Teams Wests Tigers

former Tigers goal kicking winger Luke Covell now an Australian Olympic finalist at 14 years of age. Impressive !

Poor Luke Brooks still can’t win at Leichhardt

 

[Big Unit 30]

2 wins in a row. Giddy stuff.
How good is a packed Leichhardt

 

[gaskin]

We've got some good youngsters. I just hope we can keep them and develop them properly.

So great to see a win, especially at Leichardt. Really good to see the opponents being ill-disciplined and copping the sin bins for a change as well .

I feel like if we can sort out the centres and wings next season, we could win a few more games. There's some emerging talent in the squad, Benji just needs to make it all come together.

Interesting. I remember the unrelated Brisbane Tigers lost out to Redcliffe in the bid for the 17th licence. Could they join forces with Balmain similar to how Perth have with North Sydney?

This is all b-s.
Nine media bashing of the JV trying to get rid of a Sydney based team.
Article on the DT more or less saying the opposite

Almost certain Balmain has very little coin. I doubt they'd be able/want to move away from the current arrangement.

They don’t currently, or a leagues club either.
They yet again are basing it on Harry Trubigoff (sp) the billionaire Balmain supporter funding it.
While I’ve never had the same love for the JV as I did for Balmain, and in a perfect world would love that gold and black jersey to grace Leichhardt every second weekend again, there is absolutely zero chance it will ever happen unfortunately.
No way at all

Thanks for that Sandra.

Thanks for that Sandra.

I only heard about it today and thought you Tigers nufties might be interested

 

[gaskin]

It came out a couple of weeks ago and was straight away shot down. It is one member of the board being a ****wit.

Proud of the club trying to change the culture.

 

[Big Unit 30]

Finally got ourselves a front rower.
No lack of spending from the club but we’ll see if it’s in the right places and run by the right people driving it.

Terrell May signs three-year deal with Wests Tigers

The Tigers have edged out St George Illawarra for May’s services on a lucrative three-year deal that will see him remain at the joint venture club until at least the end of 2027.

Decent signing, I'd say.

**** me I’m so over some of the old timers complaining about what side gets what.

Best kit we have had in years. But some divisive ****s still want to complain.

Richo doesn’t care about the merger, Benji doesn’t, our stars for the last 25 years don’t, the majority of our fans don’t.
We care about our club being strong, successful, loyal, and looking good while doing it.
Will always love Balmain, always as my family for all generations was. But we are the Wests Tigers.
Won’t here me complaining about more games at Campbelltown nor that the colours are predominantly Black and Orange.

Edit. Should clarify it isn’t here but on FB tigers sites. And only been one or two people. A dying, thankfully, breed.

I admit I hold a bit of resentment.

The Jersey being almost converted to the old magpie strip especially.
I know we can’t and won’t go back but I do feel a lot of the Balmain in the merger just ebbs way as time goes on.
