I have a conspiracy theory with him similar to that of Brooks.
There’s not. Pass.
He is an absolute windbag and a bore. A complete sook.
He's been saying that since day one. Doesn't mean anything is done recently
Harry Triguboff has been the great white whale for this club for decades, always the supposed answer to any financial problems. In that time, Balmain has gone bust with its club falling into ruin, we’ve nearly been run out of Leichhardt half a dozen times because the place is falling down, we had to lean on the state government to get a training facility built and I don’t know how many players have left or not signed because there are sweeter deals on offer elsewhere. At what point will you twig that just maybe Harry isn’t actually that bothered, or at least not to the point that he’s going to separate himself from the thing he really cares about ie his beloved money?
Harry has said he would contribute to bringing players to WTs as long as there are Balmain members on the WTs' Board. He is a self-made man and interestingly was born in China following his parents fleeing from Russia. He should be an inspiration to all of us.
There used to be Balmain members on the board all the time and... silence. And Balmain ain't coming back, whatever vague hints a nonegenarian might make about supporting them. If he was that bothered about Balmain he could have helped them out when they needed it, but... silence. Face facts: he's not lifting a finger. That's his call - it's his money - but there's no point deluding yourself about it.
I'm interested in the Wests Tigers, not anyone's personal feelings about billionaires. He may or may not be a great guy - doesn't matter to me.
Harry has been a long-time club sponsor and a great supporter of Balmain. I love his work. I am grateful for any assistance he is willing to offer the club and I have read Meriton may return next year to WTs as major sponsor. I hope this happens.
You'll notice that none of the actual club benefactors in the NRL - Politis, Laundy etc - are actually club sponsors. Why? Because being so expressly rules them out from providing the kind of assistance that actually gives the club an advantage ie topping up player salaries. "Players can earn unlimited amounts from corporate sponsors who are not associated with the club and who do not use the game's intellectual property": https://www.nrl.com/operations/integrity/salary-cap/
Are you sure about that? Laundy is the main jersey sponsor for Canterbury
Fair enough, I'll leave it up as a testament to not thinking that one through. I stand by my argument though: if Harry Triguboff was a "great supporter" of Balmain or Wests Tigers neither would be in the mess they are now.
You're discounting the fact that we are run by niff-nuffs at a board level. One look at their heads tells you they couldn't run anything that would be successful; let alone their record.
Rarely does a joke get funnier when you have to explain it Tito, but sometimes there’s the odd one that just keeps giving.
Maybe we should give him a certain level of control
Piastri got hosed by his own team on the weekend. Pretty much one of the dumbest pit calls I’ve ever seen .
I couldn’t help myself!!!!!
