HBG takeover, Independent Directors Sacked

On the contrary, I am very careful with my comments and don’t just ‘spray’ them around.
I was very clear it was aimed at the Wests dinosaurs actively trying t disrupt the club and turn it back into the Magpies.
You shouldn’t be upset unless you’re one of them.
If you’re upset with the ‘dinosaurs’ tag you can take solace in the fact I also wear the label.

But which period are you from?
The Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous periods?

I understand your point of view and you have every right to suspect HBG are up to their old tricks yet again.
The issue is we now have swarms of Wests Tigers fans jumping up and down blaming the HBG dismissal of the independent board members based on the media reporting it is largely to do with the 2026 home jersey.
The statement from the HBG spokesperson states a different reason for their dismissal, so are we as fans really helping the matter by coming to our own conclusion without really knowing the real reason behind it ?
I suspect the recent post from Bigscreentv is highly likely the motive, but why would Richo via Barry O do anything that could lead to their own demise ?

Can't really know, but I am thinking they don't want progress under the Wests Tigers banner. This is the first year in 10 years that they recorded a profit without cash from HBG. Richo was open about wanting to run with financial independence from HBG, and maybe they were starting to see their power slipping.

I think HBG probably do need to move on. Their vision for the club seems to fundamentally oppose the vision of the Wests Tigers supporters, the NRL and supporters of the game in general. Which makes you think, why would they bother? One strong motive would be to stop progress of WT because they really want the magpies to live on/take over.

I'm a tigers fan from 1988 - I couldn't care less whether we play out of Leichhardt, Campbeltown, Parramatta or Pittsburgh for that matter.

I also have some experience in business and know that it's harder to screw up like HBG have than it is to make it a success, which makes me think they must be doing it deliberately.

This sounds stupid but it just looks like they're doing things at the perfect time to tank Wests Tigers in the hope of resurrecting Western Suburbs Magpies. That's just my tin foil hat on because I cannot believe there can be a boardroom as stupid and incompetent as we keep being dished up by HBG.

"They" who make the decisions own nothing "
"they" work for the organization and "they" consistently show they have NFI how to successfully run an NRL club that the fans can be proud of - some of who are protected by a debenture system that comes with no accountability for performance.
It appears as long as "they" maintain control success is not a priority.

Why would anyone choose to knowingly be associated with a club that fails?
I don't think it works that way young fella.

What we’re you expecting ?

OK the jig is up. Innsaneink has broken me. I’m a double agent working for the Chinese Govt plotting for years via the Forum to overthrow the Wests Tigers on behalf of the Communist Party’s bid to enter their own team in the NRL

Three cheers for the Beijing Pandas (which naturally, will wear black & white jerseys)

Could be. I think they are just cutting Richo's legs from underneath him. What the end goal is? Who knows? It's definitely not in the best interest of the club, it's members and/or fans.

Pretty disappointing really. Going to have to start supporting the Balmain Bowls Club.
