HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

Crazy how you said you don't care who they supported prior to the merger, yet proceed to make a point about who they supported prior to the merger. You've lost any semblance of credibility you might have had.

As I said earlier - I was responding to a poster who did exactly the same thing to @BZN

Context, context, context, old boy 🤔

Nothing stopping you and your mates from starting up a Wests Tigers podcast, might be time you had a crack instead of having a sook about being underrepresented. We’d all love to hear your views on Wests Tigers.

Not sooking- simply used the podcasts as an example to answer a previous post.

I’ve no desire to start a podcast

Who on hear wants the Wests Tigers to be one club in all grades , and the juniors of Balmain and Wests strive to get to the top into Wests Tigers , All Wests Tigers in NRL and Reserve grade , Flegg ,then the juniors of each original club start , make sense doesn’t it,

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

This all started because 4 independent directors got booted by HBG and now looks like Richo will move on too.

When someone said its not a Wests v Balmain thing you said "tell that to the media".

I'll pose the question again...what does any of this have to do with Balmain v Wests?

What, so you’re trying to tell me the media doesn’t flame the Western Suburbs vs Balmain thing at every opportunity 🤔

Don’t tell me the media is wrong about something … I dont believe it .. fortunately you and I know what really happened

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.

YES YES YES 🙏

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

lets hope for some good news today 🙏

2-0 up in the Ashes mate,
doesn’t get better than that (in the offseason) 👍

I wonder if we’re in a position to hand in our membership subscriptions and get a full refund.
That would be a powerful reminder that us members don’t stand for this (hit them how it hurts)could be a bigger protest than the proposed March.
Just wondering.??

It’s definitely worth a try. For 2 years now I have refused to allow any of my money to flow toward the club, a boycott of sorts. I’ve been to only one game and that was an away game.

 

[426Tlgerland]

YES YES YES 🙏

Laundys consortium, did i miss something as that sounds like a buy out by the dogs sponsor

 

[TigerNeddyK]

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 smear campaign orchestrated by OnLy Fans Denny in order to undermine and sideline Richo be cause he was succeeding in rebuilding the wests Tigers and the HBG saw the destruction and chaos at manly for the last 2 years and thought thats what we need , Mestrov, a CDEO that gave notice on November 4 before he was sacked and even then he said he a new career announcement pending…. I’d love to see the correspondence between mestrov and buirgesss prior to November because Stevie Wonder could see that this coup, this wanton sabotage of Wests Tigers was brewing before this BS dismissal of the independent board without just cause in the reptile brain of Bangkok Burgess for a fair stretch of time …my guess is KPIs actually being met and team improving on the field was the final straw for the traitorous geriatric sleaze bags

Very nice scenario that you paint there but my only concern there is that there is too much talk about Balmain with old Arthur, however I would hope that overall such a consortium would be wholly focused on Wests Tigers and just be respectful of the past.

I would expect that a successful entrepreneur like Arthur and those involved in such a consortium would be mostly concerned with the financial and on field success of such a venture and not involve themselves in the type of bickering and power plays that we have seen for over a quarter of a century.

Hard to believe that anything could possibly be as disfunctional as what we currently have in place.

Like everyone has said, it’s not Wests vs Balmain. It’s Wests Tigers vs those gutless incompetent dogs at HBG that are ruining the club so why don’t you [This word has been automatically removed] off down to Wests Ashfield and drink with your spineless mates because it’s clear you’re not a Wests Tigers fan.

@BZN can speak for himself, but I interpret his gripe as being one of degrees. It’s more nuanced than anyone on here seems to give it credit.

He, like all of us on the Forum, follow the Wests Ts.
And quite frankly, whether you disagree or agree, at almost 80 years of age he deserves a tad more respect. There’s no need for abuse and ridicule.

While Balmain is today as irrelevant as a Betamax videocassette, “the Tigers” has become an all encompassing battle cry. Having read BZN’s posts I sense he smells a rat with regard those organising the uprising/rally etc.

People may disagree with that - but geez, keep it civil 🥴

 

[twentyforty]

Honestly @BZN , no one looks at the other 10%. Its irrelevant. We have 1 owner. HBG. They carry balmain and wests legends in their title.

No one cares about the magpies or balmain, except for a few people who have a hard time dealing with change... i mean, 25 years should do it but apparently not!!

We have 1 team in the NRL. The wests tigers. This is an incompetent mgmt and governance issue, not a magpie/balmain issue.

It’s a waste of time Hammer. These Magpie people have been in a bad mood since 1963. When legendary Jack Gibson walked into the shed and told the team..”if anyone has backed us to win today call your booky and lay it off. My booky just told me that Lawler has backed the Dragons.”
Dragons won the penalty count 18/7 as well as getting some dubious calls against the Magpies.

Talking in circles again being deliberately evasive. Let's be honest. The only people on here that mention the Magpies in relation to the current club is you and BZN. You're not fooling anyone.

If he or you don't want to be ridiculed, perhaps refrain from posting things that are ridiculous.

So what rat is that mate. I have asked @BZN many times, what he would like to see for better representation of the Magpies and he refuses to answer.

Ill ask you now, what is the rat you and he smell? If you are going to question our actions, at least be man enough to say what you think we are doing instead of hiding behind implied comments.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Fair enough, I apologise.

You must concede however, that for the vast bulk of both podcasts existence - it’s true to say they were both created by, and have been very top heavy with former Balmain fans 🤷‍♂️

Jesus mate,, do you just not get it???? We do not give a flying **** about magpie or Balmain BS.. everyone is furious because after a review was conducted as too why the wests tigers were 15 years without making the 8 in a 16 team competition… mathematically equivalent to not winning a coin toss in 15 tries,, almost impossible mathematically without being caused by woeful incompetence ( deliberate sabotage in my view), recommendations were made and a chief executive was hired that signed on subject to the independent football board being installed … and now that the CEO has started to achieve successful results in the view of many WESTS TIGERS supporters the clowns that ran the show for the 15 terrible , ridiculous years have deliberately reneged on all the agreements and dismissed the board and then tried to smear and defame the ceo in order to further undermine him and his reputation in order to justify their disgusting, deceitful and duplicitous actions…WESTS TIGERS supporters feel betrayed by this, fans that want the JOINT VENTURE to succeed can see its obvious that their team is being nobbled and they are all SICK of it….the success and the future of the WESTS TIGERS is what most on here are all focussed on and passionate about…

Holman Barnes just blew up a functioning board and will now let our best CEO ever walk off into the sunset.

What on earth does that have to do with the measly 10% ownership of Balmain or some Balmain agenda? What are you hippies smoking? Your brain's fried mate.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

So apparently the rally is taking place at the home of the Magpies so Wests can “give us back our club”. Also hoping Siro and Benny turn up
