love the commentary ".. was going to have a pull there, but changed his mind." I would hope so in front ot the crowd in Adelaide!

Do you think Carey got anything on that?

BZN, I understand you are frustrated, but you are on a tangent here. This has nothing to do with Balmain v Wests or squatters wanting to drive what the landlords do. The whole push is for competent governance of Wests Tigers. I think you will find that most people couldn't give a rats if...

That would be my preference too, but expect there will be middle ground before it gets there and the transition is likely to take time and will need to be eorked from the inside and outside concurrently.

Preferably both - but it needs to be a ground swell from inside and outside of the organisation. I can see a world where the debenture system exists but at arms length to Wests Tigers where clear governance rules are in place for the Wests Tigers Board. But then we just had that - or so we all...

That is true - but the club is majority owned by Wests Ashfield and I can't see that changing unless there was a forced sale - which I doubt. I can't see the debenture holders giving up their privelege without being forced to. I think the NRL and NSW L&G could potentially, between them, force...

I mean that the debenture system is dumped so that the mebership can vote in personnel based on merit not privelege.

Until the boad dcisions start to impact the direction that the club is heading, or deciding what part of football operations will be funded and how, enagement with the region etc. We have seen the discontent previously and given that we have changed coaches and players and CEOs etc with no...

I agree with you that Shaun and Benji are our best option currently. I don't necessarily agree that HBG needs to go, although that would be a great outcome. What we need is for the debenture system to go so that the HBG board can be elected by the full membership. The crux of this problem is...

By your own logic BZN you have lost absolutely nothing as we still have the Wests (Magpies) name. Both factions in the JV have been stupidly childish in their off field approach to runing the JV. Unfortunately our major shareholder has a demonstrated track record of ineptitude when it comes to...

I am also distrustful of the media Ink, but when you link the replacement of the coach with players saying they will walk it is the typical political methodology for enacting change. Set the conditions so that the decision is made by someone else and you can have clean hands. I disregarded the...

You are missing the point. It is not that Meilekamp has plans to sack Benji or that the Mastrov rumour was incorrect. It is the deliberate destabilisation to set conditions for potential action. They set the conditions to make it untenable for Richo to remain - is this setting the conditions for...

The point was about the leaks. It is clear from what is being reported in the media that someone at the club has already started to set the conditions for the next potential move. It may not occur but sewing the seeds has already affected the team and the coaching staff. It started the minute...

Back to my original point - this was not happening under the previous administration. Now we are back to where we were with the clown show was running the joint and the HBG "good ideas faries" had us jumping from one incomplete plan to the next.

But they aren't quarantined from it. They can all read the news, and when they start leaking to the press that a replacement is being sought for Marshall before a ball is kicked and you have players stating to the club that they will walk if he goes, it is affecting the team. Benji's big...
