To be honest the Balmain side of this venture are just PURE SCUM.


Have a huge soft spot for the Wests but the other side are just horrid.

As a kid I was a Balmain supporter, I still have 1989 PTSD hahah

Had 2 wonderful Aunts and an Uncle who were passionate Wests supporters during the Tommy era.

A bit rich for Luai to be having a dig at someone for wanting to play in a different environment.

Last time a Tigers five eighth managed by Moses was off contract the efforts were questionable.

Api and Luai both gave their all in the final years of contracts for us.

I dare say they can spot when someone is checking out.

Everybody should have access to private education if they can afford it. I just don't want it to paid for by the taxpayer. Parents whose kids attend public school pay taxes, so arguing they pay nothing is incorrect. It is your choice to pay extra to get the best outcome for your kids.

We do the strangest things in our economic system. During the 80's, I remember filling out a tax return for a very wealthy CEO in my days at Price Waterhouse, he got a spouse rebate on an income of $500k the same as my Dad, working as a bricklayer on $50K. Who comes up with this rubbish?

Here we are in 2025 and somebody is getting a $7,000 subsidy to send their kids to a school that charges $56k a year. Just crazy.

The governments subsidise every kid's education. They just slash the subsidy if you decide to go private. In your eyes, slashing the subsidy isn't enough. You want it eliminated. That's fine. We disagree.

I miss this guy so much

Sorry, but couldn't give a flying fig about a bloke who no longer plays for Penrith.

Now IF he decides to come back, that's a different story.

What an awful attitude

What an awful attitude

How amusing. Chins continues to sit in judgement on the opinions of others.

Is Luai going to help Penrith win games in 2025 ? The short answer is NO.

He's yesterday's fish and chip paper to me. He no longer plays for Penrith.... therefore his goings and comings to me are totally irrelevant.

If Luai chooses to come back to Penrith, well that's another story.

Players that have achieved what Jerome has for Penrith should be loved for eternity.

Where did I say he's not loved. You've jumped the gun here, and read into my comments, things that weren't there.

I love Luai.

Do I care about what he's doing at W/T's. The short answer is NO.

I loved him when he wore our colours and jersey. I still love him for his efforts and what he achieved at Penrith.

Many different types of love.

I care about who is wearing the Penrith jersey here now, in 2025.

I live in the present. The here and now.

Why is there a view that Galvin isn't putting in this year? He's been playing well as far as I can tell, certainly not lacking in effort.

It probably wasn't wise for his manager to publicly state he didn't want to play under Benji, and I can understand his team-mates being disappointed, but is he actially wrong? He's not playing for the Storm. He's been dealing with that basket case of a club at a much closer distance than any of us for a long time.

I've got nothing against Luai looking to step out of Nathan's shadow. I can completely understand wanting to cement your own legacy at that stage of your career, rather than just be the guy who just played with the best halfback of all time. A bit of extra cheddar doesn't hurt either. I wish him all the best.

Just weird to have a pop at a guy who appears to be doing the same.

Exactly. I've never known a supporter base to 'eat their own like W/T do'

I blame the Balmain side of the venture for this.

19 year old 25 game Galvin has been uncomfortable with the close relationship between his legendary former premiership winning 5/8 now coach and his 4 time premiership winning co-CAPTAIN! who he begrudges having control of the team over him. That has been there since Jarome arrived. How on earth did WT screw anything up here ?
Richo acted swiftly and emphatically and life goes on...Latu Fainu and Jarome are tight...he's another 19 year old gun and they will kill it.

Where did I say Chins that I didn't love him.

Again you're reading things into my comment, that just aren't there.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Could insta posts like this be seen as bullying a 19 year old kid.

Nah, there's way more to it than just him being jealous of Jarome and Benji. That's a fisher price take on the situation. Aside from anything else, he was willing to come to Penrith last year where the 4 time premiership winning co captain is literally the coaches son.

He just doesn't want to play for the Tigers. Your club aving an epic sook about it is pretty funny from our vantage point too. Poor diddums lost a talented youngster? Please. You're not going to get any sympathy here.

Don't think there's all that many having a sook about it at all...moreso just pissed at another Moses engineered disruption.
Hey...not looking for sympathy here....but more than happy to give some if you need it

Not a dig at you personally really. As much as reaction to the "poor Tigers" stuff going around in the media and anything else.
