Wests Tigers take over bid

[Jim Rockford]

Said the Rabbitohs fan who is ignorant of actual historical events outside Redfern....

Not that souffs have anything to do with Redfern anymore...

Irrelevant opinion noted.

So.... A tigers fan opinion about their own club with obvious evidence to prove it doesn't count because lol@souffs?

Solid logic.

Surely he must be a closet Tigers fan mate, spends so much time talking about the club.

"Öh noes! The bad man has a signature that hurts my precious little feelings. Whatever will I do?"

So I guess that makes you and Senses closet Souths fans then?

I do enjoy a good lol@souffs. Welcome to league unlimited.

Sell 75% of my feelings to Rusty?

We aren't constantly posting in a thread about Souths

I will admit, however, that I did post very heavily in many threads revolving around laughing at souffs.

I was even threatened with legal action at one point. Fun times.

Or merge your existence with someone else.

No, like the Western Suburbs Magpies (a decent club unlike the scum that was the Balmain Tigers)

lol Homophobic jokes now, that is what you resort to?

1. the NRL does not have the vison to be an Australian wide brand, let alone a global one!
2. LC's will still dominate ownership of NRL clubs as they are sht at generating football club operation revenue and will continue to be so whilst their losses can be bailed out by pokies
3. Yes they will likely still be owned by Wests Ashfield unless people have finally woken up to the stupidity of gambling by then.

The best hope for real global growth of RL is for the Nth America comp to really take off and get serious investors and a decent media deal behind it. rebranding the NRL , NARL and European SL with a common competition name and three international conferences that had a proper inter conference world event would be the best potential to break the east coast/M62 shackles the game has had for over 100 years. If the NARL really took off it would force NRL and SL to change or else be swamped by those clubs stealing all the best players. It would mean though that suburban clubs would be forced to drop to second tier though as they struggled to keep up with global city clubs.

I wouldn't be surprised if electronic gaming machines are outlawed within the next 10 years. Cancel culture is coming after everything. Pokies do cause problems for people with addiction issues, so it's only a matter of time until a special interest group with power rallies against them. I thinking betting companies will also come under scrutiny at some stage. Take these two revenue sources away and most clubs will be f**ked.

Streaming is the future, and major sporting leagues and clubs have their own apps. One by one, they will pinch fan after fan away from Australian sports leagues as they'll be cheaper and easier to access than Foxtel. The new deal with Foxtel pretty much put the streaming rights in the hands of their subsidiary Kayo, which has all sorts of sports on it. I wouldn't be surprised if ESPN severed ties with Foxtel/Kayo now that they're owned by Disney.

I am so glad that the merger was between Wests and Balmain, imagine having to merge with Souths, would have been like marrying one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters.

In hindsight, it would have been better if South Sydney merged with St George to form the South Sydney Dragons and Cronulla merged with Illawarra to become the Illawarra Sharks or South Coast Sharks.

No one would have wanted to merge with Souths, destined to be an old maid.

They were a rabble before Crowe bailed them out. Their premiership was tainted by favourable refereeing calls all year. I remember Gasnier talking about it on Fox Sports at the time and he was right.

I tried to find it for laughs.

Interesting fact: Alanis Morissette released a song called 'nemesis'.

Strange times.
