SMH Article 'We’ve lost faith in them’: Balmain consider shock exit from Wests Tigers merger

[innsaneink]

Yep agreed. The people that want to have factions can get fark off.

Knob head Leo shouldn’t be on the board. Who recommends going solo when you have no cash. What an idiot.

Yeah.... Get fark off

Bloody farken

 

[liltiger]

Well whatever cred. Gary Leo had has now vanished
Hell never. Live this down

I'll hazard a guess that Gary Leo won't be a Balmain board member / director for long.

I just read the chammas article on this, no way this could actually happen right? This would break me since I was born after the merger

 

[innsaneink]

Because the West side of things are far to strong, and have control of pretty much everything,
A couple Of years ago I stated on the forum that Western suburb influencers were trying to take total control and kill the Tiger side of West Tigers and bring the Magpies Back, and I was called all kinds of names, and here it is West have to much control and someone is trying to do something about it.

GARY LEO.

They are not for WEST TIGERS
They are for Western
suburbs MAGPIES.

Run along.fool

You don't even know our name correctly

If this would break you then definately you will need to change your call sign. Its an oxy moron. A paradox. @ Ezybro

But yet. It made the mainstream.

Did you mind in the early years when the NRL players who didn't make first grade played for Balmain in the reserves? I'm guessing you didn't.

I didn't mind. Apparently, because someone had the "brilliant idea" that there should be an equal balance it would have served up a constant reminder to those who did mind in the case of an imbalance. In addition, when it was discovered that Tim Sheens great uncle played fullback for Balmain in 1908 his goose was cooked. 🤣🤣

I never understood why Joel Caine was chosen over Brett Hodgson. Equal balance? Is this what you guys are implying.

No chance this will ever happen , the nrl won’t let it happen no matter what , the only thing that could happen is if the club was purchased by some Rich bugger , like Crowe and co , don’t panic , we hear for ever

Now we wait for a Wests Tigers statement to clarify the WT Board re-structure situation & progress of review recommendations.

Possibly some good news ... I was listening to the Matty Johns show on SEN late this morning during a long road trip and a disgruntled WT/Balmain called in. Show guest Webby (I assume it's Andrew Webster) responded saying we just need to be patient as a consultancy is currently tasked by the HBG with recruiting the 4 independent board members & that it's something that can't be fast-tracked to find the right people. May a couple/few months away but it is in process.

If that is the case, I don't know why O'Farrell or HBG rep can't come out & say this to put everyone's minds & emotions at ease.

no - they were discussing about getting media friendly heads on the board

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Sorry. My bad. Thanks Merlot. You have yourself a lovely weekend brother.

 

[ezybro]

Its hard to see and I understand the division but all I’ve ever known was west tigers and Benji, people don’t realise that a different generation is growing up

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Maybe the fossils dont like that.

 

[ezybro]

And Galvin younger then me so im sure he would feel the same lol

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Are you really sure?
