This is 100% not a Wests vs Balmain thing. Balmain only have a token board membership, so it isn't to do with that at all. It is purely a Lee and Pascoe thinking they know better against Sheens and Benji. Basically Lee and Pascoe put Sheens and Benji into the position, they then went the way that they wanted to go, Lee and Pascoe don't like it, hired Fulton to be their guy picking their players, and it created a bigger divide.
The board should be stepping in, but with Lee as chair (plus major sponsor) and holding the power (it seems) they are just sitting back and doing nothing, while the club is falling apart.
Oh and Wests Ashfield seemingly ignoring it even more, even though they as the owners should be paying attention, but they don't seem to care.
