I come from the Balmain side and I support the joint venture. I will support the NRL team and these morons on the Balmain board should just STFU.

It's not just the morons on the Balmain side....it's all the partisan "Old club" identities on the board and agitating around the edges...it's not Balmain or Wests anymore...how long will it take for them to realise that the majority of younger (aka THE FUTURE) Wests Tigers supporters ( and growing) DO NOT GIVE A FLYING f**k ABOUT WESTS OR BALMAIN!....just as they don't give a f**k about most anything else nostalgic from their parents last century. A 35 year old father now was 10 years old when WT was formed....I wish these dinosaurs would wake up and finally understand that !

Also...if Elias is genuine that he's all in on helping strengthen and progressing WT then I'll support his involvement even if there's something in it for him...there's something in it for most of the rest of them anyway...ego gratification!

I'm so over this f**king shit that I actually hope it happens. At least that way we don't have to put up with any more of this shitfighting. Call us the Western Suburbs cockheads and stick a picture of a Rooster wearing a dildo for a hat for all I f**king care. I'm not even joking - we would have a better chance signing players with a trackhead for a mascot than we will with these ego inflated f**ktards fighting over who's cock still works.

Wests Ashfield Leagues commissioned a report into the Wests Tigers and instead working with the board and the executive to implement its findings, they used it as an excuse to sack the board, the chair and the CEO. A new board and executive is installed with WAL claiming that they are there to implement the findings of the report and fix the governance and admin issues raised. The new board takes no action on that front. No independent directors appointed, no vetting process put in place, no sign of any reform whatsoever.

No wonder Gary Leo is upset.
The place is a joke

This club is soul destroying. I don't think I could follow the Magpies. In fact I feel like I'll give up supporting footy all together.
I don't know how to do a poll. Can someone do one and pose some questions as to how this is going to effect us supporters and who will they support.
Gday Nutz,

Every time I despair of my mob, your mob come along and trump us.

I was shocked yesterday when this came out. Stunned actually.

I'm wondering if potential signings are now having second thoughts about joining us.
Luai might be thinking, gee I'm glad I put get out clauses into my contract to include "there are to be no changes to the club's head coach and/or the club's name"

Your mob seem more attractive to signings than my mob. It’s like pulling teeth to get anyone onboard with the Dragons.

There are a couple of members on the new board members that are from the old board isn't there Fordy? How is that ethical?

I noticed that there still are a couple of Flannigan doubters. I think he's done well since his appointment. A few journos had you as wooden spooners let alone the top8.
I think you'll get RCG. What about Corey Horsburgh?
If we jag Hunt I doubt he'll want to play with Horsey. Didn't he say something about a weak gutted dog after horsey backed away from a confrontation he had with him? ;)

I support Wests Tigers. I just changed my avatar to a guy who gives it his all.
My eyes are stuffed, I can't see who it is.
I was referring to, if the club changes it's name to Western Suburbs Magpies and what if all the players had get out clause to so there's no connection or resemblance at all to the "Wests Tigers" would you still follow them?

Flanno is the best coach we have had since Bennett imo.

unbelievably we don’t have a slot in the 30 available for anyone past RCG… unless someone moves on

Ah you changed it again, I can see that better, Seyfarth, my favourite "Wests Tigers" player :)

Seyfarth is my new avatar.

I think changing the name would be completely and utterly stupid however if that was initiated from the Balmain side I would still support the JV team. If the club did it themselves I would stop supporting league period.

Let's be honest neither team is in the NRL anymore. There is a Wests Tigers team in the NRL. They get plenty of support in the inner west and they are actually based there. I drive past the facilities regularly. The fans consistently turn up to Leichardt. We also play out of Lidcombe in the lower grades.

I don't want to take anything away from Campbelltown. The south-west are a huge part of this team. I would even be happy with all games being at Campbelltown but I don't think that is the right decision.

I cannot fathom how stupid these morons are who continue to go on about this stuff.

I'd support Weststigers with their current identity no matter where they played.
If I had to, I would support all the games if they played at CS providing the jerseys had equal colours of white back and gold and the name stayed Wests Tigers, forever.
I could relate to that. I'd even support them if they relocated to the central coast or interstate, as long as the name stayed the same and the majority of the players relocated to help maintain our identity. Eventually time would heal.
Of course being a Balmain boy I'd rather LO but I'm also a realist.
What I won't do is support the name change from Wests Tigers to Western Suburbs. It's not because I don't like Western Suburbs it just not a team I follow or have ever followed.... and that goes for our current pathways and KOE sides. I have an interest only as they are our reserve grade and development teams, that's it.
I don't want to sound disrespectful to our magpie brothers and sisters. Our families have split up and we have left home so to speak, we are standing on our "Wests Tigers feet"
If West Tigers fold I'll be supporting cousin Norm Provan's teams Saints and Sharks, if they are in the finals, but from week to week I'd probably follow Brisbane Easts Tigers.

Fair enough Nutz. I can’t see them going through with it. Surely all the Balmain side aren’t going to follow Leo and his game of Russian roulette?

I’d welcome you to the fold at Saints mate.
