Tigers in Trouble

Posted by Vic on October 28, 2018 at 11:48pm

Looks like Balmain are in financial trouble and Wests will likely buy their NRL debt. What a mess!https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/foundation-club-balmain-tigers-in-danger-of-folding-20181027-p50cdc.html

Will they then be known as 'Western Suburbs' and punt the Tiger tag then?

  No idea, that would be huge if it happened.

  The NRL wouldn't let that happen. Would make a mockery of how they handled the whole merger process

  Wouldn’t be a smart move, if I was an old Balmain Tigers Fans there’s no way Id be following them after a name change ..

  I believe it's in their constitution that it always remains "Tigers" as part of the name no matter what happens. It is ironic though 20 year ago, Wests needed Balmain, now it's the other way around.

It's a bloody shame what has happened to Balmain over the last 10 year, the whole Rozelle development etc. I'm confident things will get sprted, even though Balmain are not in first grade etc, they still have connections and people that can pull a few strings.
