Wests Tigers fans will have to wait another day to find out whether the Balmain Leagues Club will be placed into receivership.

Developers Rozelle Village have applied to have receivers appointed to the club, claiming it has defaulted on loans among other issues.

On Tuesday afternoon, the NSW Supreme Court heard applications from Rozelle Village and the club which wants to stop the developer's action.

The leagues club has financially supported the Wests Tigers NRL club, and the injunction could hurt its ability to continue that support, the court was told.

Balmain spokesman Danny Munk said they had been given a fair hearing.

"We'll leave it in the hands of the judges. Unfortunately that's all we can say," he told reporters outside the court.

Judgment on the receivership matter is expected to be handed down on Wednesday afternoon.

Rozelle Village bought the site of the Balmain Leagues Club headquarters on Victoria Road, Rozelle to develop it into luxury apartments. The development is yet to receive state approval.
