HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Big Red said:
Was surprised PVL didn’t commit to protecting the Wests Tigers fans rather than this:

““We will protect the Tigers fans and the Wests fans. It’s going to be a genuine Wests Tigers franchise …”

He kinda fell into the trap of being overly diplomatic.

Does he really fn understand whats going on?
It appears not

Whistleblower Identity? Does anyone know who the alleged WB is? Apparently, an ex-marketing person.

Meanwhile, I was wondering - where did that young blonde lad who did last year's Comedy video of the upcoming draw end up? When Ray Warren's son (Chris?) left the club for Manly, I fully expected the kid to take over as the lead media face for the club. Then when Behind The Roar restarted this year, it just stopped when it kinda never really got going. One week it was the kid then it was TIm Grant then Apps and then nothing. Something definitely happened during the dare I say it - the Galvin exit period! I mean, we got more video from Terrell Davis May than the club during the season.

I reckon the answer, my friends, is whistleblowing in the wind.

Edit - yes I know there were plenty of BTR episodes later but they were part of the anniversary of us not being in the 8.

Edit part 2 - I know - it was the anniversary of the 2005 GF - I was there!

that’s lachie! definitely not him. he’s been campaigning on his socials for #HBGOUT. he’s just a social content creator in his own right so does some things for the club occasionally

I use to be concerned about private investors but at this point any option would be better. I can't see it happening because the mob that hold the power have nothing to sell - re their is no personal benefit to the people who are in control. And unless the NRL enforces something to change the governance structure of the licence, my continued support for this club is like self inflicted torture. The hate is real.

I think what needs to happen at this point is to register an Incorporated Association (https://www.acnc.gov.au/for-chariti...ty/charity-subtypes/incorporated-associations) and build an independent WT fan association.

The more organised the fans are, the more media, NRL and the owners, whoever they end up being, will listen.

It's the natural progression to all this and if you want a say, you pay your membership and you get a vote. Being a non-profit, you can direct any extras to junior league, schools or whatever.

The biggest thing is you remove any cynicism around one group of fans having a voice, but are essentially unelected. Majority agree with what the guys are doing, but it carries more weight if you can say the fans voted for this officially...we are united.

Ok, I actually like the words.

The dancing by the person on the right to him is just Elaine bad.
His singing is karokie passable, clearly not good but not woeful.

I like the words:

The magpies in balmain are the heart of
the game and the name of our team Wests
tigers
For more than 90 years there's been
Blood, Sweat and Tears but we're here in
the game.
City and the West have given us the best
what it takes to make a tiger blood
so watch the night of the gold black and
white and stand up and Roar with Wests
tiger
wests Tiger
wests tigers


That said, you see that first line "the Magpies in Balmain. I heard it originally as "Magpies AND Balmain"
He doesn't see wests going south. He is a director of Wests Ashfield and I suspect the HBG group want to keep the club in that area.

After reading this I cannot see how HBG havnt breached the agreement they made when implementing the independant directors. If this is accurate then Wests Tigers should be calling in lawyers.

A few things can help us now …

1 Viola, Williams & McDowell pursuing legal action against their dismissal (has the mentioned in the news they are looking into it).

2 Former HBG directors all dismissed Gilbert, Wayde, Andrecchio & Romero coming forward now against the HBG (worry is they may be gagged due to any of their own legal action against HBG).

3 HBG debenture holder John Hardgrove leading a coup against the HBG cabal. (he has previously spoken out about the dysfunction & poor treatment of other HBG directors).

4 Official complaints made via HBG official channels about perceived bad behaviour of current directors. Look back and have a look at how trivial some of the complaints made against Wayde, Gilbert & Andrecchio were which led to long suspensions. So why can’t similar antics from the cabal be reported, investigated & if similar suspensions aren’t forthcoming, definite case for L&G to investigate again. Surely the exposure of Burgess’ follows on Instagram does not meet the professional code for directors given it’s in the public realm.

Just some suggestions, very possible they are all happening anyways.

not sure what you mean ink.

the club has done a good job at re-engaging content creators who are WT fans back in. namely lachy mcintyre, matty g, lachie pring etc. they all already work in media. it’s a good way at capturing the younger audience that may already follow them to follow the club.

partly the reason i couldn’t care less if we paid more for richo’s son’s media company. because they’ve done such an excellent job at it so far.

If the individual shareholders run the club to the ground such as ours - are there any provisions for the shareholders to be held accountable Cochise? In other words is Denise Burgess untouchable?

As a Wests Tigers board member he should have got the same treatment as the four independent directors if the WT board was not communicating with HBG, how can he not be guilty of the “crime” ?
