For me it’s an ultimatum, remove the clique currently within HBG, reinstate the independent board format and only if that is not agreed on, then HBG Out.
But the current NSW Cup set up is non negotiable and does not change unless there is good reason to change into the future.

Seems not.

Some are calling for management and governance change others are calling for a sale of the Wests Tigers others still a name change.

Seems factional.

I'm not trying to pile on, but for the sake of your own peace of mind, V'Landys has categorically said Wests Tigers name will not be changed. The ARL owns the IP, so HBG can't do that. No one protesting wants to change the name. That is a fact.

To your other concerns, HBG can sell the club and Wests Tigers also remain based on the point above.

Governance changes would consist of the debenture system being abolished in favour of leagues club member voting. Pretty sure their memberships would explode if they did that, but that's a different discussion.

Basically, people will be happy with new owners or the abolition of the debenture system where the fans can vote in the best people available for the job.

NSW Cup is the least of people's worries.

A WT team would make logical sense, but it doesn't make a material difference. Nit to me anyway.

The debenture system needs to go otherwise the same 20 people circulate in power. They are the clique.

Yeah reserve grade is a non-issue. Get a bit of pride back in first grade and the lower grade guys may actually want to play for Wests Tigers.

I agree with the first part.
Some disagree and are adamant our NSW Cup team must be Wests Tigers, even though Brisbane and Melbourne do not feel the need to have their feeder teams replicate the name of their NRL team.
As for the debenture system, I am very sketchy on how it exactly works, but my understanding their is a current t clique involving 3 of 4 internationals who are currently in control and the others have not yet reached that status.
I’m tipping there is a huge chance of an internal challenge as a result of the recent events.

This is the most serious post you've made in the last 12 months. AHX made one or two serious ones as well, so clearly there's been a big shift.

I don't say it be funny...because lord knows I'm not...but it goes to show how much weight this decision carries.

To your point though, the act of responding to every question with another question, as if the goal is to exhaust everyone into silence, is in my humble and entirely unsolicited opinion, done in a shade of bad faith. It’s evasive, it’s circular, and it contributes nothing to the discussion except fatigue.

Thankfully it's a very small minority.

Chad and The Bus and BZn and vicious are just plain trolling now .. ridiculous strawman arguments , just for the sake of it and to annoy the fans on here that are truly upset by the Biard and Richo being sacked .. nasty , pathetic behaviour from old men with nothing better to do .. it’s gross

How'd I get drawn into this? Lighten up dude. There'll be a new CEO & shiny new board members for you to be angry at within weeks.

That is what 99% of the posters on here i see are also advocating for.. not sure where you are getting the idea that anyone of note on this forum is actually gunning for WESTS or Tigers to be dropped?

I mean, other than the poster she responded to literally saying the club should just be called Tigers..

But I disgress.

Its ok to stand up for, innocent until guilty. But That smug humour ,passive aggressive style, yet hardly state where they stand on matters, here is another question i have for you to tie you in knots that is relentless and ongoing.
Who really has time for that unless their running an agenda
ps, funny how the morons that ride the club into the ground at every chance ,using statistics that never shut up ,have nothing or very little to say ,little own back it up with numbers, are quiet

Everytime I bring up stats I get accused of being "a stats guy".

Can't win!

Honest question- is it a HBG account? Or a private account? I can't be bothered looking myself, but I can't imagine HBG are rocking Instagram.

I’m not commenting about what was supposedly posted as I’m not across those details … but Whether the account was the companies or a his own makes . no difference as far as your employer is concerned … have you never had to sign one of these ? You must be a long time retired then because they have been around a while
