The joint-venture revealed its greatest team ever since the merger between Balmain and Western Suburbs.
Thirteen players from the Wests Tigers 2005 premiership-winning team have been included in the club’s all-time greatest ever team.
The Tigers celebrated its 15-year anniversary at a gala dinner on Monday at Doltone House in Pyrmont which featured 350 guests.
The team consisted of the best players of each position since the merger between Balmain and Western Suburbs.
More than 10,000 votes were cast on the Wests Tigers website to pick the team, and most players selected were in attendance.
Benji Marshall, now at St. George Illawarra, was unable to attend but sent a video message.
Inductees included Brett Hodgson, Pat Richards, Paul Whatuira, Benji Marshall, Scott Prince, Anthony Laffranchi, Robbie Farah, John Skandalis, Ben Galea, Mark O’Neill, Liam Fulton, Todd Payten and Chris Heighington, who were all involved in the Tigers’ 30-16 Grand Final win over North Queensland in 2005.
Other members selected were Chris Lawrence, Taniela Tuiaki, Aaron Woods and Gareth Ellis.
