Anthony Field, of The Wiggles fame, wants to buy the Wests Tigers and reinstate Balmain to the National Rugby League ending the merger between Balmain and Western Suburbs Magpies.
Speaking to several news outlets on Thursday morning, Field admitted he would have to sell the rights to the kids band to even consider making it happen.
“All my money now is invested in the Wiggles, and it would be a fairy tale, but one day the Wiggles may sell somewhere. If I had that sort of money, yeah, I’d do it, absolutely,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
“I feel like I’m opening up a can of worms here but you can’t sweep tradition under the carpet.
“I tell you what, I would do it in a very respectful way with Wests by trying to convince them that Western Australia would be good for the Wests Magpies and Campbelltown and the ‘Tiges’ would come back to Leichhardt.”
Wests Tigers is currently owned and operated by Wests Ashfield.
