Wests Tigers take over bid

[Mr Spock!]

Hahahaha.

A souffs fan going on about loyalty and trust....

In 1909 when one team stood on principle and refused to play as a curtain raiser to line the pockets of rugby union, where was the loyalty and trust you speak of?

Bahaha still going on about 1909 and the mythology around it.

You are aware Balmain was at fault. They wanted control of the game.

Not that it matters because Balmain no longer exists.

I meant his loyalty. Easts supporter one day - Souths the next. Wouldn’t want to pin my club’s future on someone like that.

Yeah a bit like luke Keary or Angus Crichton or Ron coote.

 

[Mr Spock!]

My 8 year old knows. The Balmain and magpie crests are literally on the back of our Jerseys now, with the magpie on the sleeve.

You're living in a fantasy land, mate.

Carry on though...

I will. All he will know is a picture of a tiger and a bird.

He probably never even heard of Balmain.

 

[southwalesrabbitoh]

If they moved to Perth, Im pretty much done supporting them. I'll switch to the new Brisbane team as I live in SE Qld.

I don't like relocation, the Swans still having South Melbourne on their jerseys and they went around south Melbourne after winning the GF, sounds silly to me; but I live in Britain and have never been to Oz or the States, so...

Souffs fans selectively applying history.

I will. All he will know is a picture of a tiger and a bird.

He probably never even heard of Balmain.

And most souffs fans have only seen one premiership, using that logic....

You're making an awful lot of selective assumptions in your arguments. Applying the same logic to your own team, the souffs Sydney Rusty's (est 2001/2007) is fun

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Yeah a bit like luke Keary or Angus Crichton or Ron coote.

Nothing like that at all. Professional footballers changing clubs is different to ‘loyal supporters’ changing allegiance.

Well I'm a Magpie through and through and I detest Balmain. The merged abortion does nothing for me.

So be a turncoat and join Rusty, est. 2007...

I've always found that if you meet a Wests fan who used to support the Magpies, they are invariably good people. However if they are old Balmain fans they are nearly always big mouth know-it-alls who you can't wait to get away from.

I would rather try to remove my brain with a crochet hook through my nostrils ...

Oh yeah now we're at war with EPL, NFL, NBA and La Liga (whatever the f**k that is - they'd better work on their marketing). Don't forget Ice Hockey in Toronto, Russian Paraplegic Gymnastics and the Scottish Caber toss, and the Mongolian Rolling Marathon for people with no arms or legs.

I'm yet to see a kid that watches any of them.

20 years ago when I went to school the EPL was what 80% of my peers watched and spoke about. My nephews have played every sport except RL.

It's not the 1980s anymore. Walk around the city and observe what people wear. Even at NRL games you'll see adults wearing merchandise of NY Yankees, LA Lakers and other American sporting teams. Rebel sport sell NCAA basketball singlets and has all the major soccer teams from across the world. You're stuck in the 1980s.

Optus Sport has focused on securing broadcast rights for the EPL and other major soccer competitions, and guess what, they have more customers than Kayo.

It's a front we put on specifically to annoy you. Ironically, you are being a big mouthed know it all souffs fan telling tigers fans what they should think and how they should view their own club.

Don't. That would definitely turn you into a souffs fan...

Except for bunniesman. His Mensa grade trolling is masterful.

Yep. Michael Jordan was the man every kid wanted to emulate. Even Shane Warne adopted the number "23" on his ODI kit.

It was only a couple of years ago and everyone was wearing this:

Thanks for proving my point.

Hi Jim,

Time to go back to the shallow end , its in the Souffs section !

Then how do I get to laugh at cretins like you.
