One bloke gets a default board position as no one else puts their hand up but not a single representative from the Campbelltown area. And people ask why we need a review.

Since Wests Campbelltown don’t take part of the board anymore, no one from the area would get a seat on the board. Unless it happened to be an independent.

Who gives a rats about a leagues cub? We're a football club representing the Campbelltown area. Why wouldn't you have representation on the board from that area?

Maybe no one was interested, I don’t really know the answer to that but I guess with the leagues club in Campbelltown pulling out of the club and selling their ownership, no one in the area wants to be involved. The Magpies themselves used their representative on Dennis Burgess who’s on the Ashfield board. They had the power to have a rep from the area but chose not to. Whether it was due to lack of interest I don’t know but that’s just my guess with the leagues club there wanting out, so did anyone that was interested if their was.

There is one Balmain guy there. That's it.
The problem has always been the Magpies side. Whining about jersey representation for 20 years,
When Bailey died I thought ok, things might change but no. His sycophants still remain.

On another note.. a million dollars won’t get you a flat in whoop whoop these days, anyone else think Brydens is taking the piss? Time to upgrade our major sponsor too. Our coach has always had marketing appeal so I reckon it’s a no-brainer.

Woop Woop hasn't existed for 100 years. In the nearest town to where it did exist, you can buy a 5 bedroom house for around $500,000. (Collie).

But, how often do you buy a new flat outright? Every year? For the same price? Irrespective of the fact that the buttons 1-8 on the block of unit's elevator has been faulty for the last 12 years??

So its more around $9,000,000 and counting which is certainly not taking the piss.

Time to upgrade our sponsor?? to what? Wokka Noodles??? Herbal World? Signature Security??? This is WESTS TIGERS we are talking about here. Skando can only play so many golf games in a calendar year mate.

I enjoyed your reply
 
Telegraph headline got me more excited than the Nofo one
Something about D Day and directors facing their end by Tuesday
Is it possible ? We could finally take action !
 
The Wests Tigers’ boardroom drama is finally expected to be resolved on Tuesday night as Holman Barnes Group directors prepare to face their own mortality at their final board meeting of the year.
The Tigers’ majority owners have had a snapshot of the independent review into the club’s governance but are yet to put the report’s recommendations into action.
That time has now arrived as the club faces a defining moment in their history.
The Holman Barnes Group, responding to the protests of club supporters, courageously backed a review into the club.
It will all be for nothing if they now ignore the recommendations, which are likely to see the board significantly overhauled as the Tigers look to form a more rounded group of directors capable of comparing favourably with the game’s elite clubs.
The expectation is that the review will recommend they start again.

For that to happen, Holman Barnes Group directors will need to vote for their own demise.
The alternative would be to dig in their heels and face the wrath of Tigers fans. Most interest will surround the future of chair Lee Hagipantelis and chief executive Justin Pascoe.
Hagipantelis is expected to go as part of sweeping changes at board level, although he will likely be given the chance to apply again for a place on the board.
Pascoe’s future is likely to be for another day.
The review, conducted by former NRL chief financial officer Tony Crawford and managing director of Cooperage Capital Pty Ltd, Gary Barnier, was aimed at governance rather than club operations and there is a view that Pascoe should be given the chance to show what he can do without board interference.
The other concern is that boardroom ructions threaten to become a distraction to coach Benji Marshall as he attempts to reshape his squad and make them more competitive heading into the 2024 season, hence the desire to resolve the issue before the new year.

The club is knee-deep in talks with Penrith superstar Jarome Luai and Warriors prop Addin Fonua-Blake, Marshall having personally led negotiations with the pair.
Marshall is also attempting to clean out some of the players who haven’t performed in recent years, led by winger David Nofoaluma.

The Samoan international has two years remaining on a contract that is due to pay him about $500,000 a season but Marshall and the club have made it clear that he is free to leave.
In a sign of how far his stocks have slid, the Tigers haven’t been able to generate any interest in Nofoaluma and he recently sat out training in protest at his treatment.
While the Tigers need the cap space to sign Luai and Fonua-Blake, it is understood the stance on Nofoaluma is purely performance related – he has struggled to keep his place in the NRL side in recent seasons.

A big call for the directors to vote themselves out for the good of the club, although Simon Cook did lead the way.
Will be interesting to watch the outcome !
 
It will be interesting to see if we have Captain Smith or Captain Schettino in charge of the goodship WT.Both failed but one of them had balls to accept blame and go down when he needed to
