WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

[finnzo]

Finnzo ive been meaning to post a pic of this guy for so long now but didnt know if
i'd get shot down for it. But thank you for doing it mate. These are the types of clowns we have on our board and expect to be successful?.....WHAT A JOKE!!!

Nothing against the guy I’m sure he’s trying he’s hardest and it takes balls to have a hair cut like that at his age but with all respect this is not the appearance of a successful board member hahaha get a hair cut or get out hahhaha

 

[BZN]

The funny thing is I’m actually bald and I have a big mo and I’m only 29 hahaha was bald at the age of 21

Pleased to see you have a sense of humor and didn't take offence to my post 👍🙂
And I'm sure you are just as handsome as the fella in the photo in your posts.

What's the story with the Newcastle Junior?

To be perfectly honest, I can’t remember his name Nabuht something. He is a 6’4 centre signed to start SGball. next year progressing into Flegg. @balmain boy would know for sure.

 

[Needaname]

There had been rumours that Cook was the leak to the media, not saying its true just that it was a rumour. I guess we'll find out over the next few months.

Well he wouldn’t be staying in his CEO Holman Barnes job if he was a problem. Possibly he just subconsciously mentioned things without much understanding of the impact, more so than doing it to destabilise the whole joint.

Navren Willett, joining us in 2024.

He's still finishing high school up in Taree this year, but did pre-season in Sydney during his break.

I know he did a few sessions with NRL while he was here, so the club rates him highly.

He's the same age as Da Silva, Miller, Laulilii etc.

I wonder what John's taste in music is.

WT need to appoint more ex players on the board to replace the one's who have never even caught a ball.

Thoughts on galea?

 

[Flippedy]

Yeah but what goes on in the head to decide to get a haircut like that at his age? Hahaha

Haha yeah the cut and the colour…looks like the lead singer of Sweet back in the day😂

 

[Halbrowne61]

I don't get it, how did Pascoe and Lee let this happen?? A person that's actually competent now on the board.

Well we hope so, haven’t seen him in action yet. Let’s hope he brings some footy perspective.

 

[Halbrowne61]

I had signed footy card of him as kid. He was playing for Norths then.
More ex players and less tripped out rockers.

Some would say they are a bit the same 🤣

 

[Halbrowne61]

Great player, nice guy and a feel good story. However, I can't see that the appointment of another ex player from the distant past making the slightest bit of difference to the club's fortunes.

Well let’s hope he reads the forum then he’ll have plenty to contribute at board meetings, like Tiger Ones jokes and What Song are We listening to now!
Plus heaps of really good footy advice for the board, the coaches and the players.

100 percent

 

[balmain boy]

Wonder if this is enough of a "footy brain" change to placate anyone? Very interesting, because Simon Cook has stepped down and he's the Wests Ashfield (now Holman Barnes) CEO, i.e. one of the "top dogs".

What footy experience does he have from the past 20-30 years?

 

[balmain boy]

Hopefully Andreachio and Wayde step down soon as well. They are both directors of HB Group and on the boards of WSDRLFC, Wests Tigers and Western Suburbs Cricket Club. They must both be pushing 70 if not already past it. I bet they get confused at what actual board meeting they are attending.

Yep, one down but there's still several more heads that need to roll...

 

[TigerTone]

Well we hope so, haven’t seen him in action yet. Let’s hope he brings some footy perspective.

Its only one person thats come in and one gone out , there are still another 8 or 9
or however many remain that havent changed. So im not sure how much one new board member can do.
But in saying that , good luck to him and i dont hope that he can make some changes.

sick of seeing snippets of WTs letting in a try,when they are talking about the woe"s of any1 but us,nrl promotions fox t ads , games-golden point,great victories etc etc,nearly always we are seen as a loosing side

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

Wayne Pearce has finished up his time at ARL I believe? Surely he'd be worth picking up the phone too...problem is though that the board are made up of people that still see so much through wests vs balmain lense...hard to see much progress while that remains. I do hope to be honest that a leagues club in rozelle managed by "Holman Barnes" may be the beginning of that old thinking breaking down...

Yeh, we seem to be on a lot of other teams highlights reels. Too many to be coincidence.
