For what it’s worth, I applied for one of independent board roles. I’m currently on two other boards after being a CEO for 20 years in medical/healthcare. Life long tigers supporter as well as a level 2 coach and player for 20 odd years. Not directly involved in sport in a management role but have been on different committees over the years, one being with Balmain back with George Stone, if anyone remembers him.
Anyway,I didn’t expect to be appointed but I’m very interested, obviously, with the way the wt have been managed lately at board level and I thought I would see the process. I must say it seemed fairly thorough and I actually interviewed 3 times. In the end their position was even though I was “eminently qualified” as an independent board memberI didn’t fit the bill in sports experience and what I believe they meant as “networked” enough.
The only thing I would say is that, from general discussions, I think they had already decided on several positions and that it would be 50/50 gendered. My impression,not their comments, instead of the best 4 applicants, regardless of gender etc.
Overall I’m relatively happy with the appointments, we shall see.

I believe the NRL has put ratio in place for Club Boards.

Thx @dazza65

The business acumen element should have been more highly weighted IMO.

Leave the football to Richo.

Please apply again.

My reply to Spartan was to reply to his call that HBG were stalling.....for what purposes.

As can be seen people on here went through a process lately......so nothwas stalled.

They required 3 more directors.....even if they were that way inclined 3 persons aren't currently available on the HBG they could've selected for the WT board.

So it's a furphy they weren't looking for 3 independents and the petition forced their hand.....unless you think the 3 independents selected of that calibre were willing to be stuffed around.

Spartan also mentioned HBG currently supply 3 directors but they only supply 2.

Besides I was aware the 3 independents were selected about 10 days ago and mentioned it here prior to BTR podcast

No one cares anymore about HBG . Now they’ve appointed the wests tigers board , and created separation and strong governance practices , they can do whatever they want .
For the millionth time , and every time , you ignore this . IT WAS ONLY EVER ABOUT WESTS TIGERS !
Read that over and over as much as possible . Because there’s a tigers after the wests . Not magpies . READ IT CLOSELY

Sounds like good experience there dazza! If you got through 3 interviews, you must have been very close to getting a spot. I can imagine Health certainly might have some good partnership opportunities - you only have to look at NIB and the Knights

I never said that …. I cracked a joke about sayings and deliberately changing them to nonsense …
Why did you copy it like that ?

Sorry mate, I just realised that as I hit post. I was just sharing my opinions on that proverb in general.

Good watch

I’d like to know what power the Wests Tigers Board has, eg do they have the power to make major decisions such as stadium plans without any outside interference. The reason I bring it up is to see who should be held responsible moving forward.

The Wests Tigers Board has the power to do most things, right up to and extending beyond appointing its own management team.

There are reserved matters such as Stadiums etc that the ownership group has to approve.
