Yeah, but it’d be worth less and nobody would come visit you.

Appreciate the response, I wasn’t trying to be dismissive. You posted something earlier along the lines that you think it’s a ridiculous thread and I genuinely thought you weren’t interested in discussing it. I think you misunderstood what I was saying about improvement being an indicator of...

Absolutely, incompetence followed by deceit resulting in a loss of integrity and credibility.

Improvements in governance, systems and processes, policies, leadership, organisational culture, financial performance, recruitment and results. Improvement is an indicator of success. The level of success is determined by the targets that were set. There were obvious failures as well but the...

Last years success was the result of a organisation wide team effort over the last two years. HBG blew it up and turned it into a circus. No amount of gaslighting will eliminate that stench. Benji Marshall December 13 2025: “We made a plan two years ago, and I’ve got to give credit to Richo for...

Benji was biting his tongue alright but it was HBG that was spared the lashing. Can’t imagine the following headlines generated by HGB’s actions went down well with Benji and the playing group: “Seven of the Wests Tigers’ biggest stars have reportedly threatened to walk out if Benji Marshall...

Here ya go, or is this more group think? https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/the-architects-of-the-wests-tigers-review-banned-for-a-combined-15-years-20250101-p5l1iq.html

That’s an apt description of how the HBG treated the four independent directors. The HBG board should resign.

The CEO’s responsibility is to communicate with the board of the Wests Tigers. It’s the responsibility of the WT board to act in the interest of WT. If SM reports to the WT board that the 2027 home jersey is to be predominantly orange based on market research that shows this will result in an...

The floors yours HT, feel free to Fri let loose with all the signings updates.

That’s what happened last year. We had highly qualified, highly accomplished independent directors working with one of the best CEO’s in the game. The club was flying and then the people who make bad decisions, made more bad decisions. Replacing the people who make bad decisions was the aim...

Agree, great post @ boonboon. ASIC can take enforcement action where there’s a breach of the corporations act. Not sure what would trigger a response, perhaps an anonymous whistleblower! Presumably the NRL could also step in if they have given HBG notice to fix their governance and were shown...

Following the independent review, HBG went through a lengthy process to appoint independent directors based on recommendations of an external recruitment agency utilising a skills matrix and selecting from a large number of applicants. The calibre of those board members demonstrated the value...
