Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

[Lestronge]

What ? There is no Balmain side nor is there a magpies side . There’s old dinosaurs selfishly clinging to memories form 25 years ago and everyone else !
You’ve been told this 100 times yet it goes in 1 ear and out the other . Absolute oxygen thief !
If you’re not advocating for a united Wests tigers then you’re basically saying F-U to the voiceless , the kids of today and the ones who arnt born yet , who just wanna be like thier hero’s Jahrome Luai , Api Korisau and the future face of the franchise Lachlan Galvin ! They don’t care nor even know who Balmain is nor the magpies ;
Source- my own children . “What’s a Balmain , they’re a coffee shop I saw a petrol station “ . Litterally last week that conversation happened .
Wake up to yourself !

After Terry Lamb left?

Yes

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Damn Suzie. You missed the toughest year. On the other hand Your energy amongst all the others propelled us to the maiden voyage. Thank You. Look at you today.

Call me stupid, but I just want my team to win.

Winning is the only KPI that matters.

The current board has overseen three wooden spoons. If Wests Tigers were a publicly listed corporate, they would be long gone.

This shouldn't be a Magpies thing or a Balmain thing.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Its not a Wests or Balmain thing. Its about a few people. That's all. We wish it was about Wests Tigers.

 

[Tito Santana]

It’s rare I wish genuine hardship on people but the board deserves it. The board doesn’t reflect the attitude of the fans at all. The fans want the Wests Tigers to thrive. Not the Balmain Tigers, not the Wests Magpies. It’s the Wests Tigers baby!

I reckon the fans should storm the HBG office Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon supporter style. I’m going to buy one of those awesome wolf head hats - and a spear for extra dangerousness!

What I really don't get is why is there so much cross pollination between the Wests / HBG Boards?
It's has to be nothing more than self interest....
Burgess, Mongomery and Tropiano on the Wests Footy Board
All 3 of the Above on the HBG Board (Burgess Deputy Chair)
Burgess and Montgomery on the WT's Board (For Now)

The Wests Footy Board also has the likes of Cavanagh and Luibinskas
(Already been a WT's board Member)
Are we taking bets on whos spot they're lining up to take on the HBG or WT's Boards?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Power. Property. Greed. Bills. Food. New cars. Holidays. Standing on a pedestal at gatherings. Nothing to do with us. Batboy

It isn't.... Only a few fossilised trolls making it so

I think they're over complicating everything so much just to keep people other than their supporters at arms length

Sadly what I was worried about since this process started.

It will probably get worse as more people lever off process.

Any public process like this was always going to be destabilising in a JV with a broad fanbase.

And Sadly peoples true colours are coming out in this forum........seems anyone not fully onboard petition/review process even if supportive in a nuanced way gets abused and shouted down.

Very disappointing, and this BS is actually turning me off club.

There has not been one thing to prove anyone from the Balmain side has instigated this or even shown interest in it.
It’s rubbish.
The sooner this board is cleaned out the sooner it all goes away.

 

[cktiger]

The truth at last… he stands with Julie and ‘Denny’. 🤣

They're not over complicating it - They're mainlining it.

If you don't support them, you won't exist....
Get a posie on the same page, then have them making the same decisions for everyone.
Everyone knows their place and the hierarchy is never challenged.

What they do when Richo and BOF walk has me curious....

 

[batboy]

Are you that lifeless that you're just scouring old posts to reply to?

Go back to 2010/2011.... Those discussions would be right up you're ally....
- Spoiler Alert, They ended up making the Magpie a tiny bit Bigger for you all

I agree

Wow,

So what have the WT board changes got to do with an external bid?

Is there an attempt to lever off this powerplay with anything to do with the review recommendations?

The only reason there is any talk at all about an external bid ( true or not) is the current board’s ineptitude and division.
It invites others to try to divide the merger even more.
