As a neutral it doesn’t affect me but, this JV needs to be disbandoned. Whether it remains as West Tigers and plays at ONE home ground in the WEST, or plays as the Magpies at Campbelltown I don’t know. The WT’s problem is they’re spread too thin between 3 home grounds. Its roots are in opposite ends of the city with different needs and demographics.

I dont think the answer is to bring back the Magpies, but I agree that they should rework the brand. Rather than doing a 50/50 split if the brand or just ditching one entirely, they should find a brand that captures both clubs.

Id say:
- West Sydney Founders (Balmain and Wests were both in the NSWRL first season)
- West Sydney 1908s
- West Sydney United

Then do a logo with a tiger and a magpie (like a coat of arms)

as for the Grounds, now that the board is not split, surely they can create a unified vision rather than a permanent compromise

Dont Wests have full control already after the Balmain side if the JV couldn't meet their financial commitments

This whole discussion is foolishness.

The Barnes Holman group is literally named after one Balmain player and one Wests player.

Barnes Holman group owns Wests Ashfield but also other non Magpies branded assets. They are not
Western Suburbs Magpies but rather an entity that sits above Western Suburbs, Wests Ashfield
Croyden Sports, Markets Club and yes Wests Tigers NRL Club.

No one is going to undermine the primary strength of the branding, which is Tigers.

The NRL and Wests Tigers should refuse further accreditation to any journalist who knowingly
creates false news.

Every article has direct quotes so Journos aren't making stuff up, I agree it won't happen though but if board members are calling journos saying it then not much the NRL can do

Can anyone explain which directors belong to which factions?

I had assumed these were all the Balmain guys who had no i fluence and were having a whinge.

i have rarely seen worse reporting. Forget the making shit up, they cant even report clearly on their own bullshit
