I don’t even know that’s true. Usually it would be a massive call for a club to do this all in one go, but this lot were so incompetent that it can’t put us in a worse position. The optics probably aren’t great, but who cares. They deserved to be outed this way.

Are they really outed? Or did they just reduce their workload, reduce their responsibilities?
So many things are temporary with these guys. Sacking people doesn't excite me like it does others. I want to see Organisational strength as a result of policies and procedures. I'll reserve my judgement for 12 months.
But Congratulations to the HBG board members for having the courage to have a good look and take the first steps promptly.
Lets see if they have the courage to appoint arm's length meritorious Directors.

OK. The board-gone
Pascoe-gone
Sheens-gone
Brooks-gone

I doubt 2024 will be much of an improvement on the past 2 seasons as we haven't signed major new talent in the players squad.
Benji will be learning the ropes.

So let's not start hunting for new scapegoats if the results don't start coming, alright?

Great post.

Talking about the Board here - how would they have been punted? It was an independent review with non-binding recommendations.

Holman Barnes could do what they please, including ignoring the recommendations... in fact, including smothering the recommendations which were not required to be made public. Private review for a privately-run organisation.

So to that extent, Holman Barnes absolutely had the power to appoint themselves. They've been doing it ever since they existed.

Holman Barnes voted to dissolve the board, requiring its own directors like Andreacchio and Wayde to resign.

Burgess only became chairman after Cavanagh got suspended due to Lee H's hissy fit. Cavanagh was the only official who had the balls to call out the whole governance issue of the WT. When he he put in a legal complaint over the way he had been treated the Magpies led by Burgess stabbed him in the back, distanced themselves from him and backed Lee H. No way Burgess should be anywhere near the board.

Cavenagh was on the money.

It can get worse.

A loss of identity within the WT of Balmain. Could've already happened, thankfully it wasn't the case.

A loss of identity within the WT from the magpies legacy.

Financial demise, relocation, exclusion.

I've seen it. All of it. That's how I know.

At least we have a club.

Balmain closed theirs. We are supporting them and are happy to do it for inclusiveness.

We have something to build on.

We?

Given the status of the club I think everyone today that was given the sack would be ineligible to come back onto the board. Re-appointing any of them will not go down well when we’ve been calling for change. Bringing them back doesn’t do that and the only way to move forward is with different people. Stapleton is still on there since I don’t think Balmain can appoint anyone else to represent them.

Actually, the Balmain director Danny Stapleton has been kept on as interim director on the 4 member board.
