Yeah i think everyone pretty much noticed that, could be reading too much into it im sure there's some body language experts here that will be analyzing it though.
Maybe it was Richo drawing a line in the sand and putting them on the spot in a public fashion, if it doesn't happen i fear he walks and we are in another world of hurt. I don't trust her in the slightest from what i've read and heard and now seen even though it was only a 10 min pod.
I think it would be a good idea to spam the comments section of the pod on youtube making feelings clear that it should happen and it will hit the fan if they don't. I have no doubt they will be monitoring public reaction there.

5:36 when baz was speaking & 7:22 Richo.

Sorta odd she did it twice both times when the same item was mentioned two minutes apart... I wonder if it was scripted.... Both times there were close ups of the person speaking and then both times panned wide to the whole desk almost to get reactions to the 4 Indies comments

Could be nothing could be coincidence

Balmain Leagues didn’t merge with Wests Ashfield (HBG). It couldn’t operate its main site at Rozelle, eventually bankrupt, and assets/liabilities bought by Wests Ashfield. There is no Balmain Leagues Club representation at Wests Ashfield.

Balmain Tigers Rugby League Football Club are a separate organisation with no ownership connection to Wests Ashfield. They relied on Balmain Leagues for funding, just like Wests Magpies do with Wests Ashfield, or Canterbury Bulldogs do with Canterbury Leagues, etc. But BTRLFC are like a bunch of old Greeks playing backgammon at the local Greek cafe. They have nothing to administer apart from maintaining a presence for Balmain Tigers. Wests Ashfield support any local junior teams in the Balmain district, and are happy to do so because some of those teams used to be in the old Wests Magpies junior catchment.

BTRLFC have a token 10% ownership in Wests Tigers, and a rep on WT board, but they have little influence. Wests Magpies have 90% ownership of Wests Tigers, and Wests Magpies are majority owned by Wests Ashfield. This is how board members at Ashfield are able to and insisting on wielding considerable power at WT.

G'day IF.......damn it.......I'm sucked in again 😱.

This is not the 1st time, or the 2nd time, or the 3rd time, but the FOURTH TIME I have asked this same question😡.

With reference to your last paragraph, whoops [I nearly said parra graph]
CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A REASONABLE AND FEASIBLE REASON WHY WESTS MAGPIES SHOULD NOT HAVE AT LEAST A CASTING VOTE ON OUR BOARD?

SURELY THE LEADERS of this latest reb****** being @Joel Helmes and @cochise should be capable of answering 🤔, but for some reason JOEL DOESN'T SEEM COMFORTABLE 🙄ANSWERING ANYTHING I put to him so mostly doesn't answer, and COCHISE gives VERY CONFUSING answers which could be an attempt to DEFLECT 🙁.

Thanks. I'd very much like the Balmain side to get back some more of the original stake for balance but I suppose now that would have to be driven by supporters funds as the club itself is out of business for a while by the sounds of it.

G'day magpies forever...with respect to you, I've been meaning to tell you for a long time I love your name.
But you're on the ....WTigersF.... and you seem to be so anti Magpie, why do you bother keeping your Magpie name?

Huh? Wests Magpies will have 2 seats. 1 for HBG, 1 for Wests cambo. They should have those seats. HBG will maintain some sort of 2nd layer of approval on significant budget or financial expenses above the club revenue i would assume. Although i think richo is trying to get us to break even.

But if we want to win, which is the thrust of the review, we need different skills on the WT board. Which will just make the football club decisions more independant. All the clubs will still have a voice.

I'd love to get to the point where we reduce to 1 club seat, which is just HBG / wests magpies.

most feasible reason to me is to keep the bastards honest from themselves

because the WT needs to be independent of the HBG , with the acknowledgement that for the past X amount of years , there’s been a skills shortage on the WT , which has led to poor decisions in both retention , the clubs direction .
This is no more evident than when tweedle Dee and tweedle dum thought it was a good idea to take all the journos in Sydney to lunch to ask what they think the tigers should do .
That’s not how professional boards and chairman’s should operate . The requisite skills and decision making should and must be kept in house , simply because it offers a corporate advantage to our competition( other clubs) simply by having the knowledge out the for what our intentions were .
The independent directors should have the required skills and knowledge of running a football club , not a leagues club (HBG) and lead the club to success .
This isn’t 1950 where the 2 clubs are similar and can be run by mum and dad .
An nrl club and its operations is nothing like a pokies den , and as such should have different people running it .
The HBG have thier representatives on the board to ensure thier interests are being met , and this should be enough .

Don't disagree with this but WA only has had majority control of football clubs going back to 1955 since 2019 with HBG.

Obviously a new structure certain issues have come to light which probably weren't foreseen in 2019.

The movement isn't a problem, it's the process.

Because they are dysfunctional, we need separation from all the ownership groups and it seems we may finally get it.

You would happily let Balmain die?
That tells me you still consider Balmain to still be a very real identity, maybe even more important than WTs possibly.
I can feel the fog lifting.

Mate seriously, give it a rest.
Your playbook is act like a goofy nice guy, wait for Joel or Cochise to post, attack them and then clutch your pearls when they respond.

No one is advocating for Balmain to come back. You and a few other hypocrites just love to moan about some perceived bias against the Magpies. Everyone wants to respect the past and move on!
Having you on ignore still shows that you have posted and makes it hard to read the thread when you respond by constantly dribbling.
