HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

But the way for those who wanted to jump down my throat and jump on the bandwagon in abusing and criticising me for suggesting there were dodgy actions happening outside of the HBG as well as inside the HBG, I will accept your apology by way of bank transfer. PM for my account details. Thanks in advance.

This whistle-blower thing all seems a bit convenient don't you think?

To come out and say let's wait for the full story, then say I told you so when this nonsense comes out without waiting for the full story is a bit ingenuous.

I hope not because it’s been virtually non existent in recent times.
Look Richo also deserves to be innocent until proven guilty, but to be honest a lot of things have not been adding up including him being silent for so long.
Plenty smelled a rat surrounding the players recruited from his sons agency.
It doesn’t change the fact that at least some, I believe 4 prime suspects were plotting to change the teams name to Wests Magpies and had sinister intentions tj get their way.
I don’t know what type of magic mushrooms these people are on.
Love or hate Benji, one thing that is certain he at least has the right intentions and all his actions are genuine.
Maybe there is good reason why he is so keen on employing staff with a strong Wests Tigers connection, it’s hard to find anyone else who takes the place seriously or has the right intentions.

His tiger's security blanket is certainly looking like a smart move now.

Rumour has it the old gold tops used to pack a punch might explain the decades of HBG delirium we have endured.

This has been mentioned a couple of times on here, but surely Richo is not the sole recruiter, therfore it would be safe to assume Marshall would have agreed to them also?
 
Richardson has had a target on his back from the get go - and if he has stepped out of line he pretty much signed his own death knell. More fool him to think he had their support.
It's all about Wests control - the current consortium never ever backed the recommendations of the review and have systematically removed all that did.
They were well aware of the conditions in Richardson deal that he would walk if OFarrell was removed - so what did they do.

What their long term plan is on the back of this action you can work out for yourself.
 
I am so triggered seeing these posts about Richo..It's a smear campaign.

Everyone please email Richo and let him know you back him through this.

We need him to fight this like he fought at Souths

Can someone tell me about where HBG are located

Unfortunately it’s an ‘anonymous’ accusation that is yet to be proven, so don’t get ahead of yourself.
Maybe you are the anonymous accuser given your prior stated knowledge.
🤔

Of course and that is why delusional Dennis needs to be removed.
All he wants to do is manipulate, play games and have enough money coming in to cover his OnlyFans account.
He’s no good for Wests Tigers.

Dirty Dennis what a clown, if HBG were a reputable entity surely they can see this guy is a magnet for scrutiny, any good organisation would have shafted him years ago, his singing is crap too.

I like the thrust of what you're saying. The problem is, with HBG as ultimate owners, they are always going to want final approval on some decisions and the way things look now they seem to want too much involvement in football matters. I'd like to know more about how this set-up works in big clubs like Penrith and Canterbury. They have a similar model where the licensed club owns/operates the football club and seem to operate OK. Although Canterbury had had some board issues over the years but nowhere near as toxic as our environment.

They don't have debenture holders. Elected representatives on the league's club side means better connection with members, and no self-interested parties.

Nothing wrong with the current WT>HBG structure if we can change that part of it on the HBG side. We need elected reps that get selected on merit

It is so very simple from all of this.

- HBG fear losing control, so gets rid of the independents on the board.

- Richo works well with the independents, HBG don’t like this, want him out, and in preparation have been subtly collecting things that they could use against him if needed, despite agreeing to them at the time and signing off on them.

- Richo’s contract is well written with the clauses, so HBG would have to pay big to do so, thus get someone to be a whistleblower based on what they have collected to oust him that way and avoid the payment.

- HBG then can place a weak CEO with ties to them who will do their bidding into the role.

- HBG gains all power again and can move forward with any plans they have to destroy the club as it is and bring back the Western Suburbs Magpies.

Out of this it has to be a simple decision for all of us;

1) Richo stays, Independents reinstated, HBG sells and has no link to the club ever again.

Or

2) HBG stays, WE ALL GO.

If it has to be number 2.

Then it is what it is.

They go or we go…..

It’ll force the NRL to have to move.

I get the vibe Richo will stick around. I doubt he’ll pike out after the work he’s put in.

I'm wonderint if he'll hold his shots until it plays out. There's every chance that HBGs move is not the end of proceedings, and if he's quit the post, there's probably no coming back.

Also I have a suspicion that even HBG are super keen to keep Richo in his position - his appointment was a HBG decision before the independents came on board.

I'd be willing to bet HBG are very keen for Richo and Benji to stay the course and I think, rather, they've vaslt underestimated the fan backlash on the Board machinations.

You blokes (and gals) are wildly jumping at shadows.

Nobody has said the club is reverting back to the Magpies

But go ahead, if you must, keep swinging the pitchforks at imaginary enemies 🤷‍♂️

Sorry but you arent paying attention. There's a lot of chat about whether or not the Magpies would be returned.

Nobody really thinks it would happen, but its not reasonable to say nobody is talking about returning the Maggies when
(a) it's been in the media for 2 years including from former HBG members
(b) the club is 90% owned by what is originally the Magpies faction

Stop being so auto defensive that fans have concerns. Entirely reasonable concerns.
