HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Disagree. Dealing in hypotheticals but without the significant fan backlash HBG would of acted with impunity and Vlandy's would not have felt compelled to intervene. Keep the pressure up, maintain the rage, who knows what else might happen? Beats simply rolling on your back IMO

I don't want to contribute to a pile on, but I believe if you make a point, particularly a contrary point you need to be prepared to explain it, which you are on multiple fronts - credit to you

Thank you.

To my point- we don't know how HBG would have been going forward.

The NRL negotiated a compromise it seems. If they hadn't, at no point had HBG actually said they disagreed with the independent board member structure- just that the board hadn't been transparent with them (not debating the validity of that here). There is a CHANCE that HBG might have hired independents to the board themselves.

We simply do not know for sure.

You say that.

But as it stands they now hold control over the board after PVL stepped in.

And Richo is out.

So it kind of looks like they got their way at this point.

I'm hoping that the olive branch is extended and another independent gets added, or as Demps suggested, one of HBG steps down, to balance the board.

You rage on though if it helps.

Seeing as we're giving alternative viewpoints. Sounds like PVL was in on it all along?

We offered them a spot over a week ago. I believe he will come on but don't think he will be interviewed by me.

To be honest- that's fair. I wouldn't want to feel like I'm walking into an ambush myself (as I'm learning lately).

Not saying that would be your intent. Just that he might feel it was.

Regardless- them reaching out & answering questions could solve a lot of issues.

And yet, they are now majority board members.

And how did they get to be the majority board members. Hmmm good question

Do they ‘own’ HBG - yes/no
Were they voted in by the members - yes/no
Did they obtain their position by paying a nominal amount to join a closed group of self interest - yes/no
 
Can someone please put what’s going on , in plan English , I can’t go back throw all the ins and outs , so if someone can please just put it in plan English, I would be very happy

I don’t agree with a lot of your opinions, but nobody can doubt your love for Wests Tigers or dedication to a cause you believe in.
I won’t be attending Saturdays march/rally and that’s not disrespecting what you or any other passionate Wests Tigers fan believes in.
It’s obvious to me you genuinely believe in the cause you are fighting for and I think the vast majority of people on this forum also genuinely believe in the cause they are fighting for, so you all have my support and respect even though I don’t necessarily agree with you.
All I ask is to please further investigate the terms and guidelines that have been instructed by PVL and I assume agreed to be the returning independent board members.
Do we genuinely know if Benji and the players are happy for continued supporter angst or if they would prefer the clubs supporters try to get past their boardroom issues for the good of the rugby league team moving forward ?

They had a meeting with the NRL & PVL said, you can be majority board members?

Im happy to trust the 2 gentlemen that conducted the review and their recommendations for change at the club.

Recommendations that were having a positive effect on this footy club.

I say no to a HBG majority board.

Do you believe the 2 gentlemen who conducted the review know more about running rugby league clubs than what PVL would know ?

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 ...

I would if everything you wrote was true.
Wests didn’t have the support or the money to go through the courts.
They were shot ducks.
