Will you be attending the Save the Wests Tigers March?

[The Chad]

Where did 4 Balmain come from?

Have we just discovered why all these Wests fans are shitty about have independent directors on the board? Because they think independent = Balmain?

I think the argument Wests FANS are having have been different to what I've been trying to figure out from the beginning.

What I've said regarding Wests/HBG etc all along though- if they are the majority share holder, they probably feel inclined to a bit more control than the 10% share holder. So if HBG runs the 90% share & want things done their way...

It's understandable.

Now, if it was 50-50...HBG doesn't have a majority share.

 

[The Chad]

10% ownership for each foundation club to protect and celebrate heritage and 80% to a new neutral owner with a focus on the future?

YES

Perfect. That would solve everything.

There's a lot of confusion with 90% ownership and accountability.

They're a member owned club, yet the members get no say. It isn't more complicated than that. @BlackWhiteGold has given the best and most sensible solution by far 👏

Except that "the old fools on the board" chose to extend him in an attempt to take some of the heat off themselves.

It’s easier to oppose decisions than remove ownership.
That’s been proven.

 

[Buttface]

So how’d the march go?
Did it resolve anything?
How many turned up?

How are you going to convince the organisation that has tipped in so much money to walk away?

Reports of over 1000 people.

My wife converted from a roosters fan to a Wests Tigers fan and our 5y/o and 2y/o have their first “historic” WT moment lol. Hoping it turns out to be a success rather than emotional abuse 😅

Yeah, though the problem the vast majority are angry about is the removal of the mostly at arms length and independent board. A board that along with Richardson as CEO, helped to obtain further funding for our more traditional home grounds whilst increasing memberships and making a profit.

The HBG pair of representatives on WT board had their say and purportedly agreed with everything direction wise, including the new jerseys. They then decide to blow things up after the initial batch for 2026 sold out.

 

[hammertime]

I think removal or selling is not going to happen, nor do I think thats the best solution.

I hope they just do the right thing again, like in the report. Maybe with some ironed out assurances around Wests prominence, and of course, financial signoff.

We were doing well until two weeks ago. Just need a mechanism to stop their idiotic brain farts. Maybe NRL level as 3rd party.

If not, we keep going the hard way.

This is the war Leo Epifania mentioned in yesterdays SMH



From another magpie director....this is directed at us all

 

[Big Red]

I’m not, it’s not up to me. I’ll let them know what I think, which is what I did today, but unless I get a $50M bonus for x-mas that’s all I got.

They seem to like tipping in money because they sacked the blokes who were making them a profit for the first time.

Everyone has an opinion, but not all opinions are worthy of attention.
We might be getting a glimpse of some true colours here.
All the more reason to continue the protest.

This is a plainly foreseeable response.
It is also not without some merit.
The organisers surely anticipated this?

Why did she convert Big Red ? Always interested in the reason(s) when people change teams ?
