TWO MORE INDUCTEES INTO BALMAIN HALL OF FAME

[Adman]

Just a quick one, how do you guys feel about long serving players who left the club and played against the Tigers being named in the hall of fame?

Tim Brasher for example, one of my favorite players but he chased the dollars at Souths, and delighted in playing in teams that beat us on several occasions.

What about Scott Prince, would you like to see him honored like this?

Just a thought, I welcome your opinion.

Brasher. My hero. Was devasteted when he left.

Spearby - whilst we all note the items you have indicated, there was a black footnote on Kevin Humphrey's administrative career. This link should explain more:

@Gary_Bakerloo I would hardly call taking over from Mal Fallon an accomplishment. Mal was unjustly dumped by Balmain. Kevin Humphries was the terminator. Then went on to wreak havoc on the Leagues Club. I would hardly call him a good candidate for HALL of FAME! Mal worked tirelessly for The Tigers and NSW rugby league for many years without getting the acknowledgement he truly deserved.

@willow Harry Bath only played 30 games for Balmain, they must of been great ones

It would be great to see Scott Gale in there at some point...

Blast from the past...

Awesome news… Buckets is the first Wests Tigers player to be inducted!

I wonder if someone like John Skandallis or Bret Hodgson can still qualify even though they started as Magpies before coming Tigers ???

I seriously hope you're just trolling happy. If not give yourself an uppercut.

They would be part of the Western Suburbs Hall of Fame which I understand Wests Tigers is also involved.

Eventually we will have a Wests Tigers Hall of Fame.

Which I hope all players who are currently members of the Tigers and Magpies Halls of Fame are included into also . We are one club now .

That's ridiculous - only players who have played for Wests Tigers would go in to a WT hall of fame.

My point at the time was people were saying that Magpies and tigers players couldn't become members of the hall of fame

But Skando and Hodgo both played for Wests .....Buckets and Benny Galea for Balmain

Why do some get that honour and others not

Don't see the big issue ....even now

Can you be expelled? Benny should be in the hall of shame for his post playing shenanigans

@Harvey Benny should be in the Hall of Infamously
