Breaking news: HBG takeover

[pacey]

At what point do we have to rally together and stand up to the board. I don’t want to suggest a protest but it does feel warranted if the rumours are true

 

[tigahhh]

us fans deserve so much better

Members of this forum who are BALD must refrain from mentioning DENNIS and his hair. Some will start to think it is a jealousy thing.

Good call. I happen to think Denis’ hair is the total cause of the problem.

If Richo walks it’s dead set sabotage. I’ll march with whoever else can’t stand this crap.

Luai is one smart operator. What a genius to have that release clause

There is a thread on reddit about dudes taking photos before and after they shave their head . Nearly to a man every single former photo looks like the worst mullets you’ve ever seen , combined with hulk hogan without his bandana on. It literally looks like people tape raccoons to their head , and the choose to not do it anymore. Everytime I see them , I think white possum tape to Dennis’s head ..

I will apologise if I'm wrong, but I 100% know he will celebrate what happened today.

I followed his various interactions with you and others closely. I don’t agree. Nobody with any regard for the future of WT would see a shred of positivity in this. His major issue was, in my opinion, his perception of disrespect for the history and legacy of the Magpies.

What garbage. Your anger is misdirected.

….. that dude created pages and pages of vitriol and drama on here , advocating for these chumps. And here they are torpedoing the club as was predicted by a few a year or 2 ago.

It’s 2025. NRL has set itself up to have great product and a successful future with forward thinking management. And we are run by a bunch of dinosaurs that wish it was the 1970’s again

Yeh really. It means the colour of the jersey was allegedly part of the problem for HBG. If you know more than that, then share with the class.

And that right there is the issue the Magpies died in 1999 why are we still trying to appease a club that doesn’t even exist in first grade anymore

Be angry at HBG not BZN. He’s a very small cog.

According to sources with knowledge of the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity, one issue that led the HBG board to take action was the colour scheme of next season’s Wests Tigers home jersey, which was deemed to be too gold – a traditional colour of Balmain.

OK...im not up to speed on all things re governance....but surely the WTs board including Burgess had to meet and agree on the new jerseys?

So whats happened?

Has Burgess kept quiet about it to HBG...or have they just decided to go with it and use it as the pathetic petty juvenile and amateur excuse it is to remove the independants?

Wouldnt surprise me...I dont trust a word Paton said....Id also like to know what their REAL reasons are for investing so heavily into the old Balmain Leagues Club Deve;opment....doesnt take much imagination to wotk that one out

Jesus I rememeber the days I would bemoan constantly that 50/50 was holding us back and we needed one side with authority.....doesnt seem so bad now LOL

Bring on the bears !!! ❤️🖤🤍

I would've supported a Perth team had they been in the NRL when I started following.

Don't have great hope for them with Mal Meninga in charge though.

It's such a ridiculous mop, so big a pelican could nest in it, being such a devoted magpie's supporter it's a wonder he hasn't added some black to it.

We shall see.

It took them an age to find 4 independent members who lasted less than 12 months. People don't seriously believe that they want independent people making decisions!!
If Richo still supports an independent board I'll be stunned if he doesn't walk.

The answer is obvious.

The NRL needed to pull HBG heads in a long time ago …I actually suspected that the NRL drove this whole Richo appointment behind the scenes to get the Independent Board in place …looks like that may not be the case ..

Sadly they didn't, hopefully they will get involved this time.

Not to me… explain it please
