Breaking news: HBG takeover

[Tucker]

It was the orange jersey folks

I thought orange was the new black?

 

[Charred]

HBG board meeting:

“Ok guys so onto our beloved WESTS [Tigers] NRL team. So that new CEO dude has managed to get that to return a profit for the first time in over a decade, he’s also managed to get the government to provide funding for 2 of the home grounds. He’s also got one of our most talented rosters we’ve had in forever and everything seems to be moving in the right direction with a good chance of finals footy”

“Objection, what’s this “finals footy” you speak of”

“Not too sure but I think it’s what all the good teams do after Round 27. Anyway all seems to be looking quite good there, memberships way up etc. so guess there isn’t really much more to say”

“Hey I heard they just released new jerseys, what do they look like?”

“Oh yeah let me just get them up… give me a sec, ah wallah”.


Dennis Burgess -


“That looks too much like that other club we merged with, SACK ALL THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS”

[PS this is satirical].

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

You know …I’ve heard this Easts Tigers thing for a while now …I guess people put two and two together with Richo’s previous involvement there … doesn’t exactly float my boat to be honest .,,

im not a fan either bit it is a way to get another Qld team in and get rid of this crap show and it retains the tiger emblem in the nrl

 

[tigahhh]

Zac, Joe and I just completed this emergency collab pod.

my fave creators thanks for ep Joel wish it was for a better subject. will give it a watch

 

[cochise]

Any initial thoughts on how to proceed ?

Plan is to try and get the nrl involved, we have put together a release to attack socials and are just trying to get as many groups as possible on board as signatories.

It says it all when they disable comments on their video response to the situation on Facebook

 

[innsaneink]

Doesn’t matter what I think. He’ll see out 26 at the very least. I wasn’t predicating his sacking on the back of Richo either. Who says he’s going anywhere?

Yup.

Why not try to discuss the topic...but then it REALLY wont matter what you think eh?
You'll be one of the mob

 

[TIGERS]

Denny Burgess is delusional. He’s making his move to restore the Magpies

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Good to hear, the whole world is kicking their arse hopefully, might make them find a brain and think for once.

Give it away HBG, nobody wants the likes of your feeble minds making shit decisions for our club any more.

 

[tig_prmz]

Lol I have a theory that HBG makes most of its money staying in the media.

It's fair if they wanna sack but the reasoning is quite poor.

PRepare for lots of negative articles, more clicks ,more media coverage, lots of PR.

They're in the business of staying relevant, not in the business of winning games. They aren't chasing excellence, they're just chasing quick bucks to make a profit and stay relevant in the media.

Hopefully my theory is wrong.

Lol

 

[Big Red]

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.

His hair is white, his heart is black. Some people are just built that way.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

No words can express how sad, deflated and enraged I am about this, and I doubt I'm not alone. And' I'm probably going to cop as ban for this or get heavily censored but IDGAF at this point. For the first time in over 10 years, there was true hope and positiivty around the club. On-field improvements, good signing, the club makes a profit for the first time in 10 years, stability (at a Wests Tigers board level at least) and best of all, a team that has the best chance of making of a serious top 8 push since 2012.

But no, the Magpies dinosaurs can't have that. So that crusty talentless old [This word has been automatically removed], Dennis Burgess, comes along and does what he does best and thats pretend to be a professional board member just like he pretended to be a compentent professional singer. Imagine any professional club or organisation destroying the greatest chance you've had for true success in over decade, OVER THE COLOUR OF A PIECE OF [This word has been automatically removed]ING CLOTHING!

Shane Richardson is the best thing that has happended to this club in a long time. He has worked his ass off to put the club in a position to succeed and he has done it amazingly. Especially compared to Dumb and Dumber before him. I would not blame him in the slightlest if he resigned first thing tomorrow. Not to mention the trickle down effect this is going to have on the playing group. We're in the middle of negotiations with a young star fullback and our marquee signing ahas get-out clauses. There's a very real possibility we will lose both after next season.

But back to that scheming sack of shit, Burgess, I swear on my grandmothers grave that when that talentless cancerous sack of shit takes his final descent to hell, I will do to his grave literally what he has been figuratively doing to this club and its supporters for his entire time here; I'm going to summon he largest foulest dump I can muster and plant it right on his [This word has been automatically removed]ing grave. I'll then go home, bake a cake and get drunk in further celebration.

As for the likes of @BZN and @coivtny, and any other Magpie/HBG apologist, just [This word has been automatically removed] off. [This word has been automatically removed] you, [This word has been automatically removed] Wests Ashfield, and [This word has been automatically removed] the HBG. There won't be a force in this universe that can wipe the smile from my face when I hear that the last of the Magpie/HBG dinsoaurs shuffles of this mortal coil. It'll be almost as good as when we won in 05.

Now go ahead and censor me, mods.

get east's tigers up and running with 3 games at Leichardt oval
let penrith and bulldogs and souths carve up the Macarthur region
Dennis can have the magpies in nsw cup

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

I watched the video release form the home page as well. Not much detail in what has been going on to warrant the independents being removed - but WTF - they have membership on the board so how can there not be communication. If there is a lack of information getting back to you from your own member I think it is time to look in the backyard.

The instability is back - and we are back to being run by the nepo debenture holders.

I'm sure some forum members will be over the moon; but FFS, we were finally heading in the right direction. How long before Richo is out the door and we have the equivalent of the clown show making decisions again.

OK Wests Ashfield insiders - what is the background, where is it heading and why?

Dont blame Luai having get out clauses now do we....

Dont blame Luai having get out clauses now do we....

Nope, not at all. Smarter than the average bear!

 

[hammertime]

HBG continues to break their own rules to save their own skin. The quickly developing Rozelle Village and Balmain Leagues Club site has to feel like a major threat for HBG, hence this new rumble and the rash decisions.

Our family went down to Ashfield for the Tigers v Warriors game in Round 21, and we won’t do it again. It was below average, the atmosphere was flat, the service was poor, and the food was subpar.

In the end, it’s about the complete experience, and you can only survive on the pokies for so long.

Pretty sure HBG own Balmain Leagues Club now...

What a businessman. We’ve been an absolute tyre fire for two decades yet we continue to fill stadiums. If they could actually run a football club imagine the success it could be.

 

[Jolls]

in my twenties. is there still time? up the phins 🐬

No, you have to stick with the rest of us and and the bring through (brainwash) the next generation. Despite this debacle we will eventually find our way out of the mire that we have been suffering.

 

[Big Red]

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

Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
