Blocker claimed on 2gb today that wests magpies will be the Canberra raiders feeder side for 2013 ! Surely a response from the club is needed now since this claim has surfaced.

I've posted on the raiders forum to see if they know anything of this also.

First I have heard of the Canberra rumour. I don't think the loss of Mounties will be mourned at NSW Cup level, only because of their lack of facilities.

Galahs is also pretty close to the mark I reckon with the blame for not having an announcement yet.

With Blocker being balmain aligned one wouldn't be surprised if he is stirring the pot, he has some credibility in the media so you wouldn't think he would jeopardise that with an off the cuff remark like this.

Irrespective of the Canberra connection, the Magpies are entitled to their share of fringe Wests Tigers players. We are a joint owner ... Ryde Eastwood are not part of the venture & have no right to claim all players. Tim Sheens is employed by the joint venture & Wests must tell him the way it will be next year. If he doesn't like it then it's good riddance to a bloke who has made it all so hard for the magpies over the last few years. This year is the biggest shame ever thrown at our proud club. We need Wests Campbelltown to vote with the Wests Group & end this injustice which our Balmain brothers just suck up. Time to make a stand for our fair entitlements.

I think it is still Balmain Tigers sponsored by Ryde Eastwood so they are still part of the joint venture....maybe the Raiders alliance is again a ploy to get Wests Ashfield and Campbelltown to get more involved in Magpies rather than a foreign club stumping us up.

Ryde Eastwood have the naming rights to the Balmian team ONLY, not a West Tigers team. And definitely not a Magpies team. They have NO part in the joint venture except a free ride: eg NRL surplus NRL players

Sorry, my point was they sponsor BALMAIN TIGERS, who are a part of the joint venture, as are Wests Magpies.

tcmagpie, great post!

I cant see how the Wests Group cant just tell Balmain how its going to be? Surely they have the numbers to support any motion they put forward!

As you say, TIME TO TAKE A STAND!

All depends which side of the fence Wests Ashfield and Wests Campbelltown sit. If they sat on the Magpie side there would be no dramas !!
