I Come Back To Visit Old Memories And....

Well i have come here to vsiit old memories of the rleague forums. I have really, really been missing them, and the people on them. I check the select a forum list, and I see emeging states, an rleague creation, proposed by me, rejected, proposed by Lewis and accepted. I go in there and see some of the people who posted at rleague in taht section psoting in there. I go to the league gaming section I see all the old posters from the rleague one, and the excitement building as the game draws ever closer. I feel that I have been reunited.

But I save the best until last. The Wests Tigers forum. The one I miss the most. I see all the pold posters are here, but I was looking through rose cloured glasses.

I am filled with the memeories that half the posts in here are simply tripe referring to bringing back the original teams, especially in the off season.

Guys, its really just stupid. the topic has been covered and argued upon several times and is just really getting pathetically old. And even if the thread isnt about bring the old teams back, and my teams better than your team, it turns into it!

THIS IS A WESTS TIGERS FORUM - Not Balamain, not Wests.

This Wests Tigers forum, be it rleague or leagueunlimted, is a very good place to discuss the team. But the wars within the teams are just stupid.

I beg for it to stop.

WTF is "From The Prince Himself" all about?

This is a discussion board. Western Suburbs and Balmain make up the Wests Tigers. Discussions on either club or their merits in relation to each other will happen and continue to happen. I for one am happy to see that. It means people are passionate about their team. If you're not passionate about your team you're following Union.

We have a unique club. It's not a takeover like St. G/Ill or the failed merger of Manly / Norths, this is the only true JV in the NRL. And although it's had its dramas, for the moment it is possible that it could be here for a long, long time.

All discussions regarding the NRL team or the two clubs that make up the NRL team should be encouraged.

From The Prince Himself is in place becuase in most places I am now known as Prince EWS.

I have no problem with people talking about their old clubs. I just hate it how every thread seems to turn into Wests v Balmain.

Comments just like "you stupid Westies" are rediculous, as the Balmain fans that say it follow the Wests Tigers. If you follow the Wests Tigers, you shouldnt hate and argue with the other side so much.

errrr, everyone, just step away.....slowly.

EWS, it's part of the tribal nature of supporting League. It won't stop. People who go there invariably get hammered and some of the stuff is pretty funny.

Go with it, love it, be part of it.

Get over it.

No, hating teams you play against is part of teh tribal nature of supporting league. Not hating half of the team you support. Wests and Balmain are both part of the Wests Tigers, and after four years, people shoul have gotten used to it by now.

Actually, there's no basis for comparison for you to say that. The JV is 4 years old but up until '99 there were no other JV's, so to say that 4 years is enough isn't a sustainable argument given the complete lack of anything to compare it to. It may take decades.

Some people have followed their team for 20 years, 4 years to embrace another team as part of their team isn't that long.

I don't condone the discussions and I agree that the people who are holding onto the thought that the JV may split and their team once again will stand alone should get over it. But the discussions will continue until the current generation of supporters are pushing up daisies.

I don't care for Balmain too much and never have but I don't go out of my way to bag them either. I just do that when it suits me. ;-)

4 years to get over the rape & slaugher of a combined 190 years of history :roll:

I know Western Suburbs 95 years was like 20 years for a real club (when they managed to win more than twice a season), but that is still brutal.

Every Wests fan should ask themselves if the JV has made them follow their club with more or less passion..... obviously besides King & Gobbs (who don't have anything to do or any friends.. especially Gobbs ;-) )

King's support for his chosen club should be more recognised..... If Wests got out of league and started playing netball, King would still be there every week with his poms poms.......

KIng has no friends and some how manages to be named touch team captain. He goes because he can afford it to tugger. I bet if you had some money you could get to a few games.

I am by no means suggesting you get over Balmain or Wests. i am suggesting that people stop taking sides in thsi forum. Whats good for Wests is good for teh Wests Tigers os it is good for Balmain, and vise versa.

While ever Tigger continutes to breath through his arsehole, there'll always be blues about the JV.

You can try to have a civilised conversation about it but in the end he'll just come in and defacate like he always does. He's like the animal on Discovery Channel who leaves his scent on the borders of his territory.

I smell musk.

and boasting about having a backyard that a hills clothes hoist is'nt able to turn in. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

presumption is the mother of all fu/ck ups. You just keep hoping for more of those drunk ladies that you have been attacking recently or maybe it could be a great day and someone will tip you $2.00!

Didn't know you were in Germany....... Although with all the drugs they feed you to sooth the pain of being rammed every five hours by Bubba and co, you probably think you are in Germany!
