He seems to think this is about placating balmain fans

Its not

Its just some BS to appeal to the geberal RL public that hes done something
Yes, getting the indies re-instated is a step, theres much more to do.
I think he thinks his job is done and this will be the last we hear from him.
The leaks will resume...the instability will increase

i doubt very much PVL lets hbg pulls this stunt ever again.
On face value their is nothing they, Nrl L G etc'. can do
No doubt he stated his claim, fools won't be tolerated,
Licenses for participation are up for renewal soon ,as is the broadcasting rites.
Should equate to a couple of years of above sanity how this club normally runs

As an fyi from a very reliable source, the plan all along was for SM to take over from Richo. They expected it to take place at the end of Richos contract though, not like this

Yes, he was brought in for that role. Thr reason he was moved to gm of football was to broaden his skillset

Lol nah, you have to take my word on it.. I'll PM you.


Yeah the overly aggressive nature of some is just passion + uncontrolled emotion... Don't hate on em.. they mean well

I've not hated on anyone.

Everyone has a story.

No need to PM unless you want to- happy to take your word for it.

That's the thing- there was no scrutiny. Who got an answer on the reason HBG did this in the first place?

The NRL go in- everyone figures that this would fix it- and the result was a compromise to bring back some of the old board, but give HBG control & Richo isn't part of it?

Now YOU see this as an embarrassing slap in the face to HBG. Fair enough. It might be.

I see this & think- how did the NRL get involved, but HBG came away with what they wanted? What did HBG tell the NRL? And why was Richo specifically not part of the compromise?

Going back- is this partly to do with the allegations at the time?

So my questions are now- was Richo doing what HBG were complaining about all along & not passing on vital information to the owners?

It's not a conspiricy. It's wanting to understand.

The end result is not the argument you were making beforehand though …you tried to argue HBG’s actions to dismiss the board were justified when even Stevie Wonder could see otherwise…

If they were trying to play out some Machiavellian outcome to get rid of Richo and get a majority on the board …whilst returning the independent members .,,that’s not what you were saying before… and are these the people you want to support running this club ?

BZN (and the likes of you) are the exact representation of the problem with this club, whereby, due to your misguided loyalty to a brand that is deceased as far as the NRL is considered. You would blindly support and an ownership/administration with a debenture structure that is not held accountable for all the failures that have occurred under their watch.

I don’t know you nor do I care to know you but you strike me to be a person that is satisfied with a participation certificate for all.

I’m in it to win it, I don’t care much for participation recognition.

especially when that award is a smack on the bum with a wooden spoon
 
As it stands now, HBG has control, this is the mob who had the keys during our decade of horror. On top of that they have sent our best ever CEO packing. So the question I ask, why should the members and fans be happy with the events of today.

Personally I see this as all damage control by both HBG and PVL with he hope they can fool the punters into thinking everything is now resolved. I would not trust HBG for one second

Not really. If that is the way it was understood so be it.

I simply (or maybe not simply in hindsight) put out alternative viewpoints to the rage & bile that exploded on here.

Nobody was questioning the why of it.

Hardly anyone is now.

What did we miss?

Why are 'thousands of fans' marching/rallying/wearing toga's on Saturday?

Wests Tigers plays an important part of my life. Sadly. And watching things like this happen bother me.

Unlike some, instead of throwing things- I want to know why.

And trusting the words of former board members, outgoing CEO's & reporters doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

So I bury deep & try to understand it.

If you want to throw rocks- throw them.

People address things that matter in different ways.

The Chad, where do you think the club would be if everyone simply sat back, calmly questioned why things have unfolded and then went on with their lives? If you were happy with the status-quo with HBG before the independent board then that is the obvious point of difference between you and most here.

You are so quick to denigrate the people who will march, but it is those people who I think have pushed Vlandys along and actually prove this club means something to the rest of the NRL, something I believe Benji and the players can actually tap in to.

Its also those people who allow you to take the JAQing off (just asking questions), apathetic position you have taken.

Where do I think we would be?

Same place we are now.

And after the rally?

Same place we are now.

What do you mean no one is questioning it ? Just because you want to leave it behind doesn’t mean the rest of us are ..

“rage and bile” …or outrage to actions that will disrupt this team for years…justified in the most dubious of circumstances by HBG …unable to stand up to any scrutiny and very quickly reversed

But we did leave it behind.

We have moved on to HBG Out & rallies & the end is nigh.

If a perfectly reasonable reason for the actions comes out tomorrow- will anyone even care now?

Why weren't more questions asked of HBG, Richo & even PVL now that he has stepped in?

You are all raging. But, you're raging in the dark.
