HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[innsaneink]

But this has me worried

The NRL has assured Wests Tigers fans neither Balmain or Western Suburbs will ever be excluded from the joint venture

You are not the only one.

Does it mean ownership can't be changed, name stays the same and pathways still in place, if they don't get the shits, they can still contribute dollars.

They were never going to do anything , as I said previously HBG would have to do major illegal or dodgy shit or the club is basically going bankrupt

incompetence and being a bunch of clowns is not cause

V'Landys doesn't give a monkeys. He's shown on multiple occasions that provided the clubs aren't complaining, the broadcast money keeps rolling and the inner circle of cronies have their snouts in the trough he's not exactly pushing a reform agenda. If mugs like us are prepared to keep throwing money at a substandard product, more fool us so far as he's concerned. Someone has to play the Knights in the Saturday mid-afternoon slot.

The only things that will change this situation are if HBG runs out of money, which isn't going to happen until NSW has decent gambling laws (and if there's a better alternative expression for "until pigs fly" I'm yet to hear it) or someone comes in with an offer HBG can't refuse. Unfortunately, incompetence isn't illegal and the powers that be don't care about the average football club member, so we're stuck with the clowns running the joint.

Sounds like someone from there, or more specifically Western Suburbs but would likely still be a HBG person as they will claim both connections, may always have to be involved, which would mean that we may not be fully able to get rid of them.

It's taken me that long to almost catch up in here 🙃

 

[innsaneink]

Why?

I got the impression he was skirting the real issues....which is why I said I think theyd prefer this all goes away (in the NRLs eyes) and they dont have to deal with it

If they are reduced to a tiny voice that would be a great result, no chance of being the mouse that roared.

I took that as responding to the rumours of Wests trying to remove Balmain from the JV

That’s why he gets the big biccis. You can take it how you like and he hasn’t given anything away.

Yeah but a tiny voice can still cause massive disruption.

That is why the rally is so important.

 

[Lestronge]

So are you prepared to accept an outcome handed down by the NRL of not ?
It’s not a trick question, it’s a simple yes or no question.
I can assure you there will be many that think they no better no matter what verdict is handed down by the NRL.

We just got it ! The nrl wants wests tigers to stay as it is. There will never ever be a the magpies . So deal with it …

 

[TigerNeddyK]

It was leaked via some bloke on Instagram

Apparently Burgess or (BIG D DAWG) as he demands the boys on the HBG board call him has made plans already, he has approached John Hopoate as a fitness and mental health coach and someone named silvagni to work as Burgess personal assistant to keep up with and curate his social Media presence.. also Thai airline frequent flyer points can also be converted to sponsorship $$.. this is all coming from an impeccable source that says a lot of people are saying it..

 

[weststigers]

The NRL owns the ip

Troubling that V'Landys us focused on ownership being Balmain and Wests. Happy for both to go in favour of new owners.

 

[weststigers]

Why?

Because that's exactly what we want. Get rid of both.

If the NRL say they don’t have jurisdiction to intervene you then have the right to be very unhappy and take whatever action you feel is appropriate.
So our appalling record over the past 15 years is solely the blame of HBG, but our improved results last year that everyone keeps mentioning had nothing to do with them ? They are at fault for bad results, but play no part of improved or good results ?

Just shut up man … you repeat yourself over and over . No one agrees with you.
Either sing a different tune or go away for a few days. It’s relentless.

They finally took external advice, albeit after a fan mutiny, and things changed quickly...

The good management has never come from within.

Somber days, hard to read every post from the sheer volume so apologise if this has been answered.

What exactly is it that a club licences from the NRL? Is it the team name? Or is it basically a position in the competition and the club owns any IP in the team name? Something else?

The license is the participation in the nrl . It s a license to participate . Like your drivers license . You don’t own it … you pay the gov a fee to renew it . If you are deemed to not be suitable to drive anymore eg you’re a dead shit or a hoon , your eyes go , you lose your marbles , you won’t pay your fines etcz the take their license back .
The same applies to the nrl license. They give the license to pre approved applicants to participate in the nrl competition.
