HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[The Chad]

The end result is not the argument you were making beforehand though …you tried to argue HBG’s actions to dismiss the board were justified when even Stevie Wonder could see otherwise…

If they were trying to play out some Machiavellian outcome to get rid of Richo and get a majority on the board …whilst returning the independent members .,,that’s not what you were saying before… and are these the people you want to support running this club ?

Not really. If that is the way it was understood so be it.

I simply (or maybe not simply in hindsight) put out alternative viewpoints to the rage & bile that exploded on here.

Nobody was questioning the why of it.

Hardly anyone is now.

What did we miss?

 

[The Chad]

Ill also say the hbg ceo has been offered an interview on the podcast.

Was there a response?

Why are 'thousands of fans' marching/rallying/wearing toga's on Saturday?

Wests Tigers plays an important part of my life. Sadly. And watching things like this happen bother me.

Unlike some, instead of throwing things- I want to know why.

And trusting the words of former board members, outgoing CEO's & reporters doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

So I bury deep & try to understand it.

If you want to throw rocks- throw them.

People address things that matter in different ways.

The Chad, where do you think the club would be if everyone simply sat back, calmly questioned why things have unfolded and then went on with their lives? If you were happy with the status-quo with HBG before the independent board then that is the obvious point of difference between you and most here.

You are so quick to denigrate the people who will march, but it is those people who I think have pushed Vlandys along and actually prove this club means something to the rest of the NRL, something I believe Benji and the players can actually tap in to.

 

[Merlot]

Yeah, he probably found out that Harvey was the guy that Brooksy rang up about renewing his membership. 🤣 🤣 🤣

heard he was classed as boarder line artistic by a doctor , Brookes , Because of his consumption of green crayons

Its also those people who allow you to take the JAQing off (just asking questions), apathetic position you have taken.

Where do I think we would be?

Same place we are now.

And after the rally?

Same place we are now.

What do you mean no one is questioning it ? Just because you want to leave it behind doesn’t mean the rest of us are ..

“rage and bile” …or outrage to actions that will disrupt this team for years…justified in the most dubious of circumstances by HBG …unable to stand up to any scrutiny and very quickly reversed

They hate you guys don't they?

 

[cochise]

Was there a response?

Yes, he may come within the week.

Not Dennis?

But we did leave it behind.

We have moved on to HBG Out & rallies & the end is nigh.

If a perfectly reasonable reason for the actions comes out tomorrow- will anyone even care now?

Why weren't more questions asked of HBG, Richo & even PVL now that he has stepped in?

You are all raging. But, you're raging in the dark.

 

[The Chad]

Yes, he may come within the week.

That would be fantastic.

 

[Vicious]

How can it happen again?

HBG can just go on their merry way and do what ever they want with their majority, no need to sack any of the independents because they now effectively have no power and no say to do anything.

If anything, I can see independents walk away frustrated knowing they can do very little.

If they are agreeing to come back they must be agreeing to the guidelines that have been set ?
I would assume the guidelines have been put in place by PVL ?

I keep telling you it’s not over … why are thousands showing up on Saturday ?

 

[The Chad]

I keep telling you it’s not over … why are thousands showing up on Saturday ?

I'd ask you the same.

My take- you're hoping to be heard.

By who, and to what result, I'm not so sure. Well, I can guess the desired result.

But even the NRL don't agree with that one.

 

[Vicious]

He seems to think this is about placating balmain fans

Its not

Its just some BS to appeal to the geberal RL public that hes done something
Yes, getting the indies re-instated is a step, theres much more to do.
I think he thinks his job is done and this will be the last we hear from him.
The leaks will resume...the instability will increase

After speaking to everybody involved, I would like to think PVL knows exactly what the problems are and would know much more about the situation than any of our fans.

 

[Put It Away Denny]

I think Wildman steps down.

Would free up a bit of time to pursue other interests…

Because what has happened today is not enough

 

[Vicious]

Well

Because what has happened today is not enough

Email PVL and tell him he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

His statement didnt convey that to me

Disagree. Dealing in hypotheticals but without the significant fan backlash HBG would of acted with impunity and Vlandy's would not have felt compelled to intervene. Keep the pressure up, maintain the rage, who knows what else might happen? Beats simply rolling on your back IMO

I don't want to contribute to a pile on, but I believe if you make a point, particularly a contrary point you need to be prepared to explain it, which you are on multiple fronts - credit to you
