There are explosive new calls to break up NRL club Wests Tigers and bring back the Balmain Tigers. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, Balmain director and former player Garry Leo said the merger between Balmain and the Western Suburbs Magpies has failed and it was time for the Tigers to go it alone. The two clubs merged at the end of 1999 and have only competed in three finals series since. They are currently second bottom on the ladder in what has been another dire season.
“I don’t think the NRL would continue to allow the Wests Tigers to operate with the Tigers name without any involvement from Balmain. I really do believe the NRL competition needs a Tigers team. And not the Wests Tigers.” But Balmain chair Danny Stapleton quickly moved to hose down the talk of of a club bust-up. “I have spoken to my board ... Balmain is fully supportive of the joint venture with the Holman Barnes Group, the Wests Magpies group and more importantly Wests Tigers,” he said.
