>>25/7/99 - TIGERS FUTUURE DECIDED ON TUESDAY: Tuesday night is the big night in the Tigers 92 year history when the Tigers members decide whether we merge with wests or stand alone , the same deal will happen at campbelltown where the wests members deicde on their future at the same time
17/7/99 - WESTERN TIGERS: In a move which is a victory for common sense The balmain board has cancelled talks for a takeover by parramatta to deicde that thier joint venture partner will be wests . In news on it that we do know is that wests ceo martin bullock will probably become the western tigers ceo & that the side is considering purchasing 4 big names with possible signings maybe being test players Brian Fletcher & Jarrod Mccracken & Newcastle grand final hero from 1997 darren albert . The merger still needs the support from football club members from both clubs but news that i heard is that it will happen

13/7/99 - WESTS MEETING AT SAME TIME AS TIGERS: Wests have announced today that they are going to have a meeting to talk about their future which will be identical to the one that balmain will be having at the same time . It appears that wests want to merge with us or risk being taken over by canterbury or be killed altogether
Tigermans comment: cancel all talks with parramatta scum eels & talk to the magpies we will get a better fairer deal

7/6/99 - NO MERGER - WESTS WANT TO STAND ALONE: It appears that Wests do not want to form in a merger with the talk at the opening of campbelltown yesterday despite the mayor of campbelltown & Michael Knight saying that the new ground shouldnt be lost to the code preferably with wests standing alone or in a joint venture Wests chairman JIm Marsden said in his speech that wests believe they can & should stand alone , there were no merger talks yesterday despite Tigers CEO Danny Munk being given a tour around the stadium , but with a crowd of 17000 there yesterday the people of campbelltown & Tiger suporters like me who atteneded gave a good message to the NRL we want our sides to stay alone in separate entities.>
