HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Thing is imo, HBG complain that Richo was autonomous and allegedly they were kept in the dark, that's precisely what we needed, we need a dictator at the top who won't take any prisoners cause for the last 15 years it's been a career killer coming to the Wests Tigers. Other thing aswell, if HBG install Mielekamp as CEO, iv got absolutly no confidence he will be anything other than the HBG board lucky, he won't be doing his thing just what the overlords want.
Why do you expect that from Meilekamp?

I don’t particularly have any confidence in anyone HBG appoints …

If the NRL is not going to curb their authority somehow tne place is up shit creek
 
Very well said mate.
While your agreeing with a bloke who reckons
I’m a disgrace, I happened upon this alternate view to the claim you made the other day re’ threats of violence from the Lidcombe crew. Thought you might find it interesting 👍

Most of my posts here are angled toward playing devils advocate and trying to stress there are two sides to every story.

If that’s disgraceful, then so be it 🤷‍♂️

Because it's obvious that HBG want to maintain control, if they wanted to allow the board and CEO autonomy they would have left it alone. Now iv no doubt you and Cochise are spot on and he's a great operator, Richo knew what he was doing and wouldn't have hired him otherwise. The problem isn't Mielenkamp, the problem is the HBG board. We could have Jack Gibson here, if HBG don't allow the club autonomy and want in on every decision he wouldnt get the club anywhere.
 
I'm a HBG member and like most are horrified by the conduct of the HBG board however, I won't resign my HBG membership as there could be an upheaval and subsequent vote such as scrapping the debenture system, the board elections or whatever, who knows?? My instinct at this time is don't patronise the place but, hold on to your membership "stay in the tent" and "keep your powder dry"!!

We need to support all WT staff, Benji and the team to the hilt but, during matches this season voice or demonstrate our displeasure to HGB unilaterally in some orchestrated way?

According to my research current HBG directors who are debenture holders are Burgess (Chair),Montgomery, Tropiano, Liubinskas & Di Michiel. Independents are Primerano (Deputy Chair) & Yabsley.
Current WT board members Burgess & Montgomery both debenture holders can anybody confirm?
Known debenture holders include:
  • Peter DiMichiel (Chairman)
  • Dennis Burgess (Chairman, also a Director of Wests Tigers)
  • Kevin Hammond
  • Daniel Lane
  • Clare Burgess
  • Fiona Shand
  • Russell Smith
  • Brian Cook
  • Mick Liubinskas
  • Scott Beynon
  • Paul Marsh
  • Allan Fallah (Appointed recently)
  • Leo Epifania (Appointed recently)
  • Bob Cairns (Appointed recently)
  • Tony Raciti (Appointed recently)

I just can't see them hand picking someone to do whatever they say, or they would have just left things as they were 2 weeks ago.

Ok. Fair points.

Question- did HBG govern what Richo could or could not do?

What control did they exert over Pascoe?

Why would they do different with a guy like Mielenkamp?
 
If Chammy said so I guess we’re cooked, call it off, someone email him and apologise for stalking his Instagram account. Tell the lawyers the independent directors and Richo are crooked. Ask PVL to stop investigating, he’ll only find trophies in our cabinet.
Mate its very australian for regulators to do nothing. ASIC are known for softness don't see nrl being any different
