20/2/99 - captaincy tussle now between 2
        Either Darren Senter or Jason Lowrie will be selected the Tigers captain for 1999 with tonights game v Sydney City the key tigersworld has learnt that either Lowrie or Senter will get the job but it depends in their performance tonight this is not official but as far as we know both players wil be captain for 1 half each & who ever does better will be given the captaincy , the selection will be released on MAcrh 2 at approximately 9pm or March 3 in the Telegraph in Sydney which is when the side for the cronulla game is released , The Tigers travel to Brisbane tonight to play Sydney City which will be our last trial before the blockbuster v the Cronulla Sharks on March 7.

14/2/99 - Senter set to be named Tigers Captain
      In a surprise move for all Tiger supporters hooker Darren Senter is set to be named as Tigers captain for 1999 in front of frontrunners Mark Stimson & Michael Gillett , unfortunately we were unable to find out the captain for last nights game in Coffs Harbour but the reason TigersWorld believe that Senter will be captain is because there was a captains survey in todays Sunday Telegraph in Sydney & Senter was the tiger quizzed . Unfortunately the Tigers had a 44-24 loss last night in Coffs v the Newcastle Knights , full report up soon .
 
 

7/2/99 - Triguboff ups sponsorship
      Balmain have convinced their chief financial backer, developer Harry Triguboff to increse his sponsorhip of the club for 1999. Meriton Apartments, will now back the Tigers from $400,000, plus incentives.

         - Solo and Tyran show that Tiger Spirit
       Solomon Haumono and Tyran Smith are both arriving to training early and completing extra tasks, much to delight of Wayne Pearce as Junior used to do the same thing when he was captaining Balmain.
              Additionally, Pearce is revelling in the form of his goal-kickers after Shannon Nevin, Joel Caine and Steven Price converted more than 90 % of their shots at goal against Blayney.

16/12/98 - No Merger!!!!! Garry Jack and Benny Elias have failed in their bid for a spot on the board as 310 Balmain members voted to keep the current board in place in the Annual General Meeting last night. This means that Elias's support for a 3 way merger between Balmain, Sydney City and Souths will not happen. So Balmain has decided on staying alone in season '99!!!
                    Elias indicated it was unlikely he would stand for election on the Balmain board next year.

13/12/98 - Chargers winger Jason Hudson has signed with the Balmain Tigers. Hudson previously wanted to leave Gold Coast but had one more year on his contract and if he would leave Balmain would be fined under the Anti Poaching rules. But now that Gold Coast aren't in the '99 competition Hudson is no free to play for Balmain. Hudson is an elusive winger who will be a great asset for the backline. Only thing now is which two players out of Milford, Hancock and Hudson will get the positions?

28/11/98 - With help from inside sources in appears that Balmain have signed Melbourne Storm centre John Carlaw for 3 years. When released in the media I will give you much more information but for now this is all I can say.
                 - David Baysarri will be next years President Cup coach since the daparture of Dan Stains who is going to the London Broncos.
                 - In other news from inside sources, Balmain greats Gary Freeman and Mick Neil have returned to Leichardt to be involved in the coaching squad to coach lower grades. This year Freeman successfully coached a Parramatta lower grade team to premiership victory over North Sydney.
                 - New recruit Matt Adams can apparently kick the ball furthur than Canberra great Ricky Stuart and Canberra coaching staff are spewing over letting this young talent come to the Tigers.

17/11/98 - Balmain has re-signed talented centre Jacin Sinclair despite the former glamour player's dismal and luckless year with injuries. Sinclair, who rose to prominence five years ago with Souths, has been struck down with a series of injuries since emerging on the scene in 1994.
                    Strong, fast, skilful and with rare vision, Sinclair had a troublesome year with injury. However Tigers coach Wayne Pearce has shown great faith in Sinclair and decided to give him another opportunity in 1999.
                    The Tigers are in full-scale training and have been since October 19, with the players enduring four weight sessions and four other field, skills, sprints and agility sessions throughout the week. New recruit from Manly Craig Hancock is impressing everyone at the club with his pace, attitude and athleticism. "Craig would probably be the fastest man in the club," Tigers official Mark Dickens said. Hancock, a Manly junior who was graded in 1989, can play fullback or wing and has more than 150 first grade games under his belt. He is a player with loads of experience and Hancock's speed will be an asset to the Tigers backline.
