This has been a problem before the merger between Balman and West and has not stop been a problem since West are controlled by the silent faceless men and all that have appointed are YES people and nothing else. The problem is and only would get sorted if the Rich supporters we have brought the club outright as nothing will change why people current boards exist in there current format.

It really is mate. You look at the other 3 and they are all quite respectable. David Gilbert is a gun to have there. I've had a dig at Tony A in the past, due to being a real estate agent, but he is one who did the right thing.

They just need 1 person to come to their senses in that 4 and tip the scale back. I hope Stephen or Vince might be it - but given they are a car service manager and a lawyer, I'm not sure "doing the right thing" is in their blood.
Romero better fix this.

Surely there’s a legal requirement that they act in the best interest of the football club. I wonder if anyone around here has some expertise?It really is mate.

How long before the NRL says
…”you know what Wests Tigers, Western Suburbs and Balmain? You’ve all brought this code into disrepute for years, you are a shameful embarrassment and we’re sick to the back teeth of you all. You can all Fark off. The game will be better off without you.”

What a joke we are Wests Tigers now and this is from a old Balmain Tigers fan.
Mate go a step further and see if you can reach out to the club to get feedback from members.. send out a poll or something.
I am from the balmain side originally and as far as I'm concerned, if balmain are the cancer, then cut them off, but keep the name wests tigers.
Old mate thinking he'd sell out leixhardt every 2nd week is dreaming, you'll lose more than half the fan base from the tigers side alone!!!

Surely this muppet could have waited till after the season
Why ? Because the Balmain side are having a cry ? They have one rep on the board . And what’s thier play ? That they’re going to take back the tiger ? How ? The franchise Wests Tigers is owned predominantly by HBG , because those dum dums let Back Door Benny bend them over 20 years ago .
The Wests tigers have a COE , a second one being built , they’ve negotiated the LO upgrade ( wasn’t Balmain - not even a little bit ) and the biggest thing I’ll say one more time to all the dinosaurs on here or anywhere , maybe passing through and reading whatever …….
IF YOU ARE 48 Or Under YOU HAVE SPENT MORE OF YOUR LIFE ASA WESTS fan THAN a BALMAIN FAN!!!
Chuck in the fact most kids don’t really pick a team u til they’re 8-10 , that number is literally 55 years old !!!!!!
No ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT BALMAIN or The MAGPIES! Who is actually going to drive the economics of a functioning football club ….
The timing of it. Fair enough I didn’t realise every 5 years.
But what are the conditions for renewal?

No, because the independent board appointments STILL haven't been made.
I came from the 'Balmain side' and I am sick of this factional bullshit. Both clubs were irrelevant losers at the time of the merge 25 years ago (and sadly sod all has changed!)
Garry Leo 1969 premiership front row legend and not a dope, but looks like a strange move after year.s of cementing the merger
