HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[liltiger]

Wonder if there will be counter protesters turn up on the 13th? If so, don’t take the bait.

Great point GNR

Something cooking, it was reported last week Richo had till Monday to make his decision cause HBG said he needed time. Now Richo says he will leave if pvl doesn't place them into administrators on Monday, conveniently the very same day he told HBG he would be ready with a decision. Looks to me Richo told HBG he needed time so he could get pvl, the commission and N.R.L hq involved to fix things once and for all. If pvl wasn't seriously considering it Richo would have already handed in his papers. Pvl must have used the past week to interview everyone involved. Iv no doubt Richo got Laundy in the media to say he wants to buy it, to demonstrate to pvl, the commission and the N.R.L they need to hold on to it too long. If Richo can pull this off and we end up free and privatised it's a much bigger coup than what he did to get Souths private.

I hope you’re right. The blokes had death threats at other clubs. He’s not a quitter and his opponent here, well I don’t rate them.

Love it. Hope it’s on the mark 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I heard pepper money are out and we have a new sponser for next year. Apparently they said we've massively increased their revenue already and feel like they should give back to us. 🤭View attachment 30719

DUDE NO

Please god may Denis and Richo have no involvement with the new sponsor.

Hi Suzie-Q....It's me BZN back after another relaxing 2-day suspension.
As one of the very few posters on here from the Wests Magpies side of the JV that haven't been chased away by the Balmain people, did you think I was going to start a riot for posting on here from a Magpies pov?

I'm just asking for a friend...do posters from the Wests Magpies get suspended more often than anyone else?

Anyway, I had better get back on topic.

As you know I have followed the mighty Magpies since 1963 and I'm now nearly 80 yoa.

Without doubt, what's happening currently are the darkest days since I started following footy.
But the next few days are going to be darker still.
Our JV hasn't worked and won't work while the Balmain side of the JV continue with the aggressiveness that's currently being displayed, and led by the chief head kicker and stirrer known on here as Cochise.

You know damn well this whole situation has absolutely nothing to do with Balmain. Zero. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. And is 1000% about Wests Magpies being an unprofessional toxic basket case run by lunatics

He's a very shrewd operator and if Pvl is as switched on as people say and Wayne Pearce really is his closest ally and confidant in the commission then I can't see how Pvl does anything other than what Richardson's asking for. Pvl would be aware of his track record. He would know Richardson knows his stuff, if he's saying we need away from HBG then iv no doubt Pvl is listening. Whether he has the stomach for a stoush with them iv no idea. Though HBG havnt really come across as the most competent group. I think if the articles right tomorrow Richardson is Ceo under an N.R.L admin, with all board members reinstated and the 2 HBG members replaced by N.R.L appointed board members until the Laundys consortium make the purchase and fully privatise the Wests Tigers.

Already posted this in another thread but repeating here:


HBG were pretty quick lining up Mestrov, the time line seems a touch suspicious.


Tue 4 Nov 2025, 09:40 AM

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Chief Executive Officer Tony Mestrov has today informed the Club of his resignation ahead of his next career announcement.

Board Chairman Scott Penn said Mestrov has agreed to stay in his current role until the end of the year as part of a transition process. By agreement, Mestrov’s last day will be December 19.

I am struggling here to understand why "Sea Eagles" and NRL management is viewed as good?

Look I expected Siebold to tank the Eagles. He hasn't yet, he may when DCE leaves. (I expect he will).

Easts, would take their manager in a heartbeat as long as they did not whinge every 10 seconds. .. Is Mestrov good? Struggling to understand any logic to this.

Hey mate. Free speech and all but just for the record, Suzie doesn’t need us to stand up for her. She’s a big girl.

This post is to highlight to you because it seems as though you don’t get the picture. This cause is a stand against a very tiny few minority which includes yourself.

If hope it's not true. If it is, then he needs to go.

I don't believe it's true i think it's a smear campaign he declared before any payments his involvement and his sons company

But like anything in life it's not what it is But what it looks like

It looks like a dude with a conflict announced the conflict . If it doesnt look like that to anyone they’ve obviously don’t understand the process of excusing yourself from conflicts of interest .

Funny. In the last three days I’ve read from one charming individual how the mods are pro-Magpie and Magpie propaganda is ignored. Then the other extreme with someone else claiming the Magpies are marginalised. Funny how all extremists use the same playbook.

I don't know I want a fully Privatized Wests Tigers...

Cashed up owners make some sense.

But the Nathan Tinkler knights was a trainwreck.


Returning to member control is probably too steep an ask. WT members are there, but were not made of money.

I hope Richo and all those concerned can give us a structure that respects fans while making our club, stable.

It’s why politics is giant mess more so than anytime I’ve been alive . The internet has allows the crazies a voice , and turns out the crazies will do anything to have thier voice heard. Anything !

2017-Loose the Big 4 sign quality players like McQueen/Packer/mats/Reynolds/Mbye
2018-The coach that blew the team up jumps ship, great thanks Ivan!
2022-Madge knifed
2023-Sheens knifed
2025-Richo knifed?

A lot of crap in recent years (under HBG). So sorry if I and many others feel like giving the team up. Personally I enjoy watching the game more when it’s not our team as we usually play a pathetic example of football anyhow. As a Brisbane boy I’ve always had a soft spot for the broncos and ofc our once Mr Fixer Madge. Wests Tigers are that crazy ex that you really just need to leave.

“This is all a lie bc I’ll continue to follow the club as I’m probably just as stupid as our owners”.

I found it sad the other day when I read the last 5 premiership winning coaches EX Tiger coaches

Richo is the best thing to happen to the Tigers in the last 15 years

It is a conflict of interest... But it is also a whacking stick.

A lesson in life, never let the most corrupt lecture you on the corruption of the least. We weed out corruption from the worst to the best!

Get rid of the debenture system and we can
all become wests ashfield members…win win

BZN, sorry to be the one to enlighten you mate, but you’re suffering from a deeply ingrained paranoia. There are no Balmain fans that I’ve noticed on here during the last 5 years.
Doesn’t the magpies have a social media platform?

Infiltrating the forum now Dennis?
