My personal belief is, one of the factors in his leaving was to give emphasis. to the NRL, the dire situation the WT's are in. Not just a board matter, he brought it closer to the playing group, and therefore closer to NRL interests in the hope of involving PVL.

It’s all just another Balmain v Wests squabble apparently .. when will those two finally get their act together ?

Exactly. Put in an offer then do it up.

As some suggest, we shrug our shoulders and new CEO, players, coach and board shouldn't impact the on field results at all. No point in getting upset right?

No doubt, but the players need to feel they are the ones in control of Benji's future.

I was particularly disappointed with PVL’ s initial statement on the situation…seemed out of touch to what had just happened…so perhaps there is something to this … I just hope he is able to take the action most of us want

Yep. They are. But I have a feeling they won’t see it that way.

that totally depends on the performance of the team. A big drop down the table, i honestly think it is all over for the club.
History across a range of sports would suggest that dysfunction at board level will precipitate bad results.

If they sacked him now, maybe. If it’s halfway through 26 and we are In languishing in the bottom 4, no.

maybe the board could increase funding/resourcing as a show of faith? Along with some really clear communication to the effect of - nothing in the media will come from us, we are all in on the current set-up, your destiny is in your own hands.
I think thats a total fantasy

Haha, the only difference this time is that Balmain have not uttered a word.

At least the deal to upgrade Leichhardt hasn’t been canceled yet?
I'm not so sure. I really dont think HBG will continue to push the envelope, given the blowback they are receiving. Getting rid of Marshall, resulting in players leaving, is basically scorched earth. If players abandon the sinking ship, who will they con into coming to play here? What is the point of owning a football team in name only? I dont think they have the stomach for it.

This is solely my opinion only,,, not based on anything that is not already in the public domain,,,but i think this is the do or die move for some of the cronies on the HBG board to realise their ultimate agenda … the moves made to fire the independent board which they knew would lead to Richo’s exit, and the weak explanations presented to justify it , can not be explained otherwise IMO..

On something fundamental like our structure, I believe we do. That's what Richo was all about and why people are incredibly frustrated about his departure. He knew how to set a clear strategy, backed by data, and get the maximum support to go and implement it. We haven't seen that ever in our existence.
As to HBG. It should be a unifying issue, because the results of their incompetence have spread over 15 years. The data is clear, and all they had to do was keep their hands off. They couldn't even do that.
We can debate the magpies in state cup, or on the sleeve etc., but it should be completely irrelevant to this, unless we need this HBG debenture group to cling onto power to do so. Which I don't believe we do. It's really dumb business to alienate supporters.
