Howard left in 2007 replaced by Rudd. We were in the black. I didn't sit there and talk about anything to do with why...just what it was. The point is we went from being in the black to being deeply in the red in an incredibly short period of time.
You don't get it at all.
Why?
Most of our forwards put a hurtin' on me.
He is a winger
Good work looking it all up, I was trying to find the info at times but couldn't find anything concrete. Imo if HBG and also by extension in the past Wests Campbelltown and Balmain Leagues thought that the amount they were providing was sufficient or still is, it's evident to me imo we will get nowhere in the current ownership structure. If we are that far behind the other clubs in terms of funding from HBG then it just shows me everyone involved in the club now and in the past we're just happy to have a team running around in first grade, while us fans crave success they just wanted to participate. That form of commitment won't lead to any sustained success long term unless there's a serious change in viewpoint from the owners, in that through pumping money into the Tigers it eventually in a decade provides success which brings in more members, sponsors 3rd party deals, corporate opportunities so the club can stand on its own to feet and maintain a competative and successfull future. If the owners are just happy to have a team in the comp we will never get anywhere. I'm no expert but think this points to a bigger picture issue of how the debenture structure at HBG isn't ideal. Imo if there were actual real corporate and business leaders running HBG I think we would be getting much more funding. It boggles my mind that not making finals for now 14 years noone in the HBG boardroom has thought maybe we need to be pumping more money into the Tigers.We have some company in terms of revenue, but we are dead last. I'm unsure what those other clubs get from their leagues clubs. Bulldogs are about mid and they generate about 19.5 million. We are on around 13.5 million. So I'm even comparing to middle of the road we are about 6 mill behind.
The Dogs leagues club tops them up another 7 mill. We get 1.8 mill from HBG as a grant. We are miles behind. All up we operate on about half of what the dogs do.
Here's the detail.

The Daily Telegraph reported on a secret document that outlined just how far ahead the Broncos were compared to their NRL brethren. I wasnt overly fond of thefootyindustry.com
Benji just wants to be around his mates. Always has, even from his playing days. Idk, maybe it stems from him coming from a broken home, which is why he pushes the family thing so hard. But this is supposed to be a professionally run footy club.
Yes and NOT hire everyone from the 2005 squad.
Your an interesting cat Fridge Magnet 🤔
I was out at Lidcombe a couple of weeks back and big Royce had zero impact against Penrith’s Reserve Grade side 🤷♂️
That's such a shame.
No YOU don't get it. I didn't make the comment to argue how good or bad John Howard was.
There's not a lot of accountability in their structure simply becuase the members can't vote them in or out.
Why is the worst team in the comp getting rid of him? He scores so many tries. Has an adequate tackle efficiency for a winger. You'd think they'd keep a guy who has scored 53 in 53 games?
That’s what we said about Marika Koroibete and Josh Addo-Carr when they were regularly scoring long range tries for us in Reserve Grade and we ended up letting them go because we didn’t believe they were good enough defenders.
Vicious. They are last. He doesn't make a difference to them. Why would he make a difference to us?
