Big difference in modest financial and personal rewards, to organisational profitability on the back of successful management.

I get what Hammertime is suggesting though.Yes we need structural reform, but the bare minimum is to remove the current board, they have proven they can't make good decisions, can't plan strategically, can't suck to a plan for more then 2 years, can't stop leaking information to the press etc. Someone new appointed from HBG may just possess the skills and experience required, they may not, but any change brings about the possibility of positive growth that we currently don't have
I wouldn't mind a structure like that, Balmain Leagues doesn't exist as a separate entity anymore so would have to be a Balmain football club rep.I get what Hammertime is suggesting though.
And yes I understand it is a business but to what benefit does the Wests Tigers club have from 3 Wests Ashfield board members being a large share of the board?
Wouldn’t it be beneficial for all if we had 1 representatives from each of our owners make up part of the board.
That is 1 Balmain Leagues / football club rep.
1 Wests Magpies rep
1 Holman Barnes rep on a six way board with 3 independents.

The Holman Barnes Group and Wests Ashfield are the same thing essentially.No
What you have missed is you get a 3-3 split. You don't want a 3-3 split on a board.
You want a 7 member board that forces a majority decision. Although you may not have included Lee H in the numbering above.
Tweeking the numbers above:

1 Wests Magpies rep
1 Wests Ashfield Rep - to represent the club.

That board you have described is heavily slanted.No

If they have any common sense, part of the review outcome recommendations would be for the vast majority of fans to mind their own business and stop assuming they know all about the decisions and happenings at board level and that’s regardless of whether or not there are changes to the current board,I wouldn't mind a structure like that, Balmain Leagues doesn't exist as a separate entity anymore so would have to be a Balmain football club rep.
Looking forward to the recommendations of the review.
That is why the review was important, there is obviously something very wrong at the club. We all have our opinions on what that may be, but it is important to know what is wrong.If they have any common sense, part of the review outcome recommendations would be for the vast majority of fans to mind their own business and stop assuming they know all about the decisions and happenings at board level and that’s regardless of whether or not there are changes to the current board,

Part of the review findings SHOULD be for those decisions and happenings to be kept in house and not leaked in an effort to gain an advantage over one another!If they have any common sense, part of the review outcome recommendations would be for the vast majority of fans to mind their own business and stop assuming they know all about the decisions and happenings at board level and that’s regardless of whether or not there are changes to the current board,
In most organisations the Chairnan has the casting vote, if necessary.No

Lee would probably argue they were “investments” not expenditure !Those expensive luncheons Lee throws id like to see that expenditure breakdown on where those bucks have been wasted.
You blokes do realise that all the furniture, computers etc. for the new building isn't free right?
- Nor is it included in the construction costs...
We're also on the back of paying out 2 under-performing coaches, So money might be tight for a bit.
It must have been budgeted for, Otherwise we wouldn't be knocking back big money from ANZ / Commbank.

Wests Tigers financial shortfall covered for now … but that may not always be the case

We need a few faces from the south West on the board or in management. There's a glimmer of hope here.Roy Masters has always been a great rugby league writer.
The thing is - he always has a purpose in each article.
We have a review underway that the the Holman-Barnes Group commissioned.
Ramifications still uncertain.
Or are they?
Looks maybe like change to board structure to come, and (WOW!) the best thing - if it happens - the Wests club at Campbelltown to rejoin the Wests Tigers board (sort of ties in with the club's ref0cus in the south west.
Such positives are real changes in the long term.
I am looking forward to what comes.
