Wests MacArthur would be the ideal replacement..

The bulk of us former Balmain tigers fans understand that this is a WESTS TIGERS MERGER!

Wests macarthur is our future..

TOo many magpies fans here are projecting their own insecurities

Very simple, everyone stop using the words Magpies & Balmain in any post. We are only adding fuel to their strategy of deflection from the real message.

The message is clear ... HBG out!

That's true Steve, but he can't go unchallenged. He needs to defend his position and the more he is challenged, the more it's clear he can't.

For me it's to expose, not to convince.

I’m talking about perceptions.

Darcy Byrne with cheerleading from the podcasts are who I’m talking about.

This perception may well be just as unfounded as Burgess and his mates trying to get the Magpies back into the NRL.

Both are conspiracy theories, yet it would appear that only some conspiracy theories are seen as kosher on the forum

I noticed you sparked up again after Cochise mentioned they have Darcy on a podcast today.

Nothing but muddying of the waters ever since he said it.

As I told Suzie you don't even deserve the right to post here.

You may think you are fooling people and are the smartest person is this room but most can see why you are here and what you are trying to achieve.

It's a bit sad. Kind of feel sorry for you.

Darcy Byrne is a muppet that jumps on the dramas of our club to further his political ambitions I have seen him do it numerous times, the guy is all bark no bite. He is there for himself and nothing else.

Iv no doubt that whoever purchases it will be mandated by the N.R.L that everything remain Wests Tigers. As it should be. Other thing is technically if privatised and taken from HBG then Wests and Balmain will no longer be a part of the club as they're under the HBG umbrella. If we split I'm assuming we would need to rebuild our reserve grade team juniors and rebramd as the Wests Tigers. We would play against Wests and Balmain. So I can't see how any one could change anything.

If someone else was to take 100% control, there's nothing stopping them from building a new framework which includes these clubs.

My preference is to go to a Wests Tigers NSW Cup team.

Of course, the Magpies NSW Cup team is it's own entity anyway, so they would probably remain in NSW cup. We've had 2 WT aligned teams in NSW Cup before. We don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water or punish Wests lower grades. They aren't the problem.

When Darcy Byrne sacks a successful independent board for the WT …we can compare things apples for apples
 
I’d like to read the article first. Can someone post it. I was told that he’d be informing staff that he is leaving unless the NRL step in.

Wests Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson has informed staff that he will walk away from the joint-venture as the club’s front-office turmoil claims another high-profile scalp.
Richardson is poised to quit his role less than 18 months into a four-year deal that began last July, in response to the removal of four independent directors from the Tigers board last week.

Richardson called a meeting on Monday to tell staff of his decision. It is unclear at this stage when Richardson will end his tenure but his decision will leave the club without a chairman or CEO, given he follows former NSW premier and administrative ally Barry O’Farrell out the door.
Outgoing Manly boss Tony Mestrov – whose tenure at the Sea Eagles is due to finish on December 19 – has been approached as a replacement but is yet to confirm his next move. Mestrov declined to comment on Monday.

Richardson’s move comes as the NRL determines whether there are grounds to investigate the veteran administrator’s conduct and a potential conflict of interest regarding the use of the Enrichd Group – a company Richardson part owns with his son, Brent – for marketing, branding and digital consultancy services.
Richardson has declared the potential conflict of interest previously and is privately adamant the whistleblower tip-off to the NRL will amount to nothing.
Sources speaking on the condition of anonymity have indicated Richardson’s contract contains termination clauses that protect a lucrative payout.
Despite a seemingly positive season on the field which saw the Tigers progress under coach Benji Marshall, with recruits Jarome Luai, Terrell May and Sunia Turuva lifting the club from the bottom of the ladder, majority owners the Holman Barnes Group dismissed the board’s independent directors in the club’s latest off-field drama.
HBG directors have grown frustrated with the approach of Richardson and the Tigers board.


HBG chief executive Daniel Paton said in an interview with this masthead last week that club owners have been excluded from key decisions, such as the football side’s stadia strategy and player signings above a certain transaction limit.
Paton denied there was a desire among HGB directors for Wests Magpies to shunt Balmain Tigers out of the joint-venture, as had been claimed by former Tigers chairman Lee Hagiapantelis.
ARL Chairman Peter V’landys and the state’s liquor and gaming watchdog, Liquor and Gaming NSW have confirmed they are monitoring the Tigers’ latest administrative drama, with V’landys promising the NRL would “safeguard” the club’s long-suffering fans.
