I hate the Wests Tigers as they are pure Super League evil... Two foundation clubs that were forced to merge after SL virually killed the game. SL killed my club the Balmain Tigers and I can never forget that. I also cannot forget how the ARL clubs were treated by the SL clubs, thus I hate all the Super League clubs as well for being greedy, selfish pr*cks that that were only looking after themselves and not the code as a whole. Wankers. Whats even worse are the knobs that blindly accept SL and mergers without thinking about what it's done to the code.
We really need more supporters like you.
Build a bridge, it's been 5 years and the clocks aren't going to be turned back to satisfy the 50 or so people that still feel about it the way you do.
Even though I'm a Jets suppporter, I have to agree.
Why is it that people still think that SL was the devil's work while the ARL came out smelling of roses.
Cable TV was coming, and both sides (SL/Foxtel, ARL/Optus) were entirely interested in their own business, and how "modernising" the game could help tem win the battle.
Why are the ARL painted as innocents when they had their own agenda with Optus?
The truth is both sides should have been more diplomatic and looked at what would benefit the sport as a whole, while still being able to share tv rights and corresponding profits. They could win the battle by having better overall coverage packages, better commentators, etc.
On the mergers, a few of the teams who did merge (Wests in particular, another of my teams) were struggling financially and probably wouldn't have been around by now anyway, except by being artificially inflated by the NRL, etc. and that's not the ideal situation.
Anyway...I don't hate any clubs.
The Roosters are a seemingly easy target, but if they got rid of Gould I would have absolutely nothing againt them.
