I read something about Balmain wanting to merge with the potentially incoming NZ South Island team (the Keas) & leaving the JV with Wests, with Wests then having to make or break it as a standalone club again.

The concept seemed to add weight to the Keas bid to enter the NRL.

Imagine that! Interesting times ahead!

There's no way the NRL will let the joint venture fold.
They wouldn't want to have to cough up 2 wooden spoons every season.

The NRL can’t make them stay together only reapply for the licence. The Tigers can’t do it alone that’s why they are talking to the South Island group.

The Super League Forced Merges are like Marriages

The governance of HBG appears to be pretty interesting. Of the 7 board members, 4 are elected by a group of 18 denture holders…..

Surely they can say that the licence is for the Wests tigers name, logo and colours playong games out of Campbelltown and Leichardt and any move away from that will forfeit the licence.

They could, but if the JV fails, NRL will breach its contactual obligations for 8 games a week. They cant get another team up and running in 3 months

Sure, but surely the NRL could take control of the board. Implement an independent team to run the club in the interim.

That's what most likely will happen.

Yeah I agree, but if the JV fails there is no club to run. Who gets the license. Will players sign with the new entity, if they don't are they still under contract?...It will be a massive sh1t fight for the NRL.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

No so different from the northern Eagles.

Enter Greg Florimo singing to the tune of Will Smiths Men in Black “here come the red n blacks….” North Sydney reentry proposal number 463! Haha

 

[Frogz]

Anyway, whatever happens, I hope they just stick together and crash and burn by Round 6.... Will be so good to see....again.
