HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

The place is crazy. BOF gets the punt for no obvious reason, now he may get re-instated, so if he did something wrong they wouldn't re-instate him.

Talk of Brad Arthur as a possible coach to replace Benji, next hour - Benji offered a contract extension ??

So many stupid knee jerk reactions, just so unprofessional.

Yes that's HBG for you,the most useless group of people you could possibly find in charge of a club.
 
Did anyone else get a text supposedly from Shaun Mielekamp asking for a suitable time to ring and discuss their membership.

I am guessing that this is in response to my 2nd request for a refund advising that I bought a membership to a football club that was professionally run by an independent board, and what I have received is either defective or not as advertised, which I believe entitles me to a refund under consumer law.

And more to the point, how is this getting out into the media. The place is a circus.

Souths had no other option ... and there was no guarantee they would get reinstated.
Balmain didn't have to merge with anyone as they made the criteria, and on reflection, should have toughed it out.
Wests were in the same boat as Souths... but without the fan base.
Zero chance of reinstatement.
Don't kid yourself that Balmain didn't save Wests.
Now it's WestsTigers... so accept it and move on.

You just agreed with everything I wrote.
If Wests hadn’t coupled with Balmain, there were other options. And had they been left without a chair when the music stopped, I’m sure they’d have gone through the courts (given the history of 1983-85).

Souths stood their ground and Balmain blinked.

Accept that and move on ...

The best business deals are when all parties walk away happy, and with that in mind I suspect Peter V'Landys would have approached the HBG with implied threats in one hand and a sweetener in the other. The ARLC already owns hotels, and is building it's asset base, so the parties have common ground for a cozy little relationship right there. Of course so too does Laundy, so there are alternative options, but I can't see V'Landys handing a business opportunity like this over to a third party. Something may be brewing in the background that leaves the HBG saving face and doing very well out of the arrangement. Wests Tigers Ashfield has a nice ring to it!

It’s made sense to me since our first day. I have always seen it as a cringey way to cling on to something irrelevant and divisive. If ya gunna do something, commit to it.

When HBG decided with it’s infinite wisdom to take the action that it did I got emotional (angry) as many fans on and off this forum did, not only with HBG but also any of its “defenders/supporters”.

Now that we wall had time to absorb the incompetence of HBG and if the people who are active about the people’s voice and rallying is going ahead they need to direct their rally to NRL HQ as this would be more effective for the end result as the HBG board have proven to be weasels whereby they would say and do anything for their main superpower (debenture boardroom system) to not be threatened or changed.

As long as this debenture governance system is in play at HBG it will be a threat to our great club “WESTS TIGERS” and the NRL needs to understand this.

NRL needs to:

A. Force HBG’s hand to change the said governance system to maintain current ownership; or

B. NRL to takeover PERMANENTLY of Wests Tigers Football Board with absolute power (appoint a permanent administrator or the like) if HBG chooses to not change their governance ; or

C. NRL to force sell/changeover of licence to qualified new owner with legal protective measures in the contracts.

Change one way or another is needed otherwise this will be an ongoing cycle. So demonstrations should be directed at NRL HQ as they are the only party with any interest in the outcome (outside HBG) that has the ability to influence any form of change.
