Balmain directors want to table a proposal that could force the NRL to choose between the Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies, as tensions rise at the joint venture.

The Balmain board is set to call a crisis meeting to discuss removing the club from the joint venture with Western Suburbs in an ambitious bid to go it alone that could spell the end of the Wests Tigers.

“I really believe the time has come for us to step aside and resurrect the Balmain Tigers,” Leo, who played 156 games for Balmain in the 1960’s and ’70s, told the“We’ve got more of a following than the Wests side of the merger. To be honest, we have lost faith in them. We’re getting Leichhardt Oval upgraded and we could play there every second week. If we can find the right backers, we want a shot at returning to the NRL.

The other name being discussed is billionaire automotive businessman, Neville Crichton, also a Balmain fan.
