HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Wow. Done pretty explosive allegations about HBG in that video.

Is it really that explosive? Anyone with half a brain can see that HBG care very little about Wests Tigers being successful and winning football games.

They have held a majority share in WT for over a decade. They literally do not care if Wests Tigers win games, only that they can watch Wests Magpies at Lidcombe Oval in NSW Cup.

I can only go on the history mate. It was obvious for a long time there were issues in the club so we sought a review.

That review conducted by very qualified people found that there were serious governance issues at the club and made a list of recommendations.

When those recommendations were mostly implemented, the ckub actually started to make measurable improvements across a wide variety of indicators for the first time in over a decade of failure.

The HBG who were found to be an issue in the review, then decided that they would blow that up and return to controlling the club.

Im really sorry but I'm not ok with that. These guys are not owners, they are custodians of our club and they have failed in that role.

I won't stand by and watch them continue to destroy the club.

It is not their club, it is our club.

Agree 100%.

There's only 1 thing that hasn't changed in the past 10 years for Tigers, in the search for answers and success - the owners. We've tried roster, home grounds, coaches, assistant coaches, logo, juniors, NSW Cup, Board members, CEOs, sponsors... all changed for little to no improvement.

I’m not. I check to see what’s going on at night.
For a week and a half the crap being said on here has been very entertaining.
People carrying on like the world was ending.
I find it interesting.

What do you think of the HBG board? Don't you think it's problematic having them run the club in terms of developing on and off field success or you aren't fussed?

Apologies if you explained opinion earlier.

If that’s the case they must have pulled the wool over PVL’s eyes and not many if any do that.
BOF and the other 2 independent board members who have been reinstated obviously know what they are dealing with.
Why are they wasting their time by coming back if it’s a lost cause ?

Not quite yet.

HBG have won 5 seats on the board. But the independents are back. I think all 4 of them will sit and dignify themselves with a year or two. ... on a board they will probably be over-rulled by.

HBG havent though faced US, the fans. We want some damn answers over this mess and Denis Burgess can answer to us.


WE need a good showing so that HBG will actually think twice before doing anything this stupid again.

I imagine all the independents will demand that for themto return HBG has to have little to no power. Less power than they had before, not more. Why would they return just to be puppets? There's no point.
The proposal makes no sense, solves nothing. Thousands of members leaving the club demanding refunds, lodging formal protests with basic and fair trading, having rallies (this weekend will be the first of many, if necessary)
There's still a long way to go.

did you listen to it? it puts into perspective in easy terms ,what a lot of people ,unlike yourself don't quite have a grasp of yet.
Those that care about this club - and maybe in 1/2 a mind about the march being worth it .
Educate don't ridicule einstien

lets dream for a minute
Valandys not only coerced hbg to take them back , but also he talked them into returning
Unfinished business , revenge is best served cold ,f knows its happened
Only an imbecile would step back into the past ,unless they were sure the future will be different

Sadly unless the big boy comes out and explains the ultimatums we will never know.

We are the fans Peter as you so passionately remind us, FFS speak to us for some assurance.

I appreciate your optimism, but There's no incentive for them to come back to a role from which they were sacked a week ago. A temporary reprieve, where their power is now all gone. There's nothing that vlandys can say to get them back, other than don't worry that unprofessional mob won't be back

Many reports that the board has on the table a 2029 extension and are strongly considering it.

Look don't get me wrong, he deserves-ish 2026, He has till 2027 to prove something.
I am not sold on 2028 and suddenly were talking an extension till 2029!

Too much too soon.

exactly!! The board are trying to win back some PR and its a poor way of doing it. Lets see how he goes next year before any thought of an extension. Lets be honest no other clubs are chasing Benji to be coach why rush !! Only the stupid Tigers could do such a thing
