HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Already posted this in another thread but repeating here:


HBG were pretty quick lining up Mestrov, the time line seems a touch suspicious.


Tue 4 Nov 2025, 09:40 AM

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Chief Executive Officer Tony Mestrov has today informed the Club of his resignation ahead of his next career announcement.

Board Chairman Scott Penn said Mestrov has agreed to stay in his current role until the end of the year as part of a transition process. By agreement, Mestrov’s last day will be December 19.

I am struggling here to understand why "Sea Eagles" and NRL management is viewed as good?

Look I expected Siebold to tank the Eagles. He hasn't yet, he may when DCE leaves. (I expect he will).

Easts, would take their manager in a heartbeat as long as they did not whinge every 10 seconds. .. Is Mestrov good? Struggling to understand any logic to this.

Hi Suzie-Q....It's me BZN back after another relaxing 2-day suspension.
As one of the very few posters on here from the Wests Magpies side of the JV that haven't been chased away by the Balmain people, did you think I was going to start a riot for posting on here from a Magpies pov?

I'm just asking for a friend...do posters from the Wests Magpies get suspended more often than anyone else?

Anyway, I had better get back on topic.

As you know I have followed the mighty Magpies since 1963 and I'm now nearly 80 yoa.

Without doubt, what's happening currently are the darkest days since I started following footy.
But the next few days are going to be darker still.
Our JV hasn't worked and won't work while the Balmain side of the JV continue with the aggressiveness that's currently being displayed, and led by the chief head kicker and stirrer known on here as Cochise.

Hey mate. Free speech and all but just for the record, Suzie doesn’t need us to stand up for her. She’s a big girl.

This post is to highlight to you because it seems as though you don’t get the picture. This cause is a stand against a very tiny few minority which includes yourself.

It looks like a dude with a conflict announced the conflict . If it doesnt look like that to anyone they’ve obviously don’t understand the process of excusing yourself from conflicts of interest .
 
Funny. In the last three days I’ve read from one charming individual how the mods are pro-Magpie and Magpie propaganda is ignored. Then the other extreme with someone else claiming the Magpies are marginalised. Funny how all extremists use the same playbook.

He's a very shrewd operator and if Pvl is as switched on as people say and Wayne Pearce really is his closest ally and confidant in the commission then I can't see how Pvl does anything other than what Richardson's asking for. Pvl would be aware of his track record. He would know Richardson knows his stuff, if he's saying we need away from HBG then iv no doubt Pvl is listening. Whether he has the stomach for a stoush with them iv no idea. Though HBG havnt really come across as the most competent group. I think if the articles right tomorrow Richardson is Ceo under an N.R.L admin, with all board members reinstated and the 2 HBG members replaced by N.R.L appointed board members until the Laundys consortium make the purchase and fully privatise the Wests Tigers.

I don't know I want a fully Privatized Wests Tigers...

Cashed up owners make some sense.

But the Nathan Tinkler knights was a trainwreck.


Returning to member control is probably too steep an ask. WT members are there, but were not made of money.

I hope Richo and all those concerned can give us a structure that respects fans while making our club, stable.

2017-Loose the Big 4 sign quality players like McQueen/Packer/mats/Reynolds/Mbye
2018-The coach that blew the team up jumps ship, great thanks Ivan!
2022-Madge knifed
2023-Sheens knifed
2025-Richo knifed?

A lot of crap in recent years (under HBG). So sorry if I and many others feel like giving the team up. Personally I enjoy watching the game more when it’s not our team as we usually play a pathetic example of football anyhow. As a Brisbane boy I’ve always had a soft spot for the broncos and ofc our once Mr Fixer Madge. Wests Tigers are that crazy ex that you really just need to leave.

“This is all a lie bc I’ll continue to follow the club as I’m probably just as stupid as our owners”.

I found it sad the other day when I read the last 5 premiership winning coaches EX Tiger coaches

Richo is the best thing to happen to the Tigers in the last 15 years

It is a conflict of interest... But it is also a whacking stick.

A lesson in life, never let the most corrupt lecture you on the corruption of the least. We weed out corruption from the worst to the best!

BZN, sorry to be the one to enlighten you mate, but you’re suffering from a deeply ingrained paranoia. There are no Balmain fans that I’ve noticed on here during the last 5 years.
Doesn’t the magpies have a social media platform?

Yeah no aggression from Cochise at all. Just selfishness and delusion from you antiquated HBG flogs who can’t seem to fathom that it’s no longer the 1970’s.

All your posts drip with passive aggressiveness and all you do on here is try to stir shit and gaslight. You’d think as an almost 80 year old you’d show more maturity but all you do is act like a spoiled brat in the school yard.

Primary school kids have more maturity than you.

Like everyone has said, it’s not Wests vs Balmain. It’s Wests Tigers vs those gutless incompetent dogs at HBG that are ruining the club so why don’t you [This word has been automatically removed] off down to Wests Ashfield and drink with your spineless mates because it’s clear you’re not a Wests Tigers fan.

Oh and Suzie is dead set the most respectful, balanced person on this forum with literally no allegiance to any team but Wests Tigers. Take your sarcasm and subtle criticism and shove it.

At least be courageous enough to come out and be direct.

This is satire, right?

And, just so you know, I wasn't the mod who put you on a 48hr ban. Please stop implying that I have some vendetta against you. Please stop following my posts. Honestly, it's weird.

I watched 12 Angry Men last night. There’s a great quote from Henry Fonda. “He can’t hear you. He never will”.
