Breaking news: HBG takeover

That doesn't help, mate. Allow me to balance the viewpoint and see the fireworks it creates . . .
Hapless, small time and incompetent, huh ? As opposed to Balmain . . . that beacon of competence and corporate brilliance.
I refuse to denigrate boobs. They are fantastic.
Like everyone else, I'm disappointed with all this and await the outcome. Hopefully it's not all doom and gloom.

Should be a time when we pull together as fans of one club and show the knuckleheads at the top it’s how we want it.
Also I just wanted to say I’m with you, I think milk trucks are fantastic too.

Lee mentioned the jersey a few years ago pasco tried to introduce some orange to the nsw cup jersey and the western suburbs magpies faction had a meltdown
clowns
Lee also mentioned ultimate goal was to return Magpies to nrl and remove the tiger
he thought a 50 - 50 chance in 2028 wests tigers will be wests magpies in nrl

Does anyone actually think the Maggie’s will return though, I thought the nrl ultimately has control of the license and wants a tigers team, so unless wests break off I thought there were tied in the merger
 
I was hoping for a nice quiet off season with some training photos , maybe a player of 5 interview , updates on new players settling in like Guyer and co , full off season for the boys , it looked like this was starting to happen , big Royce looking fittest I’ve seen , AD back in training looking strong and bang , shit show is back , I just can’t believe any board member would want to start shit every year and now of all times pre season , couple spots left for maybe a quality player etc , who ever has done this needs to go , but the NRL needs to step in now as this is just a joke , place was humming along , PV needs to come down hard as this is just disgusting again , I was hoping this year for me would be enjoyable as I don’t have a lot of time but again some one with power just decided to throw a curve ball in , i feel for all our supporters

the nrl hold the wests tigers licence.
I guess if HBG went to nrl and said look this is what we want to do we want to bring back the magpie, the nrl might let them do it.
It would allow the nrl to in theory use the Tiger IP elsewhere if they did that

it is the brain dead magpie element, they absolutely cannot help themselves

Personally, I can’t see the NRL allowing a return of Wests Magpies to the top comp. It’s WT or nothing I reckon,

When did Wests take majority ownership, around 2015? So 10 years ago. Every time there is a a flare up with the board, people think the sky is falling and that they are trying to bring back the Magpies. Like gun nuts in the US crying “They’re trying to take our guns”. No they’re not. Nor are the Magpies coming back. The race to victimhood is a fascinating human trait.

they could have both if western suburbs stay put and they let Brisbane tigers in (has the Richo connection )
yes currently linked with perth however nrl can rectify that, perth are not even in comp yet.
East's tigers have more cash than Redcliffe and big club
it would get 20 teams and another team in Qld
 
I think we have to accept HBG has assumed full control and it's only the fact that WTs has developed a fan base over the last 25 years that realistically it would be disastrous for the club to revert back to the Magpies - not only alienating old Balmain people but also the legit WTs supporters and may even impact the licence from the NRL. (Perfect opportunity to relegate a Sydney club and put resources elsewhere)
We can also assume there will be no more external reviews.

Based on a few board members being told to kick dirt? Not a chance.

the independent board was the reason shane joined the club. if our ceo leaves and we are back under the control of the dinasours that were involved in the past 10 years of failure why would it be any different.

The Richo stuff is hearsay.
