HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[BAGNF05]

People need to chill out on here. Go to the servo, eat a Gaytime and have a spell before typing.

Maybe you should of been there to counsel Paton before he did that video 😂

I’m sure HBG have got it all worked out …including Richo’s replacement, even if he leaves now .. they wouldn’t have made these moves otherwise

HBG would want the 4 independent directors and Richo gone. Agree, they would have Richo’s replacement lined up. A Puppet.

How's the answer to this question from the CEO of HBG. I have no words. What a complete imbecile

AP: A protest march has been arranged. Are you concerned about disgruntled Wests Tigers fans making their presence felt and making their voices heard?

DP: “I think there’s a bit of miscommunication out there in the media at the moment, particularly in relation to the colours of a jersey, which has never come up. So I just question what that rally is about.”

Is he for real???!

HBG just show zero care about the Wests Tigers Faithful. They only care about themselves.

Sadly I think he is.
Quoted that the sacking of 4 independents would not effect Richardson or Benji .... where do they find these people?

I think everyone thinks the boss is the boss, but everyone has a boss. CEO’s have boards, CFOs have CEOs. Sometimes they are just delivering the message.

They just need to go. I’ve had enough. Feel for the actual club, but I’m contemplating not watching if it turns into a circus of players leaving etc

The most egregious thing he said was that Benji was a great coach.
The bloke is deluded.

Definitely a numbers game - just like Burgess isn't acting alone.

Would someone drive a wooden stake through his heart and put him out of his misery.

Not a Dracula type, one of those new wave day walkers, harder to get rid of bloody Nora give me strength.

 

[Suzie-Q]

What does this even mean?

I reckon it means they'll be sticking their beak into footy matters, and screwing it up as well

Guys keep emailing the NRL, they are hearing you.

The rally is crucial, if you can attend please get to this event.

I don’t think losing one half of our team is the answer. We must continue to respect and honour our past but seriously have to push pass the division and ego.

Maybe HBG have to go but I don’t think having a pro Balmain (Remove the pies) approach is the answer either. We are and always will be Wests Tigers. Two battlers that joined together in order to survive. I wonder how Tommy Would feel.

That sounds like the classic symptoms of penis fingers unfortunately, you know what to expect of everything they touch.

What Paton’s quotes highlight to me is somebody is outright lying and the NRL needs to find out.

PATON in SMH:

“Now, there’s an agreement between Wests Tigers and Holman Barnes Group where certain decisions that are made need to come back to the owner for approval. That simply hasn’t been happening.

“And I can give an example of that – the stadium policy around Leichhardt Oval. So the announcement was that Leichhardt Oval would be the home of Wests Tigers for the next 15 years. The Holman Barnes Group board only found out about that with 16,000 other fans at Leichhardt Oval. Which is really bad for business, and it’s quite embarrassing really ...

JOINT STATEMENT from independent directors:

“We have at all times complied with our fiduciary duties in our roles as directors.

We reject any suggestion of a lack of communication with Holman Barnes Group. Holman Barnes Group is represented on the board of the Wests Tigers and its representative has been present at all Wests Tigers board meetings and provided with all board information. No concerns have been raised by the representative of Holman Barnes Group at any Wests Tigers board meeting in relation to governance, communication or consultation.”

…

The minutes from board meetings & written correspondence between board members should reveal all. The NRL need to obtain & forensically review these.

If minutes weren’t taken in Board meetings (which I highly doubt) then the entire Board, HBG reps & Richo may be in strife.

The guy died 15yrs ago. No one has told him yet

Hey, that's almost the line I've been using about Keith Richards for the past 20 years.

The two look the same only difference is hair colour. Kids don't do drugs you'll end up like this muppet

Why would the NRL bother going to such lengths?
They have more on their plate to deal with than this constant drama.

To cancel a membership you have to send the email to the department at the club that deals with memberships.
Just be respectful/professional, their going to be swamped in emails it's unfortunate and not ideal.
Just remember it's HBG that have put them and the other hard working staff in this position not the fans.

Yeah...it's almost like I missed something right? Like I hadn't connected the dots?

Then, when you think about it a little further, and pay a little more attention, you realise that people have already posted their responses from the club and the club are responding that they are not refundable. Nobody is getting their money back.

People are trying to make a point...it's not about the money. The point should be directed to HBG and the NRL. It's wasted on the membership department even if you did get your money back.

Something like...

Hi..just letting you know that because of the last 15 years of absolutely shocking stewardship and this most recent embarrassment, I will be cancelling my membership and not renewing until I see a change of club ownership. It kills me to punish my club to affect change and for that I am even more resentful at HBG ownership. HBG out!

Let a further personal rant ensue if you must...Cc membership too if you need to check that box for yourself knowing that you won't get your refund.

Our fans got an independent review off the ground at HBG (fat lot of good I know), if enough people get behind this I think PVL will act. He’s a working class operator like Richo.
