HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

I wonder if weā€™re in a position to hand in our membership subscriptions and get a full refund.
That would be a powerful reminder that us members donā€™t stand for this (hit them how it hurts)could be a bigger protest than the proposed March.
Just wondering.??

Itā€™s definitely worth a try. For 2 years now I have refused to allow any of my money to flow toward the club, a boycott of sorts. Iā€™ve been to only one game and that was an away game.

I don't believe it's true i think it's a smear campaign he declared before any payments his involvement and his sons company

But like anything in life it's not what it is But what it looks like

IT LOOKS like a smear campaign orchestrated by OnLy Fans Denny in order to undermine and sideline Richo be cause he was succeeding in rebuilding the wests Tigers and the HBG saw the destruction and chaos at manly for the last 2 years and thought thats what we need , Mestrov, a CDEO that gave notice on November 4 before he was sacked and even then he said he a new career announcement pendingā€¦. Iā€™d love to see the correspondence between mestrov and buirgesss prior to November because Stevie Wonder could see that this coup, this wanton sabotage of Wests Tigers was brewing before this BS dismissal of the independent board without just cause in the reptile brain of Bangkok Burgess for a fair stretch of time ā€¦my guess is KPIs actually being met and team improving on the field was the final straw for the traitorous geriatric sleaze bags

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.

Very nice scenario that you paint there but my only concern there is that there is too much talk about Balmain with old Arthur, however I would hope that overall such a consortium would be wholly focused on Wests Tigers and just be respectful of the past.

I would expect that a successful entrepreneur like Arthur and those involved in such a consortium would be mostly concerned with the financial and on field success of such a venture and not involve themselves in the type of bickering and power plays that we have seen for over a quarter of a century.

Hard to believe that anything could possibly be as disfunctional as what we currently have in place.

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

@BZN can speak for himself, but I interpret his gripe as being one of degrees. Itā€™s more nuanced than anyone on here seems to give it credit.

He, like all of us on the Forum, follow the Wests Ts.
And quite frankly, whether you disagree or agree, at almost 80 years of age he deserves a tad more respect. Thereā€™s no need for abuse and ridicule.

While Balmain is today as irrelevant as a Betamax videocassette, ā€œthe Tigersā€ has become an all encompassing battle cry. Having read BZNā€™s posts I sense he smells a rat with regard those organising the uprising/rally etc.

People may disagree with that - but geez, keep it civil šŸ„“

Honestly @BZN , no one looks at the other 10%. Its irrelevant. We have 1 owner. HBG. They carry balmain and wests legends in their title.

No one cares about the magpies or balmain, except for a few people who have a hard time dealing with change... i mean, 25 years should do it but apparently not!!

We have 1 team in the NRL. The wests tigers. This is an incompetent mgmt and governance issue, not a magpie/balmain issue.

Itā€™s a waste of time Hammer. These Magpie people have been in a bad mood since 1963. When legendary Jack Gibson walked into the shed and told the team..ā€if anyone has backed us to win today call your booky and lay it off. My booky just told me that Lawler has backed the Dragons.ā€
Dragons won the penalty count 18/7 as well as getting some dubious calls against the Magpies.

If he or you don't want to be ridiculed, perhaps refrain from posting things that are ridiculous.

So what rat is that mate. I have asked @BZN many times, what he would like to see for better representation of the Magpies and he refuses to answer.

Ill ask you now, what is the rat you and he smell? If you are going to question our actions, at least be man enough to say what you think we are doing instead of hiding behind implied comments.

Fair enough, I apologise.

You must concede however, that for the vast bulk of both podcasts existence - itā€™s true to say they were both created by, and have been very top heavy with former Balmain fans šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Jesus mate,, do you just not get it???? We do not give a flying **** about magpie or Balmain BS.. everyone is furious because after a review was conducted as too why the wests tigers were 15 years without making the 8 in a 16 team competitionā€¦ mathematically equivalent to not winning a coin toss in 15 tries,, almost impossible mathematically without being caused by woeful incompetence ( deliberate sabotage in my view), recommendations were made and a chief executive was hired that signed on subject to the independent football board being installed ā€¦ and now that the CEO has started to achieve successful results in the view of many WESTS TIGERS supporters the clowns that ran the show for the 15 terrible , ridiculous years have deliberately reneged on all the agreements and dismissed the board and then tried to smear and defame the ceo in order to further undermine him and his reputation in order to justify their disgusting, deceitful and duplicitous actionsā€¦WESTS TIGERS supporters feel betrayed by this, fans that want the JOINT VENTURE to succeed can see its obvious that their team is being nobbled and they are all SICK of itā€¦.the success and the future of the WESTS TIGERS is what most on here are all focussed on and passionate aboutā€¦

Holman Barnes just blew up a functioning board and will now let our best CEO ever walk off into the sunset.

What on earth does that have to do with the measly 10% ownership of Balmain or some Balmain agenda? What are you hippies smoking? Your brain's fried mate.
 
So apparently the rally is taking place at the home of the Magpies so Wests can ā€œgive us back our clubā€. Also hoping Siro and Benny turn up

What if part of the reason for this move by Gary Glitters alter ego is to destabilise the fans by kick starting ye olde magpies vs balmain aggro crap?
I propose that any post by either group is simply ignored.

I think it's very much part of it. The actions are divisive which works in their favour considering the position of control and people's lack of understanding of the governance stucture

This feels like a real D-Day with the club , if Richo calls it quits and PVL washes their hands with a weak, let's see with these changes how it goes and we're watching. We are so screwed ...

I donā€™t trust PVL to do anything for us, tbh. I have no inside info, just a gut feeling that he would be ok with our club imploding. It would make it easier for him than having to make the decision to cull a Sydney team so he can spread the NRL to other areas in the future. Heā€™s made it perfectly clear that expansion is his vision and you just canā€™t have a decent competition with too many more clubs. He would still probably have to cull another Sydney team as well, but he will have a bit more time to think about that if weā€™re not around anymore.

I am interpreting.
No implied comment intended

Conspiracy theories are the order of the day (not just in and around Wests Ts), and I can see where a rally being organized by a gaggle of old Tigers who are marching on the Wests Leagues Club (est. 1955) could throw up a few red flags to those whoā€™ve been around longer than the six tackle rule.

Nothing personal, just perusing the optics
