Breaking news: HBG takeover

[Lestronge]

Does anyone not like the New Jerseys ? I think they’re both mad . I also think we should have a full black jersey , like the broncos got . With mild white lines . That would be awesome as well. Completely away from both the traditional Balmain and wests

Nothing explicit; however, a subordinate board usually has guidelines set and has to act within them. If the senior board has concerns they usually have the power of veto. It is seldom used as it is a way to force conversations to be had before final decsions are made.

I can't say I've seen it written anywhere though.

Seems the WT board had even less authority than I thought …

 

[coivtny]

OK..misunderstood....I thought you were questioning that the jerseys had sold out

I was trying to think what motive WTs would have in saying that if it werent true

No, not at all but I can see where you would have got that impression. The jerseys seemed to attract 99% positive comments and I would not be surprised they sold out.
I’m just in a bad mood tonight and seem to be taking a contrarian view on a lot of the comments. To be honest I’m as pissed off as anyone but I just hate the childish comments about Burgess’ hair or dragging poor old BZN into it when he hadn’t said “boo” tonight.
I think I’ll put myself on mute for the rest of the night.

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.

They will implode the club because of a jersey colour, that will do me. I wonder what colour they think a tiger is.

 

[magpies forever]

I knew about it , but the way it was explained to me it was for huge decisions . Like where the tigers will be playing , major sponsors , replacement of key figures in the club like ceo , coach , gm ……not the colour of the jerseys

Stadiums seem a more potent decision

I can't believe this, just when you think things are getting better we go from one shit fight to another.

 

[Lestronge]

That’s my point. No one has anything positive to say. Nor should they.

Sorry , I misinterpreted , you’re saying why are you singled out as being negative when the whole thread is …. I think cause you went after Benji. It’s not really applicable to HBG.

What was getting better?

“Going after Benji’ is a bit harsh. All I said was it wouldn’t be the worst thing if he was sacked. And it was only in response to someone already predicting it.

Anyone who understands corporate governance. Is this final or can the independant board push back and refuse.

 

[hammertime]

The only way that HBG can be removed is probably
- The debenture holders come to their god damn senses and implement proper governance at HDB (unlikely)
- NSW L&G sees the dysfunction at the board level, step in and do the above.
- If there is a court case for the 3 removed directors, it ends with the dismissal of the problem people (i.e. dennis)
- NRL suspend the license until proper governance is installed at the ownership level. PVL has the balls and I hope he does this.
- Media pressure from us, and our leaders like Benji and Richo.

 

[innsaneink]

I’m far from daft, I can assure you. I don’t agree with your take on it but that’s OK. But why don’t you try a response that doesn’t include a personal attack i.e the daft remark. It diminishes you.
My personal attacks are always reserved for returns of serve but I’ll spare you this time.

And what did you think of BZNs personal attacks

Plenty of them, hard to miss

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Personal attacks are admittance to losing the argument.

we can read it we don’t need your play-by-play. we heard you to fourth time
it’s our kind way of saying STFU

Depends on the agreement that they formed. Sounds like HBG put a lot of catches in there.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

No, it’s your way. You’re the only one who’s been triggered by it.

 

[Tito Santana]

I hate the claw marks on the jersey. Looks very 2004.

2010 jerseys were the best - in black!

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Nope. Someone said Benji might be sacked. I said that wouldn’t be the worst thing. That’s all. You painting it like I in came and shat on Benji unprompted is disingenuous.

Come on mate it's me your talking to now, you have been snapping at his arse all year, the club's all in on him now you need to wear it if he goes most of the roster goes too

Do you really want to rebuild again.

 

[coivtny]

Yes he made them and he copped plenty. I can’t recall whether he started them or returned fire and I’m sure you’d agree it’s not worth anyone’s while to trawl back to find out whether he was the instigator or the retaliator.
I think BZN is late 70s and sometimes you have to make allowances. He’ll hate me for saying that but I’d discount his comments a little.
