Have you seen the disaster that is on Victoria Road and has been for years? You wouldn't want Elias having control of anything to do with Wests Tigers.

I have but I’ve also seen the disaster on parramatta road, and I think it’s worse.


Do you mean Concord? If so you have to be kidding. It will be a place for elite athletes and occupied by the Wests Tigers. The buildings are progressing well and within a short period of time of it being announced. The exact opposite to what Elias has had a hand in on Victoria Road.

I was referring to administration rather than the physical structure.

Still better than anything Elias touches.

You did a brilliant destruction when you were involved in the Balmain Tigers Club Benny. Now you want to do the same for Wests Tigers.

Whatever happened to the redevelopment plans for the Balmain Leagues club?
 
When approached, Ben was caught off guard and could only work three cliches into his reply.

But this is a good sign for WTs that businessman are interested in our club. Souths have flourished since. Crowe took over.

It is a difficult site for a variety of reasons.

Thanks. Recall seeing an article shared on the forum last year about the approval, but nothing since then.

Benny would buy it then sell it for a $1..

As a collective , I reckon the punters on this forum could scrape together 10million ..
Even Rex from Gladstone could chip in 1 dollar 💵.
 
Looking forward to seeing Benny at LO with another one of his petitions. He and his extended family should be gifted to Souffs.

He can buy the Eels for his nephew.

Not sure I agree with that. I think it would be impossible to do worse than what our current ownership/board have done.

I don't. I whinge a lot about our current board and structure but it is infinitely better than anything associated with Elias. Be careful what you wish for, it could be much, much worse.

It couldn’t be worse. It’s impossible.

Development application passed council. Current hold up is state government have flagged they may (probably) want to forcibly acquire the site for the construction of the western harbour tunnel though official process hasnt commenced. If they don't acquire it - construction can commence. If they do - approx 7 year delay.

Unfortunately it's not. There would be only one way the Wests Tigers would end with Elias at the helm and that is very badly. You could kiss the club goodbye.

We won’t survive with the current ownership imo.

Well we disagree on that account.

Now I understand why no one was exactly excited about the news, given the process/timeline.
