After our interview with Gary Barnier yesterday, I am confident that all the recommendations will be put into action, so that is one obstacle out of the way.
It always seemed to me , that people arnt THAT stupid ! I know on the podcast forum there’s talk about the magpies faction , but surely as time moves on and those people either fade out in thier staunchness or unfortunately pass away , show more of an interest in wests tigers etc. that they start being the voice you ignore in the room .After our interview with Gary Barnier yesterday, I am confident that all the recommendations will be put into action, so that is one obstacle out of the way.
What is important now is to get the independent directors in place in a timely fashion.It always seemed to me , that people arnt THAT stupid !

I mean constantly on this forum a select few turn up and start death riding and saying it’s only a matter of time , type rhetoric . Like I said “ not the opinion of someone we should Be listening to.
Richardson isnt dumb he knows we have got jumpy in the past making dumb decisions. Easiest way for him to be signed on for long term by having competitive tension. Look what that did when we signed Jayden Sullivan, Bud will be NRL's richest NSW Cup player soon.Push to get Richo back to Souths
While the chess pieces are being moved in the background to bring Wayne Bennett back to South Sydney, powerful figures at the club also want Wests Tigers interim chief executive Shane Richardson to make a stunning return.
The veteran administrator was spotted lunching with Rabbitohs officials on Wednesday, although I’ve been assured the catch-up was scheduled long before the axe was being sharpened to sack coach Jason Demetriou.
Nevertheless, the push to bring back Richardson as head of football – a role he previously held until he left in 2020 – to support Bennett is well and truly on.
Whether it happens depends, largely, on the Tigers.
Richardson is contracted on an interim basis until June 30 and has been negotiating a three-year extension for more than a month.
But he’s told the club if the governance reform initiated by the Holman-Barnes Group – the Western Suburbs side of the joint-venture – isn’t completed then he’ll be out the door.
Part of that reform led to Richardson being installed in the first place, but the recommendation from former NRL chief financial officer Tony Crawford and businessman Gary Barnier for three independents to sit on the board alongside chairman Barry O’Farrell has not yet happened.
While Richardson has the Tigers pointed in the right direction, he wants to know who he’s answerable to before agreeing to stay.
Souths are keeping an eye on the situation as they work out what to do if Demetriou doesn’t survive.
Richardson mightn’t be on the Christmas card list of chairman Nick Pappas, but he has a critical ally in co-owner Russell Crowe.
The Hollywood actor has a deep affection for Bennett, but with Richardson it’s more of an abiding respect because of his ability to make hard decisions and not care whose feelings might get bruised.
He was responsible for bringing Bennett to the club in late 2018 after flying to the UK where Bennett was coaching England following a tumultuous and ultimately final season at the Broncos.
The pair butted heads early on over the signing of Latrell Mitchell, but eventually developed a close relationship because Bennett could focus on the NRL team while Richardson worried about recruitment, retention and pathways.
Speculation that they fell out was wide of the mark. Rather, they clashed on footy matters, a healthy and inevitable dynamic at any club.
If Bennett was to return to Souths, it’s hard to see it happening without Richardson supporting him.
Doubtless, your poor old correspondent will be accused of doing Richardson’s bidding because, well, this is rugby league and people are idiots.
He refused to comment when approached on Thursday and was unhappy the piece was being written. O’Farrell also refused to comment.
Rugby league has never been quicker nor better — but at what cost?
The NRL have released stats talking up the game. But some clubs are facing enormous injury tolls.www.smh.com.au
Only when we become Wests Tigers. An identity void of a past history... Can we truly celebrate our past.... appreciate a past...sometimes it feels as though we are in no man's land... because of the dinosaurs....
I understand you may not have time for this but would it be possible to cut out the stuff he has already mentioned then release that? Maby as part of your main pod? All good if not keep up the good work legendsI have permission to release it.
Are you saying Wests Magpies lost members due to Shannon Cavanagh's punishment tf?My understanding about Shannon Cavanagh’ s punishment for highlighting governance failures was a loss of membership to Wests Magpies and as a result had to pay $10 to see Wests Magpies play at Lidcombe. I thought he remained Chairman and a Director of Wests Magpies?

Oops lol.gall, I got a... oops cant find that page 404 error.
We’ve gone from pure bullshit to no bullshit at CEO. HBG just need to prove they’re not full of shit.How is Richo not extended already... He has deadset proved himself hands down and why not lock one of the best game operators for 3 years before others poach. He WANTS to stay and seems all leaks have gone and the place seems a lot happier.
This would be a classic Tigers move of delaying this and then losing him.
I for one am a massive fan of him and excited he has the balls to make the calls
