Great news

it makes sense seeing as wests magpies run around in Canterbury Cup that they still have a Tigers Leagues Club at Rozelle of some description. It doesn't sound like it will be a big club though

RE; Died pretty. -I believe older WEST TIGERS supportes previousy Magpie and Balmain supporters have moved from these areas,but would still be the majority fans wherever they are.AGE MAY WEARY THEM BUT WISDOM AND LOYALTY REMAINE wherever they are.

The tiger on the wall outside was pretty cool. They should incorporate that somewhere

It was.
I liked it
Very 50s


That's uuuglyyy

Much prefer the claw on the forum and the current logo!

It’s symbolic and the Wests group need somewhere to put the pokies they have in storage ... it will be small but as long as the pokies tick over that’s all that matters .
If it’s named Balmain leagues who cares it is just part of the bigger picture , just shows how irrelevant local gov is after all these yrs an appartment development is built after all the drama !

I would much rather grow the Wests Tigers brand and look to the future than continuously looking at a failed past.

doesn't Wests Ashfield have the magpie and the tigers and the tiger has black and white v
Wests campbletown doesn't have any tiger or anything at all
Honestly the Tigers leagues club at Rozelle will be small and a boutique club dont see the harn in calling it Tigers really
All the profits go to the Wests Tigers so all good

I don’t want to keep looking at the past wishing it wasn’t so. The future is this way >>>>>>

until they look at totally rebounding Canterbury cup team to wests tigers we will always be looking in the past

I drove past the site today and there is signage up all over the place saying Balmain Leagues is returning and this Web address plastered everywhere.

https://www.balmainleagues.com/

Seems it will be Balmain branded and not Wests Tigers which I find a little disappointing.

It's a business, the Tiger brand iconic in the Rozelle/Balmain area. The WTs' brand will be strengthened by its association with the Club.

Yeah, I understand that, just personally I would have loved a Wests Tigers branded club.

I find that extremely disappointing. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Yep

Mind you the link goes to the developers website which has nothing to do with the Wests Tigers or Wests Ashfield.

The link goes to the site for the development that is set up by the developer. It almost looks like the entire project is being called Balmain Leagues

That is probably the name of the project when first lodged with Planning, Environment and now also Industry.

The Rozelle and Balmain peninsula is an extremely different part of the world these days. Wests Tigers Leagues would be shunned. Balmain Leagues will fit that demographic much better.

Seems to me WA understand their market.

You are right in that regard, but I'd prefer Wests Tigers.
