defined who the cowards are on here.

Nah, you won't.

Don't play the victim. That's soft. Conversations like this are good for everybody. Ideas should be openly discussed.

Also, the fact that you think there is a 'Wests Magpies POV' is exactly why you're struggling to understand it; there is no Magpies POV, just like there is no Balmain POV, there is those who support the Wests Tigers as a club and those who don't, and varying degrees of agreeance within that framework.

Therein lies the very reason that you boys are all twisted up.

Anyway, it's a new day, you're all quality contributors to this forum, so let's all hold hands and move on in harmony, eh?

Wouldnt it be nice if the club could give a list of 'approved' WT ex players / personalities to seek input and comment from to the media. Anybody else supposedly speaking with a 'love for WT' is just in it for themselves and they would be regarded as such. Ive yet to hear Benny say much positive about WT despite a supposed love for the club and lets face it- he is a Balmain legend (and he loves Balmain Tigers - and so he should) not a WT legend.

Benny is the go to “rent a quote “ that squeezes one extra day out for the media in respect of the latest Wests Tigers negative story, when it might be running out of steam …

So the result of all this outrage is a warning and a fine ? Massive …

Do you ever talk about the Tigers or just take issue with other peoples posts?

Benny is upset that the club don't invite him to be part of anything. I don't know what's goong on there. Blocker gets the same treatment too and he's a gentlman...never bags the club and has always supported the merger.

Blocker and Elias both bag the joint venture. They both would like Balmain back and would love to see the back of the Magpies.

I think you're right about Benny, but Blocker doesn't bag the club. He never mentions the political side of it.

Question for you...where are the old Wests legends? Never hear them support or bag the club. I honestly couldn't even think of the last Wests guy that spoke about the place?

 

[jadtiger]

Just my opinion but i would say Blocker is a Tiger from head to toe and has embraced the JV in the last 15 years even though he is a Balmain legend and still loves the club,Benny on the other hand never has and i doubt he ever will and is all about himself and making money.
Blocker hurts when we play badly but Benny just sees it as an opportunity to give himself exposure.As i said that is just my opinion.
