HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Pretty sure it's the reason Wests Campbelltown cashed out of the merger, they were always having issues with HBG. Pretty sure at that time they were still Wests Ashfield.

My memory is that Wests Campbelltown didn’t want to keep paying 10 percent of the bills back when the Football club was broke … i don’t recall them and HBG having specific issues … Maybe I’ve just forgotten .,,it was a long time ago….

I thought it was a very stock standard statement.
I’d say it was pulled because he mentioned Richo had their full support. Given developments that followed re’ the integrity unit investigation, HBG are sensibly watering down that position until more is known.

HBG took it down because the 3 independant board members who were removed lawyered up and took offence to HBG saying they had issues in communicating.

One of them threatened Steve with physical violence earlier in the week.

I was just chatting with ink and was saying that they have tried to intimidate me to stop me going to lidcombe in the past. Had guys come up and start abusing me at lidcombe.

I still go but can't take my daughter to games there as it isn't a safe or pleasant environment for her.

Mate that is absolutely disgraceful behaviour towards you and Steve.

Just goes to show how low and gutless some people are.
 
The NRL must consider whether the WTs under existing arrangements is the entity capable of carrying forward its aspirations for the South West growth area to be the flagship of league. The potential is enormous but we need men and woman with drive and vision to work as a team to make league the number one sport for boys and girls in the growth areas. Richardson, councils in the inner west and Campbelltown plus Benji all contributed to stadium upgrades, the new COE with UWS and improved off field performance. Mr PVL, make the correct call and take back the license and administer the WTs until a new owner can be identified with the drive and vision to make WTs fulfill its potential.

They were very disparaging and slanderous comments made against the independents which could have damaged their professional reputations.

It’s also completely absurd as well given HBG had two reps on the board, one of which is their chairman.

There’s really no coming back from the comments and rationale they gave. It was a weak as piss reason to sack the independents, shows a complete inability to manage or resolve (alleged) issues by HBG, and how out of touch and deranged the debenture holders and HBG board members are.

The fact that HBG have cited communication issues as a reason for sacking the independents, and not notifying the independents of being sacked before briefing the media is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

Is this feasible?

Richo resigns
Nrl hire Richo in Jason King's old position
Nrl appoint an administrator... Richo

???

Neither myself or anyone here knows what will happen ,,,

Having said that …I can’t imagine Richo walking away with a seven figure payout …then returning to the club to be an NRL administrator?

That's the other thing that's being forgotten, there's nothing stopping the state govt through their tools such as liquor and gaming enforcing change. Reason being they have committed tens of millions into stadium upgrades that apparently the owners don't want. What's stopping local and state govts from just pulling the stadium funding.

Wests Tigers fans can’t have nice things (under HBG)

I could, it would be the best middle finger to HBG he could give. He walks after taking 2 million off them then returns to run the club he was forced to leave that HBG were forced to sell. Free money.

It did. We finished equal fifth with Parramatta & Balmain. We lost a Tuesday play off to the Eels, who then knocked out Balmain on the Thursday before remarkably beating Canterbury on the weekend. The Eels run ended the following week (they clearly couldn’t hack the seven day lay off 🤣🤣🤣)

Can we delete this ? Circa. Relevance to wests tigers . Who gives a shit about a playoff game in 1975. That was literally 50 years ago .

Can you copy and paste it here....if they dont want it up anymore it could be handy to have
I just had a look at one magpies page...some very nasty and threatening posts to some of the boys here
Ashamed to admit this was my old club....there are some very very unhinged people involved in all of this

Come off it Ink - you, i and everyone on this forum know that most of the users of those magpie facebook pages are extremely pro magpie and have been hurling abuse at any balmain related issue for years. I could go on pro balmain facebook pages and find just as many nut cases doing the same thing to anyone who mentions the magpies.

I am sitting in the waiting room at the dentist and having a filling with needle is more enjoyable than what has been done to our WTs. Santa just came by and I asked for a Christmas gift from PVL 😁

Dentists terrify me and always have done.Good luck with your appointment and even more luck with your xmas wish because that will make nearly all of us happy.

Nah …. Not true . I don’t even think there is any . The distinction is there is no Balmain to support , let alone run a page for . The fact the magpies have kept the candle burning in lower grades . Means these fools have a glimmer of hope , and the desperation is reeking off every word they say.
BALMAIN DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE FFS!!!!! How many times and in how many ways do you need to be told the same thing .
