HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

What you again fail to understand is the majority aren't Balmain people, Balmain are not the solution, they are part of the problem.

We are Wests Tigers people, we love the Wests part of our name. The debenture holders due not own the Wests Tigers, the hbg directors do not own the Wests Tigers, they are custodians only and have failed in that role.

I’m confused. You say « we love the Wests part of our name » Does that mean you don’t care for the Tigers part of our name? How can you be a committed fan of our team, the Wests Tigers? And you say Balmain is part of the problem; do you also mean Wests are part of the problem ? Or just Balmain? Is there a Magpie hiding in the woodpile?

Cochise is a passionate WTs' supporter. I take it to mean we should be proud of our heritage but need to be unified in our support for WTs. I am a huge Balmain supporter but know the future is WTs. Many youngsters from the inner west and Campbelltown and Macarthur support only WTs.

Black and Gold never folds.

Thanks ! I guess I’m seeing negative conspiracies everywhere now. I can’t believe this is happening to our club.

It might be speculative but from the outside looking in what was done last week is proof our majority owners are incompetent when it comes to running an N.R.L franchise. No one, no other club no matter how poorly run or how in the dark they were, if they were, would have come close to doing what HBG board did. There were ample other options that could have been taken. They could have very easily set up a conference call between the two boards, a meeting anything. They chose to blow the joint up.

Good post. I am of the view it was worse than incompetence.
 
Without having a democratically elected board the club will always be in danger of self destruction and little chance of long term success. Even if they come up with a peace plan for their lastest actions, another explosion is just around the corner.

The HBG have to get through their thick skulls, it’s not their club, it’s the fans and members and they have the responsibility to make sure it is run successfully and legally.

Anyway while they have the current debenture system I have very little trust in them

They absolutely removed the independent board members. For reasons that they seem to believe are reasonable (which unless you like circles- we'll agree have been covered).

What they have not done or said is- the independent board member model doesn't work.

As I asked for the last couple of days- if 4 new independents & a new CEO are put in place, is the hysteria warranted?

I’m sure your independent board didn’t include including the dismissed chairman that was previously unacceptable to HBG due to his ‘suggested’ lack of communication - complete bozo’s in charge

It would benefit both HBG and the NRL if the former concentrated on what it does best in running Wests Leagues and leaving the running of the WTs to another entity selected by the NRL.

We had 4 good directions, a chairman and one of the bst CEOs already before the HBG politicians blew it up.

We're tarnished yet again.

FACT. We are worse off because of HBG yet again

And it looks like they might be reinstating at least one of those board members… so I assume they are admitting that they were wrong to act that in that manner ? Or do you still want to wait for further information that supports their initial actions? That isn’t coming Im tipping ..

Hysteria … from whom .., the media?

What’s to stop them removing 4 new independents in a months time under similar dubious circumstances?

Well he’s walked away with 1.5 million hasn’t he ?
He received hundreds if not thousands of emails from Wests Tigers fans offering their support and as far as I’m aware, I don’t think he replied to anyone.
I’m sorry if you don’t want to hear it, but I don’t think he gave a flying you know what about Wests Tigers.

I have emailed Richo several times over the last couple of years, and he has always replied. I emailed him the other day, specifically stating I did not expect a reply in the middle of all this mess. Would ypu really expect someone fighting for their job, their organisation's longevity, to stop and return, as you have suggested, hundred, if not thousands, of emails from Joe Bloggses like me? 🤔 I was more than happy with the acknowledgement to fans in his presser.
