Revealed: Secret bid to buy battling Tigers

[TigerTownSFS]

If it gets rid of our board I’m all for it

I was listening to the first and last podcast , and they coached the sg ball team from Wests last year , and they reckon the crap infighting at the lower levels is still going on . Not to mention dinosaurs in powerful positions , still thinking it’s the magpies , and hating on Balmain . And I’d assume vice versa at BJLD.

We need to build an academy at Campbelltown . Have 2 Wests tigers teams run around in Matt’s and ball , comprised of merged players from both districts . An A team and a B team . And Bus the kids out there from Balmain . It’s no different than Manly bussing thier kids in from all over Sydney a few times a week. (It has to be 2 teams as , parents would remove thier kids from both districts if opportunities for rep honours are halved ) .

It would give us a true presence out west , get rid of the really bad management of Wests JRL , at least in a junior pathways sense , and a 1 club identity .
U20s Wests tigers , reserve grade Wests tigers , Ron Massey cup Wests tigers , Matt’s Wests tigers , Sg ball Wests tigers , Tarsha Gale Wests tigers etc)

It would also be much like MLB , that when you got the tap on the shoulder to go to the NRL training (which would probably be the reserve grade team as well ) it would be a pathway as well , and a pursuit that kids could see . Ie. the Bus to concord , or training at concord .

I always thought the Wests side of the merger were far too attached to the magpie , even though they got the name . It’s ridiculous really , as neither Balmain nor the magpies are EVER coming back .
There’s a guy who was on the rugby league digest , talking about Wests and how he could never support the tigers , because nobody chants “Wests” at games ? Like what the hell ? He’s my age . Mid 30s . In 2000 I was a teenager . I’ve been supporting Wests longer than I have Balmain . Anybody who thinks like this needs to be removed from the club . I’m not saying disregarding the history , but rather holding onto it like it’s a badge of honour .
Otherwise if we can’t do that , we should just move to Perth . Seriously . Wests Magpies are dead sorry. Nobody cares under 35. Balmain Tigers are dead . Nobody cares under 30. And they’re the ones who will take the club into the future . My son would follow us , if we were good . He’s 7 . He doesn’t want to go and watch his dads team lose all the time . He said his team is the panthers , cause his friend said they win all the time and are the best .

Sorry about the rant , but I’m so over this garbage .

I was pretty shocked listening to the West’s podcast regarding the vitriol to west’s tigers. I googled him and he is a mad Storm supporter apparently which was concerning because he has/had a senior role in the Western Suburbs junior rugby league club unless I’m mistaken

Are you talking about Gobbs?

I’d like to know more about the consortium to buy WT’s. The current WT board isn’t working. Period. Still evidence of a leaky ship and I don’t think that will ever change with this board.

Reading posts against it just based on Benny’s name is silly. There would be some very serious people involved with Benny.

Anyway, I can’t see Ashfield selling any time soon.

interesting if WA bought it for 8 and they can sell it for 10 making a 2 million profit as if they wouldn't take a good look

Well if was me I wouldn’t sell when we are at rock bottom, I would sell when we are going much better - I’d get a much better price offered.


So you’d hang on for another 20 years?

20 years pphhhttt

We’ve come ninth how many times? You’d get a better price than right now.

Lol. Good lucky backdoor Benny.

10 mill gets him the naming rights to the shitter block at Leichhardt

The grass area could be renamed the Benny Hill -another comedian.

To those saying it's already rejected, think again.

Today was the formal pitch to the WA board. Over 2 hours.

The board is meeting again in a few days to determine what action to take next.

I still reckon it's highly doubtful, but who knows until we get any of the details.

Odd how channel 7 reported it as a “Secret” meeting but knew how long it went for and just exactly when BB would be exiting for a surprise interview. Comedy hour!

I’d be interested to know how much it’s worth. It doesn’t really have significant bottom line profit. Anyone have a link to their financials? (if publicly available).

I liked the surprised look on his face when he walked out.

I don't think Wests Ashfield would give Benny 50.4% of the Tigers, that would mean them losing control they might sell 49 or 50%.

Funnily enough he tried to sell the board of Wests Ashfield their own Leagues Club.
