You are a pivoting machine

Talk to me about opinions I have actually stated and I’ll talk to you about yours …

You are saying it’s a ridiculous contract now … why defend these dopes then ? Why do you want to give them “one more chance “

Because other people such as Richo and the Independent Board also appear to have made some bad decisions.
Everybody makes bad decisions, nobody is perfect.
PVL who has reviewed all the recent facts unlike many on this forum and across social media are just guessing and making up their own story as they go along, has quite obviously thought it is best to give them another chance.
Coming from someone who knows all the facts I’m listening to him ahead of everyone who is just guessing and making up their own story as they go along.

HBG saved the joint in reality along with the junior leagues. Criticism is fair however calling for losing control and or ownership is ludicrous. They need to increase footy IQ on the board within their group. Like them or not they own the club it’s a company they one shares

I remember those Dirty Harry movies from the 70s/80s…

Just before blowing the baddy away with his Magnum 357 …, Clint Eastwood used to say “ A good man knows his limitations “

Our friends at HBG should stick to running the pokies palaces and swanning around in Corporate boxes telling all in earshot how much they love the Magpies.

Employ experts to run the football team

I don’t think many have heard the saying “ Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”

We started this discussion today with you being critical about your mate Richo walking away with $1.5m … which you subsequently learnt was at the hands of your buddies …

At least the other fanboys here are open about their love for HBG ..you kinda pretend you are on the fence

PVL aint got no time for this … he would be happy to bury it for a couple of years

What sort of contract allows soneone to leave on their own terms and collect 1.5 million on the way out ?
I cannot believe there are people with the opinion “Well done Richo, you earned and deserve every cent of that 1.5 million”
Money spent on his sons company that should not be allowed as it’s a conflict of interest and the bungled Galvin contract saga which was 10 times worse than it should have been due to the way it was handled, yet we have people saying Richo is an angel and and never does anything wrong.

What a surprise, you side step questions again...

Let me make this really simple for you...

Should HBG take any responsibility for what happened? If so why/why not?

I look forward to your answer to that direct question.

So you think it’s a good thing that Richo walked away with 1.5 million for doing nothing ?
I’m sure you wouldn’t have that same view if you was a shareholder in the club.
He bungled the Galvin contract saga, overpaid his son amongst many other things, he is not the angel you have been suckered into believing he is.
PVL has openly said he will be closely monitoring our situation, so you are very wrong by saying he ain’t got no time for it.

I’ve said a thousand of times, yes HBG have to take a fair share of the responsibility of the recent events that have caused our fans into a frenzy putting all of their energy into who is running the club, rather than just supporting their team.
The major issue is they are not the only ones responsible and nobody wants to admit that even though it’s staring at you in the face.

I don’t give a shit about the money ..: HBG pay it out of their own pockets …not the salary cap … just like they have paid out plenty of others to move them on over the years …

We’ll see what happens with PVL … in the meantime he is worrying about the Broadcast deal and setting up Perth and PNG … I’m sure he is sweating bullets over whether the Wests Tigers run last/ second last …. Again

That’s the attitude, don’t care about wasted money, it’s not coming out of your pocket.

Ideally it would be great if Wests Tigers kept the 1.5mill and Richo saw out his contract, but he only took the job under the condition there was an independent board.. how thick are you mate? Who sacked the board? Maybe then they are responsible that we had to pay 1.5 mill?

Galvin was never staying a tiger. He had been in discussions with his teacher from the bulldogs since last year when he wantdd to leave.
Are you just going to ignore that Lachie was upset that Luai formed a close bond with Latu? And all the other contributing factors? Ofcourse you are going to ignore it.

Can you please provide proof of this?
And when the NRL investigates and finds this to be false, will you issue an apology to the Richardson family for dragging their family name through the mud?

The major issue is WHO sacked the independent board members and WHY?

That was the catalyst for everything...

Everything else is nothing but unsubstantiated claims that no one can back with evidence. Until then, what proof do you have that Richo is a crook and ran the club into the ground?

Did HBG help secure government funding for the two stadiums?

@BZN stop trying to find things that are not there. Seriously do you just sit at home every day looking for something to try and trigger people? It is sad.

The facts are out there, and have been mentioned enough times. HBG has brought years of failure to the Wests Tigers through their poor running of the club to the point the club languished at the bottom of the table, with numerous leaks to the media being a constant, and the reputation of the Wests Tigers being completely tarnished. This was to the point that an independent review was forced by fan support and led to change.

When that happened the club began seeing a turn around in commercial and on field performance, for it to only then be blown up again by HBG after they went through a year of infighting, backstabbing, and people being out for themselves. This then crossed over to the Wests Tigers board and has since led to HBG taking back everything they had been told to step back from.

All people on here that are fighting for the Wests Tigers, unlike you with your pro Western Suburbs rhetoric are trying to give the Wests Tigers the chance to continue to be successful, and remove the part that causes constant issues and prevents the club from being an on and off field success.

There is no conspiracy, there is no pro Balmain, or anti Western Suburbs agenda, it is only Wests Tigers. If you had been there at the rally yesterday, you would have seen that. There was no people out for just Balmain, no one beating up either side, just purely people united against HBG and supporting change for the success of the Wests Tigers.

So get on board, or at least be a part of the conversation, over trying to constantly break it. Stop attacking those who actually care about the issues, and have proven it time and time again, and actually showed their care for the club yesterday (having spoken to them personally), rather than you just being a sad antagonist sitting behind your keyboard trying to get you joys from the chaos you are trying to create.

Great post

The board of course have to approve who is appointed to important positions such as CEO, Coach, Marquee players etc
I don’t know how anyone can say appointing Ivan Cleary or Michael Maguire coach were bad decisions. We were looking good under Ivan Cleary until he threw us under the bus, I fail to see how that is the fault of the board ?
Maguire was also a very good choice and he too started off well, before going backwards before he departed. I personally would have given him another 12months to turn it around, but the power of the voice of the majority of our fans forced his departure, yet sone of those sane fans now claim the board doesn’t listen to them ?
Justin Pascoe also had a very good resume including working for the Panthers, who was critical of him being appointed when it first happened ?
It’s all very well to point the finger in hindsight, but there has been plenty of good decisions that have been made, but did not go to plan.

Those coaches failed because the place was a basket case. Did HBG back the coaches no they flipped and flopped all over the place. Rather than fix the issues they kept sacking people. You may well blame the fans fir putting pressure on HBG but fans are reacting to constant failures not just one coach or one season. HBG have the bigger picture and didn't know what to do with it. Richo was changing the culture along with Benji and they got rid of him. They then panicked agian and signed Benji long term. Surely you can understand supporter frustration at the shambles HBG has turned the club into.
Please don't blame the fans. Let's get real about this.
