Would you care if the club was absorbed by another club?

[Tito Santana]

I just can’t see a way out of it for the club. They’re just so backwards.

 

[BAGNF05]

They’ve been brave most of the year. For a side that lacks class players, losing two of our best is just a bridge too far.

 

[jadtiger]

It would be the end of me as a supporter of a football club.I have accepted a partnership of my team/club once i will not accept it twice.

Yep. The depth just isn’t there and hasn’t been since forever. Just when we start to build a bit of promise and competition for spots, the vultures pick the eyes out of us.

 

[Harvey]

No. particularly if the first absorbed was the ownership structure and board

 

[Spacecub]

No personally I think it should happen enough is enough

No Luai
No Api
No Bula

Three of our best four players gone. Next week could be ugly as the Roosters have their entire spine intact.

 

[Juice]

The excuses of having players out just doesn’t cut the mustard when you lose by 18 to a team with a forward pack of Waddell, Brown, Lodge & Sipley… literally reserve grade standard that should be steam rolled

 

[GNR4LIFE]

That’s all we need. 25 years and there are still people bickering. Imagine merging with another club and beginning another 25 years of infighting cos there isn’t enough orange in the jersey.

 

[Tucker]

If it happens, can it be Penrith?

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if we got folded. We could all move on with our lives with one less burden to worry about. It's like when a close relative of yours has been suffering with dementia for a long period of time. When they finally kick the bucket you're sad, but it's a relief.

As I said in another thread, if HBG aren’t serious about the NRL then no, I wouldn’t care. If the WT are going to be run on the smell of an oily rag, then sooner or later I can see me watching less and less of this team. It’s been a long, long slow and painful slog and to then see we are still 17th in a lot of performance areas gives me no hope for the future. To think we run with one recruitment officer compared to 4,5,6 or 7 of other clubs and think we will compete is treating supporters of the club with contempt. Get serious about the NRL or get out.

 

[Winston Churchill]

Id have a guess that half of the supporter base at this stage couldn't give 2 shits.

The only way maybe this can happen is if NRL split the licence next time it’s up for renewal between HBG & Brisbane Tigers if the BT financials are too good to ignore & the WT club continues to struggle. Team just becomes Tigers and still owns the Inner West to Macarthur regions plus East Brisbane. Just a thought, no political motive.

 

[Flippedy]

I would rather they fold altogether than merge again. There is no point to having this club in the NRL except for comic relief.

 

[gallagher]

Who would want to absorb us? Seriously? What would anyone gain from it?

Look the Oklahoma City Thunder (formerly Seattle Supersonics) just won the NBA. Was a long time between NBA titles for their supporters (1979 as Seattle I think).

 

[Squater]

Great what we need a 3 way battle in the board room

Many many seasons at the bottom as well .
The issue is talent distribution in the nrl . It’s more akin to Premier League than us sports . The bottom clubs being feed teams for the top 6 .
I’m hoping that when the teams go to 20 , that 2 conferences are created / 4 divisions of 5 . Only then do I see the league finding parity . Or trading players …… we could have traded Galvin and TDs and got draft picks back/ players .

 

[TIGERS]

What an abstract question. We'd be an absolute Russian doll of a club, but sure. Just keep Denny Burgess out of my life.
