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

TIGERS said:
Where are those thousands of Wests Tigers fans that demanded the external review?? Is it time to turn the blowtorch on to HBG now?

Yes. I think that's the reason these latest emails have been leaked.

The 'let's bring Balmain back' clownshow isn't the point, the lack of independent board members and inability/unwillingness to implement the review recommendations is.
 
How many emails do we thinks Chammas has up his sleeve ? Given its only Friday I'd suggest a few more. No chance this rubbish is dead and burried yet.

What concerns me is the silence from West's Tigers and the Holman Barnes Group. They could nip it in the bud real quick if they wanted too.

It's time the Waring dinosaurs on both sides to go the way of the Dodo's !!!!
 
Balmain said they wanted to go solo, & now its actually
all because Wests haven't implemented the reviews
recommendations? Yeah, not sure about that hey.
 
Balmain owns 10 per cent of the Wests Tigers, with the other 90 per cent owned by the Holman Barnes Group – of which 30 per cent is owned by the Western Suburbs Magpies.

HBG acquired 15 per cent of Balmain’s previous share in 2019 when it agreed to pay off Balmain’s $3.2 million debt to the NRL, handing Balmain its 10 per cent share without charge.

What the devil is Balmain on about? The first article
that was posted yesterday didn't mention anything
about implementing recommendations if I'm not
mistaken, the whole article revolved around balmain
flying solo. Club (WT) can't come out and say much
while we prep for a big game next week. Makes u sick

Bring it on. Please oh please make this happen. The merger hasn't worked. It has no soul. People talking about all the fans and sponsors walking away are kidding themselves. What matters is success. If the Balmain Tigers (one of the most iconic 'brands' in rugby league potentially playing out of the most iconic suburban ground in rugby league) go it alone and, god forbid, manage to make the finals more regularly than three times every 25 years, then they will have a massive (existing - both pre and post merge - and new) fanbase. Please Harry, kill this pathetic chimera and bring back the (proper) Tigers.

People who aren’t Wests Tigers shouldn’t be part of the club.

Maybe there would be some empathy if it was at the most 2010 , but it’s 2024 ! Seriously I have zero empathy for the guy . If at this point you haven’t mentally made the switch than that’s on you .
I found it really frustrating that his own personal disconnection to the club was phrased as a universal disconnect , and then he/she perpetuated that agenda as a given .
Pretty selfish and entitled imho .
