The team and coach was actually assembled by hbg
The only signing I believe was may midyear under the new board , or are you saying because who is the actual board members determines if players play shit ?

It's more than just signings rugba. It's culture amongst players.. the vibe amongst the fans... The perception from the rest of the NRL and media.

Any good decisions the HBG may have made have been completely undone x100...

are you saying a clown show front office doesn’t contribute to on field failure? because where have you been for the past 15 years.

More interested in how many players and managers we have lost or wouldnt have a bar of us before Benji and Richardson.
Got nothing to do with HBG and they just shat on the two best things about this club and no doubt have got all the players thinking here we go again.

I am not a big fan of looking for skeletons in the man's closet but if you consider that not long ago fellow debenture holder, board member and staunch Burgess ally Vince Tropiano was accused of harassment it doesn't paint a great picture of the standards these men hold themselves to. Disreputable at minimum.

The response to that issue from HBG was [This word has been automatically removed]ing disgusting. He gropes a woman and Burgess and the rest of the spineless dogs that were on the HBG board made him go to a training session.

David Gilbert was the one who brought the incident to the attention of the CEO, so I wouldn't tarnish his name alongside the others. Both the harassment claim against VT, and his support for the independent review into the NRL club were issues that put him on the outer with the most of the WA debenture holders. He gave up his debenture holder status after he was banned for 6 months in the wake of the 2024 purging of the WA board.

Tropiano, and Montgomery are tight allies of Burgess.

Sorry my bad. I do remember the reports of Gilbert reporting the incident, not being happy with the response, and getting rissoled because of it and his support of the independent review.

The walking contradiction...

Exhibit A

You've failed to answer how HBG didn't know about decisions the football club board was making when they had 2 members on the board...

But now you are using the 2 members on the board to support a position..


Um, because they want Wests magpies? As I've said before, blind Freddy can see this, LH came out and said he knows of directors at the HBG who knows this to be fact.. so why can't you acknowledge it?


Its irrelevant if we think it can happen or not.

The fact is, the HBG, or factions of it, have this vision .. therefore, they'd happily derail the Wests tigers short term success for what they think is the long term vision..

Again, we all know it won't happen, but we aren't talking about normal people, we are talking about the deluded HBG..

So we just let them continue on the deluded path and continue to fail as a club? Sure, great idea!!

For shits and giggles, let's do a comparison of Wests Tigers NRL team vs Roosters.

Wests Tigers
Bula - WT debut
Turuva - bought
May - bought
To'a - bought
Skelton - bought
Luai - bought
Doueihi - bought (but was a WT junior)
May - bought
Koroisau - bought
Pole - WT debut
KPP - bought
SamFainu - bought
Twal - WT debut
LFainu - bought (WT debut)
SiFainu - WT debut
Hunt - bought
Seyfarth - WT debut

Roosters
Tedesco - bought (WT junior)
Tupou - Syd debut
Smith - Syd debut
Toia - Syd debut
Marky - Syd debut (via rugby)
Walker - Syd debut
DCE - bought (approached Roosters for a contract so he could transition to coaching in their system)
Leniu - bought
Watson - Syd debut (and return from Newcastle)
Collins - Syd debut
Crichton - bought
Radley - Syd debut
Whyte - Syd debut
Iohelu - Syd debut
Wong - Syd Debut
Butchers - Syd debut
Steep - Syd debut

Thanks Wests Ashfield for your great work focus in setting up a pathways recruitment, development, and retention system which has led to the bulk of the team in 2025 consisting of bought players.

If you can’t plug it into a wall and bleed battlers dry it’s not their area.

I’d like to know what they’d be willing to let the club go for, $50 million?? Wrexham has been in a big story in England, maybe there’s others out there looking to do the same.
