HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

100% agree B2T...and every day gets nearer the pointy end of life where you could fall of the perch at any time, you definitely get to learn getting upset about footy is a waste of time. Being interested and concerned is a real thing, but getting upset, nah.

That’s a great attitude BZN I commend you for a truely remarkable turnaround. Are you ready now to tell us all about your vision for WT?

When the merger happened everyone on both sides agreed that the “Tiger” should be our emblem. If I remember correctly we were going to be called Western Tigers but someone on the Magpies side wanted that to be changed to Wests Tigers.

Part of the kerfuffle now is “too much orange” on the new jerseys. I know actual tigers have a lot of orange colour in their coat but I’ve never seen an orange magpie.

🤷‍♂️🐅🙀
 
My advice (if I may be so Bold?) is for Richo, Benji and players is to find a better gig, one where you don’t need to fight so hard internally to achieve the results you expect. Somewhere you don’t need to constantly look over your shoulder for the enemies within.
Don’t worry about us fans, we will drop off or find another team.

The thing is HGB won't give up their license without a fight. They will try to drag it on as long as they can.

If the NRL decide to take it back there won't be Jack shit HGB can do about it. The NRL tips around 13 million in club grants to each club.

All the have to do is pull the plug if they find reason too.

I think HGB may have underestimated the heat this was going to drop on them.

I hope it can be sorted but if loose the license it is, so be it. I'd rather see the root cause with the WSM debenture administration forced out and proper voting for delegates, along with the NRL kicking in some temp funds to up the 10% Balmain share.
 
I believe if Richo was gonna walk he would have walked today. He knocks things on the head pretty quickly.

He has been around long enough to probably think about this scenario. I think he will have a few hands to play.

As some have already said he won't say anything on the record or publicly he will use the journos he trusts to publish it as a hypothetical.

PVL gets shit done & for him to come out publicly today I think we may be okay.

Quietly confident by radio silence besides a simple website post, note no members email. Plus a FB/Insta post of the players.

Everyone that has come into the fold backs Richo from an off field perspective. He goes I think a lot follow.

Yeah, I dont think JC understood the situation well. This isnt a balmain conflict thing, theyre gone. But he still got to the right conclusion.

Yeah it's only a small thing but it irks me especially in the media it's the Wests Tigers. We're not the problem the majority shareholders are. Until they start constantly repeating HBG nothing can change as the public perception will be it's a typical Wests Tigers drama. When for once we were sweet.

The funds part isnt needed if the club is running a profit. Just get rid of balmain TBH.
 
Ive said it before and I'll say it again, if its the logo / emblem thats the problem, Tigers / Magpies- just remove that friction and become something new, whilst acknowledging both original Tigers & Magpies with equivalent shoulder flashes. Dunno what though Im sure people can come up with options. Yonks ago I suggested 'bushrangers' as a neutral, new name.

It’s not Tigers or Magpies that’s the problem, it’s geriatrics.

The fire and brimstone from just about everyone these past 24 hrs has been amazing . Journos in lockstep with tv and radio pundits in lock step with podcasters in lock step with all us punters on here , in lock step with anyone of any note who contacted PVL in lockstep to get some actual reaction from the nrl . And it happened so quickly… if we can get a solution where these dinosaurs get put back in thier box either through threats and board reinstatement , or the more extreme putting the club into administration , it will have been a galvanising experience for most .
And Dennis …. Is in hiding . Not answering his phone apparently …. Great leadership right there…
