I have contacted Romero before but she never responds.

Some on here have been misguided about the HBG board structure and have mentioned the word "democratic" at times. There is nothing democratic about the HBG structure. But as in recent times in our Nation, people power can make a difference and we need to muster all our resources to mount a challenge to Romero & Burgess.

Vote with your wallets folks! Threaten to resign from the Ashfield, Campbo clubs. Threaten to resign from the Weststigers Membership and demand that they allow for the Review to be fully implemented.

If Weststigers were on a shelf in Woolies or Coles the Health Dept would have removed them from the shelves due to spoilage! Romero & Burgess are way past their use by date!

If someone knows how to set up a CHANGE.org petition for the resignation of Romero & Burgess et al please advise:

Change.org · The world’s platform for change

www.change.org www.change.org

It's pretty clear that for an ex Muso Burgess is completely tone deaf and Romero is hardly an inspirational Leader!

Let's make the effort folks! Time to unleash our inner Beasts! One Jungle - No Bungles!

The NRL needs to maintain a presence in the Campbelltown area … they won’t be doing anything to upset that and perhaps leaving a vacuum for the AFL to exploit in one of Australia’s fastest growing areas, and with 10,000 juniors according to Richo …

The ownership could change if the NRL wants to have that shit fight …. But if it does , Balmain won’t be back even with Triguboff the new owner

10% of the country’s Pacific Islander population resides in Ctown. If the NRL or the club wants to ignore that, go nuts.

We can't be repping "One Jungle" as the club slogan with all this in fighting & back stabbing.

Common Ground needs to be the focus and that's simply the brand and achieving ongoing success.

I cannot see how the toxic culture we continually see at board level can be ignored any longer.

Time for anyone who doesn't want to be a part of the brand to step down 🙂

there are a lot of fan bases around the world that hates their teams ownership ….look at the New York Jets and Man U as two of the biggest examples …

Unfortunately nothing ever changes 😢

No doubt.

Doesn't seem common in the NRL though.
Excuse my ignorance if that's not true.

Just seems like Wests Tigers as a brand are continually being embarrassed, by, not just the board but multiple things.... however the board is a massive contributing factor this ongoing embarrassment.

Most workplaces have policy and procedures in place to ensure employees do not bring disrepute to the brand / organisation... these board members need to be held accountable for the drama they cause.

When Benny went to HBG with an offer they responded with, you can buy the BFC’s 10%, which was rightly refused. So HBG are possibly thinking if they can get it into private hands and then offer a profitable buy back it gives them 100%? I don’t know that the ARL or NRL would endorse that though?

That's not what I mean. I don't think HBG will ever sell their share. The clowns in charge love the power.

What I mean is this:

HBG, or the Wests Tigers more accurately, will need to apply for renewal of their NRL licence. As far as I know, the licenses are not perpetual.

If a consortium (let's say, Balmain RLFC) was put together to challenge that renewal, i.e. pick us, not them, it could mean HBG (Wests Tigers), lose the NRL licence to that consortium.

We don't know how the NRL feel about HBG and the infighting (maybe they don't give a shit), but if they are fed up with it, they may block a Wests Tigers renewal if HBG are in charge or give favour to another entity, particularly if it's a compelling and well backed bid. If I was Elias and Co., now would be the time to make noise about this..."it's not working, let us takeover and stop the fighting, the members can vote us out if they don't like us etc." it becomes compelling for the fans and the NRL compared to what we have today.

Just saying they need to be careful, because it could bring about unintended consequences for them. Stranger things have happened and money talks.

I think firstly we need some transparency & honesty from the club from either Richo or O'Farrell on the status of the Wests Tigers constitution, by-laws, appointment of independent directors & who holds the decision-making power on our future board.

If the Wests Tigers as an entity has independent power in decision-making through its board with its majority owner HBG only holding one position on the board that would put our minds at ease.

Otherwise maybe we need to identify a corporate governance legal expert as potentially any underhanded behaviour by members of the WT board (i.e. Burgess & Montgomery) may be in breach of WT by-laws (much like HBG has served notice to Wayde, Tony, Gilbert etc). Gary Barnier might be worth a call.

I believe licences are being renewed this off season. Will double check though.
 
Please sign the Petition folks - if we sit back and wait for these incompetents to run roughshod over the club we will be facing obliteration in 2025.

https://chng.it/6QVt9yTHcy

We need 5 signatures to go public - then I will continue to make the effort to push this forward. I need email addresses for Richo, Barry O etc, so if you can please provide them that will help as I am in Adelaide and it's still 1955 at the moment so things move slow.

C'mon folks - it's time to Roar!

I’m referring to suggestions that the NRL would agree to sell the Wests Tigers to a Balmain based consortium and move them back to Leichhardt full time …never gunna happen

Nothing stopping them bringing Balmain back and still keeping the same areas as now. I think if it did happen then Balmain would still play games in Campbelltown as well to maintain and foster the junior presence there.

Anything is possible …but just not feeling it … the NRL will be prioritising the MacArthur region over Balmain …the name change might offend

The same dude that orchestrated the demise of Lee just happens to be the guy that has his "private texts" leaked.
Are you all that blind? The whole story is unsubstantiated by any objective evidence and rides on the agenda of a power driven turd who specializes in manipulating weak minded lemmings to take up his fight for him.
Wake up and smell the coffee.

Are you saying that getting rid of those two clowns wasn’t the right thing to do?
You also seem to be of the opinion that Romero and Burgess are the good guys here. 🤣
I doubt very much there would ever have been any more incompetent people involved on any board.

Maybe Balmain (or any other entity buying the licence) would be happy to keep the name as long as the place was run properly.
Remembering WestsTigers has been in Campbelltown more than twice as long as Wests ever were.

I didn't say any of that.
I'm saying that there's one person who created a non existent story to further his own agenda.
The entire story is the manifestation of his manipulations to get you, the podcasters, and everyone else on here who is reacting like it's the gospel according to Chammas, to react the way you are.

Oh dear. I think you need a big brew of the coffee you tslk about. If he's the problem, then the other two must be a problem too. One of which has more experience in club administration than I've ever seen.

None of the article was about fighting for him.

The evidence is there. Just read between the lines. Julie's message could have set it straight, but it was all non committal fluff.
