The Balmain Tigers Leagues Club could be placed into receivership by Tuesday night, with serious consequences for the Wests Tigers NRL club.

The leagues club has taken urgent action in the NSW Supreme Court against Rozelle Village, a property developer attempting to develop the Tigers' Victoria Road headquarters.

Rozelle Village alleges the leagues club defaulted on a series of loans, including one for $4.5 million made in 2009.

Rozelle Village was last week restrained from appointing a receiver, or a receiver and manager, or a voluntary administrator to the Balmain Tigers Leagues Club or any of its assets until 5pm on Tuesday.
