Breaking news: HBG takeover

[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.

This guy can't be serious. I wonder how many takes it took him before he got one without laughing. These people are so out of touch.

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

I'm not fussed on the tangerine Jersey..
.but I wasn't fussed on the design

Is there a way for HBG to be removed from the club?

The owners? Doubt they’ll remove themselves….

 

[Telltails]

They sacked the independents on the board on the back of board decisions - if that doesn't put the sword through an independent board I don't know what does.
And where does that leave Richo?

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

In the NBA they’ve forced owners to sell . It’s very similar in that there’s no real machination to force an owner to sell . Other than , much like the nrl , when the owners attend thier meetings they stronghold the particular owner into selling . As to how they do it I dunno . Probably photos of the owner doing lines with a stripper in a hotel room whilst thier wife is struggling with cancer or something …. But yea , my point is there is a way.
If this club ever became the magpies , and the license went to East’s , then I for one would be following a Brisbane club .

Why can't Denny be sacked. He sits on the board!! if the communication is 'poor' he's the Chairman of HBG and sits on the god damnnmed WT board. HBG have sacked independent directors that they appointed a year ago.

Yep, spot on. That's the obvious disconnect in the CEO's statement. WT Board guilty of poor communication yet Burgess is the common thread between the WT Board and the HBG Board. That's clearly BS.

Why would the jersey be an issue? Does the board not have input? If they don’t rubber stamp jersey designs, who does?

NRL 'own' and control the club branding/trademarks IIRC?

Absolute shit show.

Justify THIS dumb [This word has been automatically removed]!! @BZN

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

If this sees Richo leave then the NRL must get involved and ensure a major change occurs at an ownership level or the license is revoked.

HBG yet again have shown their cards, they are totally incompetent - something doesn’t go their way and they punt people - so much for independence & integrity.

Such coward’s closing down comments to their announcement whilst also mentioning Unity & Stability - they clearly don’t even know what the words mean.

A professionally run organisation

Does not look like this

Us fans will never have peace will we…. the NRL needs to step in & claim back ownership it’s all we’ve got

Get the the Wests out of the Tigers would be the start!

Does anyone know if i can get my 2026 membership refunded?

I'm more than happy to help you any fair minded member seek a refund!

I think they just own the license . The actual IP is owned by the clubs . Which is why the Perth bears is basically the bears old logo . It’s thier IP. Not the nrls

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.

Do you really think anyone else gives a damn bar us?
I think the Rugby League world has surely reached saturation with Wests Tigers fatigue by now.
Drama after drama after scandal after spoon after drama….it never stops.
