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

[BAGNF05]

Legit story or AI generated rubbish?

I was a Balmain fan, 25 years ago! Get rid of the dinosaurs in our club FFS.

Don’t let this idiot trigger you. The best way to respond to people like this is with mockery.

Respectfully as someone who was born after the merger eff both Wests & Balmain. I promise you in 20-30 years no one is gonna give a shit about these two washed up clubs. Why can’t these dinosaurs ever seem to move on from the past & move forward AS WESTS TIGERS. This is the most optimistic time to be a fan & AGAIN THEY ARE LETTING STUPID POLITICS GET IN THE WAY

I was 20 when the merger happened but I share the same opinion
they are definitely letting stupid stupid stupid get in the way

I was going to say something about the fans who ONLY follow Wests Tigers. Like you, and me. I am much older than you, and have followed footy since the 70s, but I've been a Wests Tigers fan since 2002. I couldn't give 2 hoots about WM and BT. I wish WT was all grades. I think WT really needs to plan for and look towards the future, and if that means 1 new home ground, 1 KOE, 1 JF, etc, team, then I'm for it.
*waits for the backlash*

Just when things were sounding positive for our club for a change...

I couldnt give a shit tbh...watching this club lurch from one disaster to another ...it hasnt been enjoyable for a long time.

Anyway nothing will come of Leos fantasies

[tigers.]

I was a balmain supporter but this ridiculous, we are the West Tigers now . Michael Chammas must be struggling for news story's 😄 idiots

There are probably a few things you can point to to support the fact we are a basket case, but one 80 year old lunatic who is still stuck in the 60‘s and 70’s, publicly fantasising about ending the JV is not one of those things.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Seriously why is it just our lot? How come we never hear about St George & Illawarra doing all this bullshit

it certainly doesn't help alleviate the perception

I was a Balmain Supporter, living and playing in the Penrith catchment (brainwashed by my old man) and I was upset when we were forced to merge. However, it was either support the joint venture or start follwing another club. So the JV it was and I have not looked back (although I secretly do wish that we would revert bock to Black, White and Gold).

Kich the dinosours into touch!

 

[yeahcaz]

Such a great look for the potential signings or key re signings lately.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Perception from who? The 50 people besides all of us who actually read the article and care enough to not to go on with their day the moment they are done with it?

Who blamed Chammas 😄 just saying must be a slow day at the office to even give this air . You ok 😄 ?

 

[gallagher]

It's probably the best if Balmain leave is that's what they want. We will continue on as wests tigers though.

 

[jrtiger]

put a bullet in me.

Yeah for sure, just hope it doesn't affect any of the current player recruitments , things are starting to look positive
