@smeghead said:The breach is bought about because the NRL in their wisdom refused to count the time at Balmain & Wests spent by Farah and Gibbs because they are not Wests Tigers is the basic gist I believe.
It is a breach, big deal. It is only money. Something we have alot more of now we have a decent sponsorship suite.

That is a pretty naive statement.
Whilst they met the criteria in 1999, Balmain merged as they knew they were not financially viable let alone competitive over the long term as a stand alone club in the NRL. Balmain needed to merge with someone and the option at the time was Parramatta.
What would you have preferred? Wests or Parra?

That is a fair chunk !!
@Gary Bakerloo said:@tiger4ever said:but im not the one that starts saying balmain were broke and west saved our ass which is not true.
But neither is this comment:
@tiger4ever said:it wasnt west that saved balmain it was the other way around just like dragons did to illawarra and manly to norths.
You can't blow up if someone claims Wests saved Balmain and then make the comment in reverse. Neither is correct.
@tiger4ever said:Neither is correct…..oh ok no worries then ah.You must be right
