SMH Article 'We’ve lost faith in them’: Balmain consider shock exit from Wests Tigers merger

No we can't, that's the point.

That was always a separate issue within the club.

The thread is about BRLFC leaking emails putting forward BS ultimatums to their JV partner which has been nothing but loyal.

Shows the self interest and deflection Gas lighting from some members.

This has poisoned the atmosphere for me and many others.

And all on speculation without evidence.

A low pathetic act.

The behaviour of both sides of the joint ventures governance has been poor in recent months. I'm happy to call both sides out and have done so. I believe Richo was giving them both a whack in that interview. I'm happy to move on.

In Richo we trust!

What confuses me though is why Stapleton who sits on the Interim Board would say in an email to Balmain directors last week that a controlling faction of HBG may want to unwind the review recommendations. Wouldn’t he be across the status as much as Richo?

Needed to address why there was a change to the interim board. Even if Gilbert joined under the premise that it was only to be a 6-month term. Why has he been replaced as the HBG representative?

Also, it seems only the independent directors need to satisfy the competency test? So 3x members will be on the board purely because they represent a shareholder, rather than having the requisite skills.

I'll breathe easy once the new board with 4 independent directors has been installed. Until then, I'm skeptical. After all, it's the Wests Tigers. Like I've said in a previous post, shit gets leaked because it's happening, not made up.

Agree , all directors should meet the requirement to satisfy A spot on the board , everyone ,

This has been interesting for me. I'm genuinely surprised at how few people share my opinions on this. I think what I've realised is that I actually don't really have a connection to this club and its supporters any longer. I've lived in the UK for the past 15 years and still watch every Tigers game on live stream no matter what time of morning/ night it is. My 8 year old son wears a Wests Tigers jersey (with that god awful ambulance chasing logo on the front), I listen to any podcast going. Some of my fondest memories are of being on the Hill at Leichhardt (first game - 1983 vs the great Parramatta team of the day). So I do actually feel more than qualified to express opinions about the Club, it's current state and its future. But I realise now that the affinity I had with the club and its supporters is no longer there. So I'm going to step away...finally. I'm Balmain Tigers, not Wests Tigers. Always have been really. So, see you down the road as they say. There's plenty of Tigers games on Youtube these days. I do wish the 'club' good luck.

They do, they live on within the JV which is a new club.

But 90% of your posts were pushing speculation and other BS without evidence.

Likewise with some of the others posting behind their multiple accounts.

Leaves a sour taste.

No one has any real evidence mate, this is a forum. It's built on speculation. But I knew that there was a coup at HBG back in March, they had been slow to implement the changes (was promised June), barry o'farrell reinterview and that Dennis (and the other bloke) had recently taken a spot on the board over a far more experienced member.

Anyone looking at that objectively had a right to be concerned. I think people still living in the past with their online handles tend to have certain blinkers on.

That interview could have been smart railroading from Richo.

I’ll worry when Richo resigns … if the disfunction is still there… he wont put up with it for long

Disgusting.
