Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

[426Tlgerland]

It is not about filling the board with Balmain people, it is about getting board that is appropriately skilled to run a modern-day sporting organisation.

With only 4 on the board with 3 punted , what do we think will happen now ( Dave 6 months his spot stays on hold and the other 2 - 6 and 8 years be replaced by hand picked Romero / Burgess supporters , one thing may help us , the amount of media this is driving may keep shit heads away from joining the board now , specially if the review is all about being wound back and Remaro and co go back on the Wests Tigers Board again , back where we started

Would be helpful to know what was in the review’s recommendations?
What is it that those two are so afraid of?
Let me guess?
The $100 which gets you a 1 in 20 chance of a seat, is adjusted for inflation and should now be $2170?

 

[hank37w]

Your $2170 assessment appears to be pretty spot on. 👍

 

[Buttface]

Personally, I think the 1948 GF was a better win lol.

Nice. 👏👏

The importance review recommendation was the appointment of skilled independent directors onto the Wests Tigers board.

I can see a couple of directors who would be fearful of that being a prerequisite. 😉

100%, we need better than what would have been acceptable in the 1990s…ironically that’s where some of these people appear to be trapped.

Is Rick with us or against us? Is this good or bad news? I know he was a magpie. Before. What a dick if he doesn't align with Wests Tigers. Also does Romero follow football? Or just lining her pockets? I guess my question is - is this good or bad news for us - the fans? I mean no fans - team is dead.

Just to throw a cat amongst the pigeons, here is Rick at a Wests Tigers game.

Wests Ashfield has been governed this way since inception. So no surprise the football club has been average and have been in a constant battle for survival throughout its history. Folks buy their way into a position of influence, as long as they have mates who’ve already bought their way in and have the same views.

Correct
I rememeber my old man ranting about them every time we drove past the club (which was often) in the 60s and 70s.

Not convinced Rick Wayde is as innocent as suggested. I just don't think there is enough information out there other than his own account of what has transpired.

However, that doesn't change the fact that the HBG board couldn't organise a chook raffle and should leave WT to be run be people who know what they're doing.

And John Dorahy too - what happened to him on our board?

You may be right about Rick Wayde’s innocence, but he had a hand in getting the review rolling didn’t he?
There seems to be a few dots starting to join for me, a common thread if you like?
Whenever a substantial achievement is recognised, it seems to move the person responsible closer to the exit door.
Sheens should have known his time was nearing an end when he got us into the finals 3 times.
I’m hopeful that we can keep Sam Fainu after he won the Kelly Barnes, because that puts a player closer to the door.
What does this say about the club’s culture?

He stepped down after the unanimous vote in favour of implementing the review recommendations like every other board member.

It gets a 5 in 20 chance for the board. 1/4 of the debenture holders are on the board.

I have told you before, I don't care if people use any of our names mate. Wests, Tigers or Wests Tigers is all the same thing mate.

I'm so sorry daddy that I didn't listen to you the 1st time you told me...please don't hit with that wooden spoon again. 🥲

Thanks champion @TigerJunior4 - I thought that might have been the case.

I know nothing about the history of machinations in the management of the joint venture. All I hear about is bloated egos and ongoing rifts. I honestly thought the club was on the up after the review.
As I see it now, the only people shielding the playing group from this bullshit are Richardson and Marshall. Does anyone in the WT administration believe that Galvin, Bula, Luai, or Koroisau are going to hang around for this shitshow?
It's pretty clear that the team and on field performance is the last priority for these clowns.

The purpose of the petition has been stated many times. It is not about supporting Andreacchio and Wayde.

They're all as culpable as each other for the performance of both Wests Magpies and subsequently WT. Wayde has been around since the 80s in various positions of influence for Wests Ashfield, Wests Magpies and Wests Tigers, which says something about the system Wests Magpies operates within generally.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Mate I appreciate your straight to the point style of posting.

I want WTs to be rite on the edge of the 8 this year and into the final 4 next year.
And I want Jerome Luai to be our highest ever try and point scorer before the end of the 20's.

Don't forget to wear a good lifejacket though when you are rock hopping if you want to see Luai turn on the entertainment and reach the pot of gold at the end of the 2029 season.

Only a fool goes rockfishing without a lifejacket and unfavourable conditions.

WOW! You found a photo of Rick seated next to Lee at Tommy Raudonikas' funeral. Well done mate. You've really put a cat amongst the pigeons here.

Lee and Pascoe were puppets, used and abused for as long as HBG (including Wayde) saw a use for them. Lee provided $1m in sponsorship, and took all the PR for the shit HBG power block were driving. Pascoe was a yes man to them.
