Breaking news: HBG takeover

[GNR4LIFE]

you’re really missing the point.

Not when there are people fear mongering that the Magpies are coming back. That’s a pretty direct response.

 

[tigertragic]

Incorrect.
According to Read - “Two board members who APPARENTLY voted in line with their Tigers colleagues when it came to stadium strategy and jerseys”

He’s guessing there.
It makes more sense they they were out voted and ran upstairs to dob 🤔

Not according to Barry O

I remember when Elon first bought Twitter. He either fired half his staff or they quit, and everyone convinced themselves Twitter was going to be extinct in a matter of 24 hours. This has the same energy to it. Not saying it’s not a shit situation, but the club/WT’s aren’t going anywhere. That @tigahhh i will gaurendamntee.

Totally agree GNR

Some of the hysterical doomsday nonsense on this thread - it’s the Wests Tigers peeps - this is how we roll.

We’re famous for providing league lovers with gripping off-season entertainment. Kings of melodrama. 👍

It’s easy to go way OTT when you are emotionally invested in something. That’s not a criticism btw. It’s human nature.

Pretty sure HBG own Balmain Leagues Club now...

This is what I found -

"The Balmain Leagues Club is owned outright by the Balmain Tigers Football Club. However, the site of the former Balmain Leagues Club has been acquired by PERIFA, a Sydney-based property developer, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Asia (MEA), who now own the land for the Rozelle Village development."

To be fair i don't think you would find many ex Magpie supporters happy with this,most will be furious about it.

Nah, there's a significant faction who will be delighted such as Burgess, Cavanagh etc.

the magpie of the forum telling us there’s nothing to worry about after his side just sacked the independent members of our club. absolutely laughable

Mate a SIBERIAN tiger is mainly gold with white a secondary colour and black a tertiary colour.

Yes, thanks jt, you are 100% correct...I should have done a fact check first.

Benny would have sold it for 3k a month comm.

 

[supercoach]

It has to be remembered , if the Balmain board had not sent the club to the wall over the leagues club fiasco the events of yesterday would probably not happen. By that I mean our current board would be a fifty fifty split between both clubs with both clubs sharing the financial burden. At present it’s basically a Wests board and I guess they are paying the dollars so that is not unreasonable.

Of course there is a chance it could have been twice the shambles with two crap boards merging

I think you’re mistaking me for someone who thinks any of this stuff really matters.

It’s footy mate 🤷‍♂️

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

The NRL needs to step in asap and boot all of these clowns out and take full ownership over the club. It then should be called the Western Sydney somethings, not Tigers or Magpies they were both shithouse embarrassing teams anyway. Problem solved.

if the past 10 years have shown us anything it’s the front office matters when it comes to footy results

 

[Batmans Parents]

Of course we have the usual Magpie septuagenarians rearing their worthless heads. Just like their buddy, Denny ‘Shitstain’ Burgess, they don’t have the spine to be upfront.

Us actual Wests Tigers fans can take some solace in knowing most of these club cancers will be gone by the end of the decade.

they’re old as shit. surely the dinosaurs have started dropping off.

 

[Batmans Parents]

We can only hope. The harm they have done and continue to do to our club is disgusting.

This was a deliberate ploy by Burgess and his fellow walker buddies to destroy the little stability we had achieved over the last 18 months.
