HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

It was reported somewhere in the media, I don't have a link,
to bring in an administrator.
But isn't bloody obvious how they flipped so quickly, you can't see it.

I don't know. It's possible.

The current make up of the board, post PVL, also suggests that PVL didn't exactly grind them into the dirt either.

It'll come out in time, I imagine. But it still feels like speculation is being mistaken for facts.

It's widely reported. The NRL wanted the board reinstated. Viola has declined leaving a seat open which was subsequently filled by an HBG rep...

We can speculate on the make-up of the board if he accepted the invitation to return. That for mine is the only point of speculation.

Other than that, there's no doubt the decision to bring them back was insisted upon by the NRL. You have to ask yourself, what option is left for the NRL if HBG didn't agree? The decision to backflip suggests what HBG agreed to is a far better deal than what the NRL alternative was if they had not agreed to bring them back.

Either that or sacking people and bringjng them back 10 days later is totally normal. I don't know...what information are you refuting exactly? It seems like unless you get a full transcript of the discussion that transpired, your default position is that any logical conclusion is "speculation" yet credence is given to explanations that are of no or low probability.

The hill you've chosen to die on is a dangerous one, because you'll need to preface every logical statement you make with "I'm just speculating" if you don't have irrefutable evidence you can produce.

We don't actually know who all the new board members are going to be, don't get a shock if there is NRL representation added, that will clear up if there was some kind of pressure to wake up to themselves.

Wests Tigers board member quits amid "sexually explicit" Instagram expose​

“No-one has forced me out, it’s my decision," he told News Corp. “That Instagram page is a relic from my old music life.
“I haven’t touched it since 2017.
“To be clear, I wasn’t ever steering it – someone helping with promotions was driving the account and they likely followed just about everyone to boost the profile.
“Yeah sure, it really should’ve been a generic music handle rather than me, but to me it’s long since been forgotten.
“I wouldn’t say I was hacked, in the technical sense of the word. But I’ve sure been blindsided by it because I was not in control of it.
“At the end of the day, people have jumped on it and weaponised it for their own reasons.”

Can't even own up to his gooning. Come on man just wear your pervert badge.
 
What I’d do for Round 2, if you want to make headlines. March down Mary Street, gather around, say what you want to say, then turn and leave and not even go to the game.

I think the make-up is clear, however I would suggest the decision to return by BOF and co is to act as the eyes of the NRL at the club.

Make no mistake. BOF is a good operator and has friends in high places compared to the mugs that run our club, so my view is that this is an oversight position which is one step away from officially appointing an NRL administrator.

The NRL can't afford to have us embarrass ourselves every year or two. From their point of view, the 18M They give us each year is an investment to the area and rugby league. They're not going to allow that to be pissed up against the wall.

Has it been confirmed that the independent that didn't want to come back is to be replaced by another HBG Einstein.

Maybe you can enlighten me on what my agenda is. All I want is Wests Tigers to become a consistently top 8 side. I don't give a shit about all the infighting but would definitely like to see the debenture rubbish gone and the full HBG board to be solely elected by members. I was happy that WT had finally become independent and pissed off like everyone else on here that hbg did what they did.

I didnt say you had an agenda, I was just remarking about the comment you made of people "ramming their agendas down people's throats".

A lot of the magpies hatred towards Wests Tigers came from what Sheens did - stacked Balmain with NRL players and let Wests run with park footballers. Some of the scores against them were atrocious. Balmain put 88 and 76 on them. They had 50+ put on them 18 times and had a differential of minus 1100. And then you wonder why Wests see themselves as disrespected in the JV

He did it because he wanted a single reserve grade side and they refused, so he stacked one of the sides. The "other side" would always have been justified to complain.

But Sheens was vindicated, we won the comp.

Mate the dude is a fake. He has a fake and made up identity. And even that fake and made up identity is a joke. He's beyond crap as a musician. He had a 2 week top 10 hit in the 60s, and recordeded one song in the 70s with his brothers band that didn't even chart.

I admire his rat cunning, but he's a loser. He's been involved in WT boardroom politics for 20 years. The dude likes to live in his little made up rockstar cosplay like he was a legit star. That self delusion scares the sh1t out of me, because if he is happy to make the idiotic deciision to wear that Wig, he's just as happy to sack the best CEO in the business just as we're about to lock down some key players.

You know it is entirely possible to live in a world where we kept Tedesco and Moses, because this herpes riddled parrot and his cohort weren't leaking and sacking coaches every 18 months! It took him no time for the same behaviour to return once he became chair.

Rally was great! Love the idea of a “ tigers unite” fan association.
If we get 20,000 fans registered under a organised fans association, it will truly amazing the influence we will have over any one individual or organised group that is trying to sabotage our club for their own agendas.
