HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Correct, when the board was restructured I feel Balmain should have put up a new representative to give a clean slate to the new board. At that point he was the only person that remained from the pre review board.

This is a new and exciting revelation from you.
Did you just simply forget up till now as he was from the Balmain side of the JV.

I don’t see the playing group being affected by Richo’s exit. I can see them getting their noses out of joint about Benji. However there is a very simple solution if they want him around. Win for the guy. Don’t have another sub par season than cry if he’s moved along. This isn’t a country club.

If only

That's a good description of how much credibility you have.

Can a question be a description?
Granted you can have descriptive questions, but at the end of the day, they still remain questions.

I asked about net zero as you appeared to be describing factional dysfunction approaching LNP magnitude. Maybe WESTS-tigers should go the full hog and dump Paris
 
  • Haha
Reactions: BZN
Very strange that you didn't come clean with this at the time.
But then he was from the Balmain side of the JV, so it just conveniently slipped your mind.

The more you write stuff like this, the more your reputation suffers. Very Holman Barnes like though...smarter than everyone in the room until it all blows up in your face.

The point was about the leaks. It is clear from what is being reported in the media that someone at the club has already started to set the conditions for the next potential move. It may not occur but sewing the seeds has already affected the team and the coaching staff. It started the minute Richo left the joint.

You know, I have always been extremely skeptical and mistrusting of the media in situations like this...hiding behind things like "On the condition of anonymity blah blah"...probably to my detriment as to whats actually going on.

Its hard to know who to believe especially online, I often dismissed reports about us in a negative sense probably due to a bit of persoanl bias as well.
But now...with us, nothing surprises me and Itappears the smoke precedes fire saying is more often true with us

The way algorithms are set up now its impossible for players to avoid media, which when I hear players say " I dont know anything about that I leave it to my manager" Is usually BS

Just thinkin out loud, and agree with ya @Jolls

I think it takes time to cut through the noise until you reach the truth. It's like comparing a summary (the papers), with an Encyclopedia (the full story)...it will take time to get through all the volumes, but in the meantime, to keep up, you have to rely on the summaries.

Eventually, the truth reveals itself and people can see that now.

If we hover around the same spot on the ladder or go down, the justification is there to move him along.

Its not that simplistic
We could have a shocking injury run, we could lose seven games by between 2-4 points...all sorts of unforeseen scenarios could occur
Maybe justification to HBG whose kneejerk reactions are their forte ...but this is just all guesswork atm

Thanks Gibbo

Note my qualification - it shouldn't effect the team "in the short term"
Click to expand...
I don't think that qualification is correct either. This is completely demotivating. People who are supposed to direct the organisation you've bought into are making dumb decisions, yet expect excellence from you? Players read the media and some are WT fans since birth, hurting just like us.

We can't expect the players to be the better people here.
 
But what you don't want to admit by saying "we don't want Balmain back either" is the FACT that the names Tigers and Balmain can't be separated, they're the same entity.
What you should be saying is 'we don't need Balmain back... as we still have the [Balmain] Tigers name.
You have lost absolutely nothing.

We’ve lost heaps. Most weeks actually.
#WESTS TIGERS

I’m proud of our history on both sides. But it’s just that.

I hate to go back to the past …but you blokes just keep talking about it …

The Wests Tigers was the name put to the members of BOTH clubs when they voted to accept the JV in 1999

Couldn't the same argument be used in reverse? (Outside of the lauding bit). I mean, it's not as if Balmain is offering anything to the joint venture.

Lets do some revision here Balmain were granted or set to be granted the 14th license at the time. The magpies were out, Balmain realized unless they merged it was only a matter of time for them also before they got the punt forever. They were more financial than Wests at the time iirc, It was a marriage that served both parties at the time.
Fast forward and Balmain shot themselves in the foot with the leagues club debacle which gave Wests Ashfield the chance to step up which at the time they did.
As i stated above Wests nor Balmain would be here without the other, so the in fighting from the old dinosaurs from both sides tbf need to wake up to themselves and stop a very long time ago. You would have thought 2005 would have been enough to galvanize and stick solid but not us can't have that squabbling at board level is the name of the game.
If we aren't careful We might get what was coming to us both 25 years ago extinction, I dont want that i moved on 25 yrs ago along with the majority on here and realized that we needed to co exist.
Its the Wests Tigers thats the only license that will surivive and so it should be, if your under the age of 30-35 you likely wouldn't have a scooby doo about the history of Wests and Balmain. I really don't understand why its so har4d for some to fathom.
BTW not having a crack at your post whatsoever just led into my points.
