HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Chunk]

Absolutely. I pointed out a few days ago, if people had an issue with Burgess, they’d have a field day with Fallah. Misogyny in everything he posts.

And isn't he a high school teacher?

Yeah. Endeavour Sports High last I heard.

If I walked into Israel and started reciting Mein Kampf, I think my perception of what constitutes an enjoyable experience would change too.

You'd better be careful wt.
I got a suspension from here for simply asking a poster "are you Jewish" in a non-threatening way and gave that poster the reason I was asking.

 

[BZN]

Dread to see who comes in next, the NRL should have a representative to report back, keep the HBG fools in line.

Who and why are the HBG fools and why do they need to be kept in line?

 

[BZN]

Only a matter of time before Mielekamp disrespects the Wests side of the merger despite them owning 90%!

Why would he do that wt?

The sacking of the board was foolish @BZN . At worst, it was against the Constitution and set us back 5-10 years reputationally. At best, it was an absolute amateur way to resolve a conflict and damaged our brand unnecessarily.

Judging them fools and trying to limit these actions in the future ("keeping in line") is a fair response here.

I watched an interview with Denny, who was asked, “and tell us, how did you come to own an NRL footy team?” To which Denny replied that it started with becoming a debenture holder.
Here’s an idea? How about we increase the $100 cost of a debenture to say $450k?

Come on pussycat you really need to wake up from your one-sided slumber, you have seen what's happened the last couple of weeks.

Take off your magpie-coloured glasses for once, please don't reply with anything stupid or I'll have to post the chicken again.

Stop egging him on.

I see @Vicious couldn’t answer this trivia question.

It’s a very different board now to what it was back then.
Different people come and go on boards all of the time.

 

[innsaneink]

He's still a teacher?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He's still a teacher?

As far as I know

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He’s 66 now. He could be retired for all we know. Either way, not a good look. He’d make ol’ Denny Boy blush.

To even raise that post today, shows what sort of person you are. You used a Jewish stereotype to try to insult me.

Why you would want to raise that again today really shows that you have no self-awareness. To be honest you should be banned again.

8 directors sacked in 18 months including 3 chairs in addition to replacing 2 ceos. They have now been told to reinstate 3 of those directors. Sounds pretty foolish to me.

Behaviour has stayed the same.

 

[Vicious]

Behaviour has stayed the same.

That doesn’t means new board members and new behaviours cannot be put in place in the future.

Why should anyone trust that when a group of 20 people get to make those decisions, pretty much the same 20 that have been involved for years?

I am willing to give it one last chance to work based on the fact I believe they will be terrified of deliberately doing anything wrong and facing the ramifications being threatened by PVL.
To me that is the sensible common sense approach before throwing all of our toys out of the cot.
Do you honestly think it will help our new acting CEO, our coach or our players if their is continued angst from our fans even if everything is above board and done correctly at board level moving forward ?
And I don’t mean the selection of who is on our independent board. Yes I agree it would be a much better look if the the balance of power is with true independent board members, however I’m sure the independent board members we have will make it known and likely have PVL’s permission to call him if they are seeing anything unfair or corrupt happening moving forward.
If anything unfair or corrupt happens at board level moving forward, then yes every fan should have the right to say enough is enough and you will not see me defending HBG if that is the case.
At the moment we have many fans just hoping there will be more trouble just to prove their predictions to be correct.
