Wests Tigers Legend Pin

[Fade.To.Black]

I understand we have to move on,and i encompass the amalgamation,but their is no reason to diminish the past of two great clubs and the brilliant players who seem to be forgotten.Saintgeorge/Illawarrarra still talk of Gasnier,Raper and Langlands with pride ,why can,t we. Lets grow up and enjoy our history,two of the great clubs and joining as one.

St George Illawarra still hark back to the glory days of St George because they'd know in their heart of hearts that the "merged" ......ahem takeover... teams' one premiership in 2010 was a virtual gift from the NRL. The leg-ups they received en route to the title were immense and embarrassing.

OF course and i love the merger of two great sides,but the great players of the past were the foundation of the great west tigers and should be included and not forgotten,. We have been united as one for a long time now, **time to put pettiness aside**.

"All forgotten because of stupidity"

Yes..... Indeed

Maybe time to move on - - - - >>> forward

Challenge coins would be a good idea...

You'll be suggesting a WT's board game next

Wouldn't that be laugh "Squad walking on eggshells ...take 4 steps back "

As long as it's not a WT snakes and ladders. It'd take a decade or more to finish.

People still arguing over Balmain/WS not being relevant anymore forget that the Wests Tigers board are actually made up from Western Suburbs and Balmain representatives with a couple of independents thrown in.

And Wests Ashfield money controls the Wests Tigers.

Just seems our past really does control our future.

That'd be a great idea......"you signed Braith Anasta, go back to start".

Jo Tiger,-Noel KELLY one of the toughest front rowers ever.Peter Diamond a beast and brilliant centre.Tommy Radonikis tough and underated in other areas, JOHN ELLFORD created the crash tackle and terrorised the Poms.Benny Ellias ,changed the way hookers played -a genious.Geoff Starling starred on Kangroo tour,got glandular fever never to play again 17yrs old.Fullbacks for AUS before Teddy,Barnes also captain,Gary Jack -rates best player in the world by poms,Brasher.Sirronon rated best forward in the world by Poms The list goes on.All forgotten because of stupidity.

Disagree - loved the old day and the old players - but they were for the old clubs.

We are now Wests Tigers and focus should be on the players that have played for this club.

Be it we only have 3 legends max - think they could have gone too early on the pin myself.

It really is only about generating that sense of our own history, once those 3 are recognised I would start looking at some of the Premiership winning players. Surely Scott Prince being a premiership winning captain deserves some recognition as well, even Tim Sheens could probably be used as well.

Then maybe "Legend" is the wrong word. Maybe they should call the pin "Great Players" - there is a difference.

I think that the Pin collection should instead be Memorable Nufties. (edited be not by)

 

[jadtiger]

I think that the Pin collection should instead by Memorable Nufties.

Then the club could merchandise them as "Buy the whole collection all 250 of them"

 

[happy_tiger]

WT's legend's ...the term is being used loosely nowadays ......list them on the back of a postage stamp lol

I’d rather receive a Bunnings gift card

BCF card

They use the term legend I think to look forward into the future where people may look back on those pins and see those 'great players ' as legends
