We won but lost on Sunday. Is that because we are perceived as losers?

I will give a little insight into our gallant leader Vlandys. I have known him for 50 years. His brother Paul is still a mate of mine. Peter started out as a tax accountant with Hackelton and associates. from there he was catapulted to the head of NSW trots. Didn’t think much of it at the time but looking back it was one hell of a jump. How did he get that high so quick. Did he know the right people? He then went on to Racing NSW once again a huge jump as didn’t do a lot for the trots. Surely he knows the right people because he got the NRL job as well.
no one I know can remember his ruba league career
he was a very ordinary tax accountant but has managed to climb the ladder very easily. That’s his good luck but at the end of the day it’s our bad luck because we are stuck with him.
when he first got the job I posted that he would have some crazy ideas. I was hoping I was wrong but now I don’t think I was.
the whole rise to power seems suss to me but you can make up your own mind I am just letting people know his background. Before anyone can say I am only jealous of his success let me say you are right. I would love to be in charge of the NRL and I am sure I couldn’t do any worse

Exactly.
Move on ffs and if others don't get it right all the time, have a look in the mirror, because the person looking back at you is similarly flawed.

Peter V is purely the frontman for the real power brokers of the game. I doubt he knows much about the game at all. He is there to talk the talk.
The real power brokers are the media people who own the game along with a few influential people like uncle Nick. Peter V does what he is told to do, it’s a stepping stone to bigger boardrooms around town

At the risk of getting attacked I think the only people who still get upset by these slips ups are the ones who still can't quite accept the merge -for what ever reason. The longer we last as Wests Tigers the less those who are still irked by what was the inevitable, will be around to lament when we were single entities.
How's the Forresters Beach team going?

I'm pretty sure Smeg once said we needed to rename ourselves to the Western Balmain Cat-Birds.

If ever we needed proof that we'll bend everyone's ear over nothing on this forum, this thread is it.
Why not just move this to a 'Nostalgia' thread and that way you can sing Rod Stewart whilst drinking KB and watching re-runs of the 1977 Amco Cup through your rose-coloured glasses to your heart's content.
Tongue in cheek aside, that would actually be a decent yarn-producing thread.

Don't know why but I realled hated KB in the gold cans. Really don't enjoy any canned or bottled beer all that much. Tooheys New draught is my favourite.

KB was right up there in the worst beer ever made. Sadly now all I can drink is very expensive craft beer..IPA’s in particular. Once you drink quality very hard to go back. Good thing most of the craft beer is big on alcohol so you don’t drink nearly as much

I'm impressed that after 23 years, we can all still manage to perpetrate 7 pages of wests/balmain hype....
