Wests Tigers take over bid

Probably better than when Thurston left the cows.
We made GF without him you delusional dickhead.

No one but a nutjob would claim kids don't watch EPL and NBA. They did 20 and 30 years ago when I was a kid and they're doing it now. Both sports have high participation rates in Australia amongst kids and plenty of them watch EPL and NBA. Go into any Rebel store and you'll see a massive section dedicated to EPL and NBA teams. They wouldn't be selling these items in such large quantities if no one bought them.

NFL has developed a fanbase around the world, despite being a sport that is played in fewer countries than RL. There's no logic to anything you say.

Was before 2002, when souffs were re established in top grade rugby league...

Then the ownership structure changed again in 2007. Let's be consistent in our reasoning here. The elitist attitude of a great many souffs fans clearly shows that the links to the club they romanticise are long gone. You can't claim them and simultaneously dismiss the obvious and well documented history of the Wests Tigers that reaches back to 1908.

Once again you're rewriting history. Your Wests Tigers don't reach back to 1908, far from it. The Wests Mergepies who you currently support have only been around for a couple of decades and only have one premiership to their name. You can claim otherwise all you like, but the reality (and the history books) say you are dead wrong.

We'll be a hell of a lot better off than your NQ Village People were after Thurston left.
Let's see. JT's successor, Michael Morgan, never got a chance to replicate his 2017 form because he was playing busted from 2018 until his forced retirement a couple of weeks ago.

How would Souffs Elmer Fudds go if A Reynolds was playing busted for years and spent more time on the sidelines than on the field?

The Cowboys' problem was their young talent, such as Ponga, Kikau, B Smith and J Hughes left for greener pastures as P Green hung onto favoured old timers who were well past it.

We'll get a chance to see how well the Elmer Fudds go without Mr A Reynolds next year. Bloody dumb decision to let him go. It wouldn't surprise me if Wayne Bennett is in the process of buggering the roster just like he did at Broncos, Dragons, Knights and Broncos. There's discord at Souffs. A happy team doesn't get slaughtered 50-0. 50uffs.

You are simply incorrect. Our history is well documented fact. One premiership since the merge though, agreed.

Care to post anything from the 20th century that refers to a team called the Wests Tigers? It seems that just like your take on the 1909 GF it is you who are incorrect. You seem to be making a habit of being incorrect.

Like I said we'll be fine. I do agree that letting him go is wrong, but we have several very promising young halves coming through. Also, we have already seen how Souths would go with Reyno playing busted for an extended period. The difference is he soldiered on and played unlike your Village People players who wimped out.

Your inability to understand the obvious is your problem.

Nope, the South Sydney Rabbitohs, the very same club who were there in 1908. I can't find any reference anywhere that a team called Wests Tigers were there with the other foundation clubs in 1908.
Your lack of knowledge and awareness of the history of the game is on display.

But I'm sure you like working at the bowling alley.

I'm just stating facts unlike you who keep regurgitating your pathetic revisionist history because you can't accept the reality about your pathetic 20 year old merged abomination of a club.

Ignorance noted. It pleases me that our continued existence hurts you so deeply.
