I believe the club is looking to do away with these events…they see it as past its use by date
@Gobbs said:Once a year, worn on an annual basis against Balmain's and Western Suburbs' nemesis in Souths and Manly. As much as i agree that it is important for Wests Tigers to establish their own history and rivalry, you can never shy away from the past. That's that makes this club special. It's a combination of two founding members of the game. Both clubs should be allowed to preserve their history and brand through its own entity that they share. It sends a message to the game that both Football club's are still alive and kicking thanks to the Joint Venture. And for added incentive, it generates plenty of publicity; public interest, atmosphere and gets bums on seats when the rivalry is spoken about. The hatred between Souths and Balmain which dates back to 1909 and the bitter angst between the Silvertails and the Fibros of social class warfare in the late 70's; both these occurrences are apart of Rugby League folklore. That's what Rugby League has over its competitors. It's tradition and history; And that will never be matched by its rival codes. Respect the Past, Embrace the Future. That's the mantra that Wests Tigers Marketing Department should have at the forefront of their marketing mix and strategies.

Hi everyone
I absolutely agree with that. Let's get a Wests Tigers tradition going.
It's been 10 years…...
I support Balmain and go to their State Cup matches - that gives me my Balmain fix.

If so, have they ever played Canberra at Leichhardt?
