Two wrongs don’t make a right.
All the information is now likely to be with PVL so nobody will get off the hook if they have had any unethical dealings or intentions , not HBG, not Richo, nobody.

The good clubs keep their unethical dealings in house.

Only played 44 games... fit in well, half baked, like the rest of them

Mick Liubinskas is everything you want in a "clubman"
Loyal and hardworking and loves his club....doesnt matter how.many games he played.

Funny thing everyones missing is its his son Todd theyre.talking about....and.i think its a gee up

Sure, weasel. Keep talking out of both sides of your mouth and embarrassing yourself. I imagine you’re quite used to it.

The whole NRL is unethical .!the storm got done … proper done , for apart cap rorting and lost 2 premierships , yet still celebrate them . Everyone knows about Uncle Nicks golf matches , or weird job titles for the partners of his star players ; Kimberly smith - manager of operating merchandise partnerships of businesses for commercial realties … lol 😂 Such bullshit …

The NRL's considerations imo would be far wider. Here are a couple -

Damage to the professionalism of the code noting this is not the first time board room issues have arisen recently
The best body/owner/club entrusted with the NRL's $12m investment in the south west growth area of Sydney.

The main benefit of Richo not communicating with HBG is the leaks stopped, well looky now.

The NRL Integrity Unit has opened an investigation into Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson following a tip-off from a whistle-blower about the club's finances under the embattled CEO.

Serious concerns over the conduct of Richardson and senior staff at the Tigers have been raised, following the removal of four independent directors including chairman Barry O'Farrell.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports Richardson's seven-figure termination pay-out is under threat, after an informant raised concerns about the amount of money being paid to a company Richardson part owns with his son, Brent, for marketing, branding and digital consultancy services.

The NRL Integrity Unit has also been made aware of information regarding the employment of up to two other members of Richardson's family at the Wests Tigers.

Richardson declined to comment to the publication and reportedly had previously informed the club's board about the conflict of interest.

The Tigers CEO has reportedly identified the whistle-blower as a former staff member, and used Wests Tigers funds to send off a legal letter to the ex staffer this week.

The NRL received the tip-off through the league's private whistle-blower hotline and is understood to be in possession of evidence relating to the probe.

The Wests Tigers formerly had a whistle-blower hotline through Core Integrity, however the club decided to end its arrangement when Richardson took over from previous CEO Justin Pascoe.

Before the probe was undertaken by the NRL Integrity Unit, Richardson's future was under the spotlight, with the club's owners, Holman Barnes Group, reportedly frustrated by the lack of communication from the club CEO.

Not naming any names, just the fact that untoward dealings were happening outside of the HBG as well as inside the HBG.
I’m not Sherlock Holmes, but it’s looking very much that way at the moment wouldn’t you say ?

I just find it interesting that you are counselling patience and an open mind re the HBG stuff, yet seem to have concluded that there is legitimate substance behind the Richo accusations. To each their own, however consistency is something to consider.

We need lessons from Storm, Parra, Canterbury, Cronulla etc.

That’s correct they don’t have 3 or 4 lunatics involved thinking Wests Magpies are coming back,
Not every person ever involved with HBG has wanted or believed Wests Magpies would be retuning to the NRL.
There is currently a rogue group who somehow think this can happened, blind Freddy can see this and we eagerly await PVL’s findings.
As for others going rogue as they probably don’t want to deal with them, it’s understandable, but still not right.

I’d suggest they have non-football people on a need to know basis. Our owners couldn’t hack that.

Hang on he’s done nothing wrong then . If he’s declared the conflict of interest , and they were still hired , then there’s no issue at all .
Kids of people get hired at my work all the time . Wives , brothers , Husbands etc. the person conflicted reveals the conflicting info , and the person still gets hired .
Thats simply what happens in business all the time . Is it ethical I dunno . Is it illegal , nope … they declared the conflict already .

That's exactly right surely no ones naive enough to believe all clubs are squeaky clean, the good clubs keep it quiet, HBG never has what does that tell you.

Richo is a rough diamond. The whole footy world knows that. I just hope both sides of this are fully exposed.

Time they stick to hospitality. It’s not the 1970’s anymore.

Very good player - sadly most remembered for the Liubinskas Affair circa Belmore Sports Ground 1975 ... but I won’t bore you with any of that 🥺

Ilegal replacement or something wasn't it - only played part of the lower grade game?

 

[BZN]

That is 💯 my opinion.
I do not care if HBG are removed, but I would like to think it’s done fairly, not just based on the actions of a couple of dodgy people who need to be removed.
If you agree I have no idea why you have been abusive in your comments directed my way ?
Anyway it doesn’t matter, you are a passionate Wests Tigers supporter who only wants the best to for the club and the team moving forward and that’s what I want also.
So we can agree to agree and leave it at that.

I have a bit of an understanding why he and lots of others are reacting abusively and aggressively towards you Vicious.
As another poster said just recently too you...if you are not with us, you're against us, and you're not toeing the line, you're not falling in behind the great leader of the pack, so it's war.
As I am sure you would have said already, 99% of people on here are suffering from grief, fear, and the pain of losing something they loved.
The fear of losing the last piece of their identity being the Tigers brand...seems to be possibly slipping away.
And I have to say, I am very disappointed that a certain health worker hasn't been on here to try and calm things down a bit.

They appear to be quite good at that side of business, but as for footy it doesn't suit their palette, in fact it's leaving a sour taste for all Tigers supporters.

The CEO was brought on to expand more into commercial property I believe. $50 million might buy them a few warehouses. Just saying.

 

[Squater]

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.

Me to Tuck part of the cog in motion to stir up the fans so they feel the heat.

I'm on the other side I can easily see him going especially after this mud slinging with a whistle-blower? Even Patons comments reflected a cold stance of oh well let me know by Monday.

HBG in my opinion want him gone.
