Wests Tigers take over bid

Logan sounds a lot like Balmain.

Dude it's not my fault if your Superleague arguments lay strewn all over the floor.

They were stupid then and they're stupid now.

Now have you protested to the cowboys about the 12 million they rake in in poker machines.

Which is 12 million more than souths.

You know because you care so much about families and equality.
I wish my club didn't have pokies, but while they're competing with clubs who do and are based in a small regional city that has around 150k people, and about 400k in their catchment, spread across an enormous region, they're a necessary evil for the club's survival. Not everyone has a Russell Crowe to keep them afloat.

Unless a strict cap is put on football operations then clubs will be reliant on generating revenue, up to $25-30m, just to survive. If things keep going the way they are then regional clubs might be forced out of the game.

Logan has about 326k people and growing rapidly. It's also located between Brisbane and Gold Coast, making it very important region and one that AwFuL has targeted. Its southern suburbs are set to grow by over 100k people over the coming decades.

Growing the game in strategically important areas isn't Super League. It's not the 1980s anymore.

You're looking at a window into how the rest of us feel about souffs and how the comp went on perfectly well without them until they were readmitted as a charity case, went broke and sold themselves off...
Once things for sure, when the Mergepies are flicked there won't be masses of people marching to get them back in. On the contrary there will be celebrations that the turds have been flushed.

I'm still not sure why you have such a substantial emotional investment in the club. Perhaps you could start off with a pet membership?
I could ask you the same. You spend more time posting about Souths than you do the Mergepies. Also, do you get a commission for sucking people into buying Mergepies memberships? You keep trying to foist one off on me despite me saying I wouldn't give your club anything except for my disdain.

Rent free.... Plenty of room between your ears as well!

A real fixer upper...

You've only been here a few months though. You'll figure it out eventually. The arrogance and self importance many souffs fans have will always see people keen to poke fun at the fact the club is now everything it wasn't. For decades they detested East's looking down their noses towards souffs.

It goes to show that if you can't beat em, join em.

We can't beat our way out of wet paper bag though, so a subsistence existence is.our lot for now...

If you say so, mate. I'd think someone with the deep interest you have for the tigers would be aware of the reasons behind the delayed development.
Deep interest? More like slowing down to get a peek at a car crash as you drive past. The Mergepies are one hell of a tangled mess of metal,glass and rubber.
