Balmain Leagues Club building site approved

Mate …I thought you were making a point that the WSDRLFC has a different agenda to HBG…. They don’t is my point
3 of the 7 board members are elected by club members. Are you absolutely certain they agree on everything? The guys at Holman Barnes were fighting amongst themselves only last year. What makes you so confident they are all humming to the same tune? They all fight even if they are on the same side. They have internal factions and that has been the issue.

I suspect old mate Dennis Burgess - the Chairman of both entities holds a lot of sway …we know how he operates at HBG

I hadn’t heard there was any conflict between the two groups previously ,… ( are they related entities ?) unlike the Balmain/ Wests shit fights, and even Wests Campbelltown when they were there …

It's this type of attitude that has held the club back.

The Wests Tigers are a single entity. Nobody wants a Balmain Leagues Club. Nobody wants a Wests Magpies leagues club. They want a Wests Tigers leagues club.

You have said this before about old Balmin fans yet I can't find one post where any fan says they want anything other than a united Wests Tigers team. Where are these posts you talk of?

As for "bullying" you, I can't find one shred of evidence where you have not been the first to throw stones. And even then, when people engage you in a decent manner, you're very quick to accuse them of something they didn't do. From what I can see, you have taken every opportunity to follow cochise around the forum and have a dig at him, yet you are the one that constantly says you are being bullied?

What would you like people to say to a post as inflammatory as this without it being seen as "bullying" in your eyes? Personally, I think you and a few others on here hide behind accusations of bullying to avoid any criticism, but if you post your opinion here, you have to be open to it being criticised too.

You sit there throwing grenades, yet you get upset when people shoot at you. You said you were in your 70's? Most of the 70 year old blokes I know are tough as old boots. Why are you so sensitive?
Excellent post weststigers 🙂.
No personal abuse, just good points raised.
All in all, a fairly respectful post.

But then you get people like cochise that have railed against every one of my posts because I write from a Wests Magpies pov and surely, I am entitled to do that.
I have NEVER said I want the MAGPIES back even though cochise has said on many occasions I have but can't produce the evidence.

Cochise 'ADMITS' ON HERE TO GIVING OLD MAGPIES [LIKE ME] A HARD TIME and have shown the evidence on here previously.
Adding to that I have never seen him post anything that even resembles humour, but creates a thread titled I HATE MAGPIES.
If he had shown the slightest bit of EMPATHY re the Magpies prior to that thread, I would have taken it as at least an attempt at humour.

I have tried very hard on here to be respectful to all posters, and I believe I have achieved that 99% of the time even though probably 99% of people on here are old Balmain fans.

Very soon after my last post on the Shane Richardson thread, cochise not surprisingly was the 1st person to reply to my post.
So, I ask you, who's following who around.
 
Our owners are the type of grudge holding, agenda driven old farts that hold us back.

I'd love to see Balmain and HBG sell their respective shares and let one new owner take over.

So much positive growth, financially and structurally is left on the table due to the in-fighting. Even Ashfield and Campbelltown argue...they hate each other. It's not a Balmain v Wests thing anymore. Our owners are dickheads.
Wow, you've got some very strong feelings about the 'owners', so I assume you feel the agenda driven old farts from Wests Magpies are the main protagonist re the in-fighting.
 
Who owns the WSDRLFC? They have 4 directors out of 7 from HBG on their board ….

So HBG essentially controls 90 percent …

Also the Balmain 10 per cent exists through HBG’s generosity … Balmain does not put any money into the running of the WT or Balmain juniors rep teams
Excellent post Tom 👍, pointing out the facts of life re Wests and Balmain.

You make a lot of assumptions.

I don't care where they come from.

If you are happy with the status quo, why not make your argument rather than assume what I do and don't believe.
