It just seems incredible on 2025 wests Ashfield is allowed to run what is effectively a private cabal funded by public poker machine licenses. If you are running a club based on NSW government granted poker licenses how is it that you aren’t subject to proper corporate governance to ensure that you are a right and proper person. Gambling is a highly regulated industry and yet Wests Ashfield is run by a boys club of old magpies tragics. The rolling board coups over the last couple of years alone should disqualify this mob from being allowed to oversee such a large gambling entity. These demented debenture holders do not own the club, they are just custodians of the club license

Yes, it is definitely an odd situation. The club exists to serve members and the wider community. It is not a privately owned business. It seems weird that a small number of people can get a say, but the same entitlement to control/governance of the club isn’t open to members or the community that the club is meant to serve.

The HBG act as if it is still Western Suburbs Magpies vs Balmain Tigers. It’s not. They think putting Benny Elias as Chair will placate the Balmain side. They totally ignore 26 years of Wests Tigers

It’s Wests Tigers vs Western Suburbs Magpies/Balmain Tigers. It’s been the Wests Tigers for 26 years now.

It’s Wests Tigers
Not Balmain Tigers
Not Western Suburbs Magpies.

Enough is enough, it’s Wests Tigers in the NRL and will be forever.  Let’s have an independent Wests Tigers board who’s sole focus is Wests Tigers success.

@mike I don’t even think it’s wests tigers vs wests magpies. It’s literally , Balmain , wests magpies Campbelltown , the nrl , people with partial interest in nrl , wests tigers vs wests Ashfield . 
It needs to be stated that these people didn’t want to bring back the wests magpies of Campbelltown,they were looking to bring back the one that went bankrupt , and had to be forced to move to the south west . The lidcombe variety . Basically almost 40 years of supporters , and their opinions means sweet FA. It’s mental to me .

wests magpies Campbelltown


These are still Western Suburbs Magpies. I know I followed them to the end, from Pratten Park, Lidcombe Oval and all the way out to Campbelltown. 

Make no mistake I believe this is who the HBG/Wests Ashfield represents. 

It’s time for Wests Tigers focus with an independent Wests Tigers board.
