HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[hammertime]

LIcensing and Gaming have already investigated HBG when Wade and Co got punted and found no cause to pursue the matter. Presently the only thing LG have said is that they are monitoring the situation. In other words they don't give a toss at this stage.

Julie and WT dismissals happened after that.Repeated destsbilisation is the issue, as well as this is the most clear to be not in the interests of members.

Why do you think HBG are sabotaging the club?
Quite honestly there are so many rumours flying around...and that's all they are, rumours...and so many people getting hot under the collar.
I'm just worried with all this bolarkey that's going on and upsetting people, how many Balmain people have had heart attacks.
I think we all need to take a deep breath and settle down until the proof of what has happened comes out.

Oh dont worry …. I’m even more settled down than you are …

They are sabotaging the club by removing the board that has just overseen their first profit in years, never mind also that they won some football games and got them off the bottom of the table …this is the fundamental aim of a professional sporting team you know? Winning games! …. It’s not about fighting amongst yourselves and sacking people which is all that your boys seem to do,,

Makes no sense… if there is any “proof” then release it ..now…the only things being reported in the media otherwise contradict HBG claims

Sorry this is not a pro Balmain approach. It is a pro Wests Tigers approach. HBG has to go

If a guy like Laundy becomes the owner yes it will very much be a pro Balmain approach. I Despise HBG for what they’ve done but let’s not get it twisted. Removing one side out of the merger not matter which way is not the answer.

I don’t disagree… the NRL needs to stipulate that any change of name and branding is not permitted…is that a deal breaker for Laundy ? I can’t say I truly know …but I suspect not..

hey!!! wash your mouth out with soap Tito Marshall.
I'm not going anywhere till I'm at least 90.
My father got to 97 and my mother 99.
I have longevity in my family you cheeky young person.

I’m only talking about the old people that are problematic.

You’re obviously old, but not problematic.

Well done to your parents BTW. So close to the tonne!

I don’t understand how anyone outraged by HBG and their supposed motivations to bring the Magpies back could be in favour of selling to Laundy after he blatantly laid out his motivations on what direction he’d take the club in.

Well ..the only thing I could suggest is that it might be the lesser of two evils… the club is going to be ran into the ground under the current owners dysfunction

I was interested in Laundy's view as a successful businessman on the WTs.

I could imagine having his hotel business linked to the WTs' brand would be hugely beneficial to him especially on the SW growth area.

YEP - but the mods here let the pro-Magpies trolls run rampant because they were blind to reality!

Thanks for your support! You have exactly NO idea of what @Demps @Spartan117 @Lauren and I do to keep this place anywhere near acceptable. I've said it before, if adults could act with some respect and civility, we wouldn't have to spend hours on here deleting posts, editing foul language, sending warnings, and copping delightful inbox messages!

He is a successful businessman… I think money issues for the club would cease to exist …

Having said that ..I don’t care who owns the team… just give me someone that can oversee some success …. How many more years of failure do we need to see from the current lot ?

Hopefully the NRL putting $12m into the club will chose to move in a different direction than HBG.

The amount of abuse you hurl out, I’d think you’d be on your hands and knees in gratitude that they haven’t banned you for good. You get a shit ton of leeway my friend,

I've just had a trawl through old Denny's Instagram and it checks out. He follows a tonne of women that would be half (if not younger) his age. Many of which have links to only fans pages on their profile.

Some of the videos he has reposted are quite lewd. One contains a woman putting a bottle deep into her mouth in a suggestive manner. And another openly references sexual acts.

Is this how we get him? Write to the Holman Barnes Group and the club and demand someone who has such an online presence as old deviot Denny be removed from all positions of responsibility immediately.

HBG has created the division - we were forewarned.
If it came down to survival and "success" out of Laundy and HBG - one has runs on the board.

Done and done

Me too.

Blatantly laid out his motivations ? Where? What are they? Is he specific in anything he says?

The only comment I saw was he had a fondness for Balmain.. if there's more out there id like to know . But if all this outrage is based on that one comment then it's completely unfounded speculation. You can be nostalgic about Balmain whilst bekng able to serve the best interest of the Wests tigers.. he's a billion dollar businessman for christ sakes .

No one's concerned about the Canterbury connection but they worried about Balmain? Lol come on

We need to complain to the NRL so they are aware of our distaste.

Prompt:

Draft a formal request to the NRL asking them to review the Holman Barnes Group’s licence following their removal of the newly appointed independent Wests Tigers board. Emphasise that the decision appears self interested, conflicts with good governance standards, and does not reflect the best interests of the Wests Tigers, the NRL, its fans, or the long term stability of the club. The tone should be firm, factual, and centred on governance integrity and stakeholder impact.

Purely hypothetical question, Steve. Would you be happy if Laundy bought HBG out and restored Balmain Tigers to primacy and relegated the Magpies to also rans or even non-events?
As I said purely hypothetical and not looking to start WW3.

The NRL have stated the license is for Wests Tigers over many years. If Laundy were to buy the incompetent ones out, then it would be reasonably safe to assume the name would not change.

At this stage, I would just be happy to be rid of the merd that have stopped us as a club being successful for many years. If they hadn't been deliberately sabotaging the club we may have had more success and the factional bullshit of Wests vs Balmain would have more than likely disappeared into the sunset where it should be.
