HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

How can you say that if Laundy takes up the sale there will be far more money than what HBG have at hand.

I reckon there are 3 possibilities RHS and 2 out of the 3 we will be better off moving forward.
1. PVL puts plans in place to strictly monitor HBG and they understand they cannot again step out of line otherwise the licence will be taken off them.
2. The ownership gets sold to Arthur Laundy and associates.
3. PVL puts us in the too hard basket and either ships us off somewhere else other than Sydney, or just revokes our licence all together.

Its not Shyt1ehead its called the 'Wests Tigers Forum`. HBG don't own this space and we're allowed to be as partisan for the club we love as much as we like. Like we are allowed to be pissed off here. Our club happens to have a Tiger on the logo. That's my Crest and I'm proud of it and good luck trying to change it. If you want to glaze on about victa lawnmower replica strips you can head down to the leagues club and pluck Denny's old grey saggy bass strings. Or stick around here if you want, but don't think for a second that Wests Tigers fans need to listen, like or respect anything that isnt unambiguously 1000% WESTS TIGERS. If you want to have a bet each way, you're no real fan.

Huh 🙁 @Bus 2 Terrigal is just as entitled as any Balmain person to express his views about Victa lawn mowers as anyone else and not be put down for it.
WESTS are still part of the JV AFAIK ATPIT.

True,

I had thought maybe HBG acted now to not disrupt our season 3 months ago. As much as I hate this BS now, I vastly prefer it happening Now then derailling us mid-season.

All up the communication excuse sounds BS:
2x HBG directors sat on both boards. They have the responsibility of keeping HBG informed not the 4 independents.
This has been planned for ages.


I want blood. I am open to the remote possibility of the HBG board coming clean soon and revealing something... But I really doubt that will happen.
The HBG board need to resign OR we need a divorce.

Mate I hate to be the bearer of bad news but our whole season has already been derailed before it started thanks to this BS.

Only 2 suits me V

1) They have had decades to get it right and their time is up, just blunder after blunder.
3) If we get moved and merged again in another state that's the last straw for me our identity will be diluted even more, too hard to come to terms with.

Wait till Luai walks out the door followed by Bula and if they spear Marshall the club will implode that will be the time the NRL steps in and takes the license off the HBG.

And finally, Wests and Balmain will be dead and buried and sadly so will WT.

I agree apart from WT being dead. WT have a fan base...these fans are lost if the NRL does that. They will simply force a sale to new owners and WT will continue.

No faith in PVL to uncover the truth ?

What exactly do you want to know the truth about? How will that help us manage the club in a way that makes sense to people?

HBG ownership = more drama now and into the future. You think the "truth" is going to change that?

If want more, here's what Gemini thinks about recent actions compared to parramatta being dismissed.

The Parramatta case serves as a direct precedent for the current HBG situation. The ultimate reason for the Parramatta board's sacking was that it had "ceased to be effective as a governing body"—a core requirement of the Registered Clubs Act 1976.

The current turmoil at HBG—with directors suspended for misconduct and the majority owner sacking four independent directors over internal disputes—is the very definition of a board that is not stable or effective, making it a very similar issue to the one that triggered the most severe regulatory action against Parramatta.

Parramatta had a laundry list of breaches of the act from directors on the licensed club board. The chair himself waved a white flag and asked the regulator to step in.

HBG standing down directors on the board of a completely different private entity that they own is not the same thing.

L&G themselves came out with a very carefully worded statement, the subtext being that they couldn't care less what's going on at Wests Tigers Pty Ltd.

I've also heard that Tommy R is planning to roll over in his grave if HBG aren't stopped.
