PVL has had a 180 in 24 hours … what happened ?

Looks to me like Richo threatening to walk along with Benji and the marquee players has really got Vlandys notice.. Wayne Pearce also being an ally of his might actually help richo pull this out of the fire

 

[loyal wests tiger]

Benji and richo have stated that they want 100% commitment to Wests Tigers
Its a pity it doesn't seem to apply the HBG

 

[Leck]

To say what exactly?

Say hello.

 

[Leck]

I hope people arent stupid enough to give him grief or abuse

Hes got nothing to do with any of this

Feel free to say hello.

I would have thought he had spoken to Richo earlier in the week … perhaps he has met with Benji and a couple of the senior players and he sees that things are getting off rails worse then he imagined …

I couldn’t fully support another team, but could still watch and enjoy games.

Just like recent finals, who I would rather win each week depends on the team I hate least

Yep but when you are wrong it doesn’t really affect you does it?
..and you are right, we’ve all sat through 14 years of finals series without a team to support and many still get into it.

I’d just become a full time SuperCoach player. It’s a good enough distraction when we are losing anyway,

The next 24 hours is it! Our future depends on PVL & the Commission that includes Wayne Pearce.

Richardson is expected to resign on Monday afternoon after addressing his staff, many of whom he had enticed to the club, although V’landys’s intervention at the 11th hour could change his mind.

“We are going to talk to both the independent directors and Holman Barnes,” V’landys said.

“We are certainly not happy with the instability this has caused.”

Don’t get excited yet. He still can go against it.

 

[TYGA]

PVL won’t have any power here at the end of the day. The club doesn’t have to be independent, it is financially viable and HBG can guarantee its finances. PVL can see what happens if Richo goes club is a big draw card and it needs Richo at the helm.

I’d like to see a forced sale like they do in NFL and NBA. Wests MacArthur would be the obvious choice if they are interested. Would be identical scenario to Knights after Tinkler.

Just back from my short cruise today , left Thursday so no info since , what the hell has gone on since Thursday , my take
PVL says no Balmain No Wests will return to the NRL ,and if people think they will they are in for a shock.?
NRL launch investigation into Richo , some dirty board manger or other trying to back door him or has this got merit ,?
Richo could walk tomorrow .?
Ex Manly CEO and dud in the mix for our Richo position , was this guy any good at all , I only remember negative shit .?
Bulla on dogs radar 4 year deal , is this real , if so I think he goes .
Luai on shaky ground as well ?
Any other ear news , did people March today or is it next week, sorry for all the questions it just saves me reading heaps and falling asleep to much

I was just talking with my mum who is a lifelong Tigers fan, and became a Wests Tigers fan when the merger happened. In fact it actually merged my household, with me being a 15 year old Magpies fan at the time, though admittedly not the whole 15 years as I did very briefly support the Knights as I was 4 and my family lived up towards Newcastle when they came into the league. So I supported them as much as you can as a 4 year old, though never went to a game. Then when we moved to Campbelltown I switched my support the Magpies. But when the merger happened we both switched to the Wests Tigers along with my dad who didn't really support anyone so just went with it and supported the Wests Tigers as well.

But back to the main point of this, when we were talking she stated that she is so sick of all of this, having read all the stories she sees online, and the two of us discussing all of it, that she is ready to be done with all of it and is ready to walk away from supporting the club altogether.

Literally a woman who has supported Balmain from the time she was growing up in a household where her father was a massive Souths supporter, and all her siblings followed someone different (Manly, Dragons, Dogs, Roosters, Penrith), so she chose to support them over being born into it, and then the Wests Tigers when the merger happened. She has no old ties to Balmain any more, she is 100% Wests Tigers, but for as long as she remembers (upwards of 70+ years) she has supported a team with the nickname Tigers and has been a gold member of the Wests Tigers for 17 years with me.

That is so telling, and I know through all of this she is not the only one.

Whether she goes to the rally is unsure, weather will be one thing that makes up her mind over anything, but even if she doesn't go, I am now almost certainly going, and though will not be wearing the new orange jersey (might be a christmas present so don't have it yet) I will 100% be rocking an orange WT jersey (maybe the original 2000 jersey), and have come to the decision that if Richo goes, and that leads to Luai using his get out clause to leave, I am completely done with this club unless or until HBG sells and gives the club an actual chance of success and being run properly, and I am certain that my mum will be as well.

This latest stuff (and stuff isn't the word I want to use there) is literally killing our club, and it hurts like hell thinking that my mum and I as well as so many others may have to just walk away from it.

Feel free to say hello.

I wasnt referring to you but you seem very defensive all of a sudden

Why?

I don’t know, mate. This is another very weird Wests Tigers situation. As a club, we’ve gone through so much upheaval over the years. We were starting to move forward on a positive trajectory, and now this rubbish.

I don’t understand it, and I doubt many other supporters do either.
