Leave both heritage clubs out, or potentially give Balmain and Magpies one seat each as they are a big part of junior development for the NRL franchise.

Joel though wouldn't the Tigers potentially still end up in the same position after, of people on the board of the Tigers representing other entities and not the Tigers. Hypothetically if there is this "change" what stops the next mob carrying on the same as the lot were stuck with now.

I can give you 3 reasons and that would be the 3 current owners of Wests Tigers. None of them in a million years would willingly give up there stake in Wests Tigers and there is no way of forcing them to do so. This is just pure fantasy stuff and not constructive at all !

Appropriate governance of the Wests Tigers is supposed to be at the core of all this ! Maybe that's where the focus should stay and not be diverted with such fanciful distractions !

Aren’t all the franchise contracts up for renewal in a few years?

HBG can have the pokies and Rozelle, and support Wests Magpies (their charter). Wests Tigers can play heritage games at Leichhardt but become MacArthur focussed (fast growing region in Australia), existing sponsors like Pepper and Wakelings would be happy.

Wests Group Campbelltown sold their shares because they felt as if they weren't heard by their Ashfield and Balmain counterparts when it came to the operation of Wests Tigers. the decision was recommended by former CEO, Tony Mathew, but was approved by the board at the time which has barely changed in the years that have followed.

take this as fact, WT and Richardson only contact WGC when they want cash. that's really the extent of the relationship. Richardson wants to build the relationship, but apart from funding the junior league to increase the number of participants, from my understanding WGC are nonplussed.

it's a good idea on your part Helmesy but WA won't sell and WGC are more than happy to sit on the sidelines and fund grassroots sport.

A bit. But Joel is probably just looking for a mental release with the way some people are posting. No one will earn any decent coin for wests tigers podcasts.

I still haven't heard a credible alternative option to fix an obvious problem that has manifested in us getting 3 wooden spoons, missing the finals for a decade and often impacts us being able to recruit quality.

Just seems like a big circle jerk from some who have no plan B besides the status quo.

I posted on another forum for this and they are suggesting 1 team, 1 ground, 1 owner.. and I mean they are right. But we are getting people pushing back ON TRYING for an obvious governance tweak.

We deserve the spoon again. Deadset laughing stock.

For me the credible option is waiting to see who they appoint onto the Wests Tigers board. I'll form an opinion on their actions then.

I never said I know something, I’m just really surprised that we haven’t all got to the point where we aren’t asking why this option isn’t on the table. It would solve a hell of a lot of issues once and for all. I would like to think these people are watching the situation very closely, in fact I reckon they would be because they seem pretty switched on.

Be really ironic if it was a consortium of Lee and Pascoe seeing as how they are big time sporting entrepreneurs these days.

Not real sure about the part where Wests fans would be ok with it and Balmain fans wouldn’t mind.

But in reality Richo would have to be involved in something like that because he believes and he sees the potential for it to be huge.

I think that's fair. That's only come out in recent days, potentially due to the pressure from the petition.

Would need to coupled with a very clean delineation to HBG if they keep the debenture setup. Fraught with potential issues as we've seen with the recent booting.
