CEO - Shane Richardson

[Carefactor]

we need to organise something during every tigers home game from fans whether that be we all turn out back to the game at a certain time, at the 26 minute mark for 26 years of wests tigers or something ?

Leave a blow doll in your seat and walk out.

Also by saying “I wasn’t up to the job” and “I did my best” is hinting to PVL that there are issues beyond what one of the greatest club administrators in himself can even control.

 

[Wezt]

Heard we’ve hired this guy to replace richo

Nico Harrison - Performance Institute

leadersinsport.com

This is exactly what we need

 

[Tucker]

Yeah this season has started real strong 🙄

I meant footy.
*** all this other noise.

 

[krissy]

Leave a blow doll in your seat and walk out.

That would just attract Dennis

 

[Carefactor]

Genuinely can we get refunds on memberships?

You should certainly request it and tell them why , nothing to lose.

 

[Carefactor]

If Laundy goes through with an investment we won’t be anyone’s feeder team. He only sponsors the Mutts so he gets a return through advertising an networking. If he becomes a major owner of us he will throw everything into that basket because businessmen don’t like to lose on their investment.

Its my understanding he was a Tigers supporter.

It’s not just class either, it’s strategic brilliance. The way he reiterated that every decision was unanimous and minuted, noting the two HBG reps on the board, the praise he gave the staff, and Benji, the reminder to V’landys on his commitment about protecting the Wests Tigers fans, even the way he emphasised it’s the Wests Tigers.

It’s up there with the Mark Antony speech to the plebeians in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. And now HBG wants to replace him with Mestrov 😂.

This club never deserved Richo but as a Wests Tigers fan I’m incredibly grateful he was our CEO.

Also has anyone noticed the media hasn’t interviewed the players or Benji on it yet? They seem to be giving the playing group and Benji some respite and putting pressure squarely on HBG.

HBG didn’t like Richo doing the presser from the updated SMH article, bunch of ....:

HBG was not thrilled that Richardson, with 32 years in the business, called his own press conference after the four independent directors he championed, including chairman Barry O’Farrell, were removed last week.

 

[Carefactor]

Laundy and co would be a very different kettle of fish who would do his due diligence very thoroughly, so if he did get
Involved it would signed, sealed and delivered before he finally committed to anything.
And I’m not sure HBG and their debentures would excite him all that much.
Maybe a buyout would be his tack.

The issue is , the club would make money on the sale but the debenture gimps wouldn't make a cent and would lose the only thing they have which is power . So no way they ever vote to let that happen.

We know how HBG get thrills

I'm pretty sure there are people in the leagues club that want to see these fools out too.

So HBG as an organisation isn't necessarily the issue, it's the immovable objects that maintain power.

If by some miracle they are forced to kill off the debenture system, then I'm confident they'll be swiftly voted out in favour of people with some sanity.

Yes he , has always been a Hugh tigers fan , but somehow, we stuffed up getting him on board .
I doubt he would buy the wests tigers now that he is in bed with the dogs , again another stuff by the club .
Just don’t under stand why MERTION don’t buy the club , its lose change for him , think this is the final nail in our clubs woes , new franchises due 2030 , and we will get punted

 

[69tiger]

Can’t believe im saying this after 56 years, but I’m one foot out the door( not even bitter anymore, just numb)….

Me too, I was looking forward to 2026 being a good year, absolutely gutted, this is so unfair for the supporters.

YES big mistake

 

[magpies forever]

Damn sad day. Mind you as WT supporters we've had a few.

 

[tigertuff]

It still beggars belief that a so called professional billion dollar organisation (ie NRL) has a useless dysfunctional group running one of their franchises. Surely they have to step in and give the Tigers every chance of success with competent people like Richo running the joint. Over to you PVL and Abdo.

not like this we havent

 

[weststigers]

I just watched the Richo presser again.

That one hurt, but he's the King 🤴

I'm sure the whistleblower would know exactly what he/she was doing and would know the consequence of making a false allegation.

There are no consequences under law for whistleblowers if their allegations are unfounded. Ostracised by their industry, maybe.
