I can only see one way forward for the Wests Tigers & it must happen now!
HBG needs to convene a private forum which includes HBG, Wests Magpies, Balmain Tigers, the remaining independent directors, Shaun Mielekamp and importantly a representation of the fans/members of the club (a rep of WT Unite & maybe an additional 1-2 from the existing Fan Rep Group that the club already consults with - click here.
1 - Each party need to resolve & accept that the Wests Tigers is one club and the legacy of both Wests Magpies & Balmain Tigers must be respected. Each party must resolve to STOP any slander, media leaks etc pushing any historic agenda otherwise accept to face sanction.
2 - In this forum each party has the opportunity to present what its expectations are from their position (i.e. so the fan reps get to hear what HBG expectations are of its 90% stake etc & vice versa) and questions can be asked of each party.
If HBG are serious about a 'one club' future, they will do this. There needs to be an understanding & respect moving forward between all parties.
I'm sick and tired of all this sh*t as everyone is. The only way to stop it is to get all parties together in a respectful manner to thrash it out in the one room asap.
I've put in request to speak to Shaun Mielekamp and I'll be telling him this and I reckon he's the type of fan-focused CEO who would already be thinking of this himself.
@cochise @Joel Helmes keen to hear your thoughts on this given you're both on the Fan Rep Group & doing a great job with WT Unite?
PS. I wouldn't expect a resolution immediately at the end of the forum but a forum like this can result in an in-principle agreement to work towards in terms of governance & communication.

Its a bit hard to have peace when Magpies directors are telling WTs supporters to F off
Seems the Magpies dont want peace
Not very respectful is it?

Balmain brings the passion and intensity of a very loyal fan base,and will support through adverse times
As a consequence of numerus financial mismanagements by Balmain ,Wests Magpies happen to be the last man standing and feel they can rule the club..
but currently contribute about 10% of total revenue to WTs.....Nrl contributes the rest
So tail is wagging the dog IMO

To add...I think it's important to understand what exactly respecting the legacy of Balmain/Wests means in practical terms. This is a vaguery that is all too easy to point to and creates circular arguments as it means different things to different people.
Great idea very good idea 👍

At the end of the day, they aren’t selling. Richo is gone. Don’t see where any significant changes are coming from, regardless of how many rallies there are.

Wo,hoo
That's very wishful thinking.
Now if they appointed a 'good' Administrator, i.e. Shane Richardson or maybe Brian Canavan we could see something.
What I would suspect, is that other teams would argue to appoint our administrator. So:
A friend who needs a job
Someone who wouldn't grow the opposition.
Ian Schubert comes to mind as such a person. We would tank, tank hard.

Brent Read is not Balmain or Wests aligned and gave his opinion...how would you explain his comments about the leadership at HBG? What's his agenda?
What about other journos? What about PVL? Why is the league concerned with the management of the club yet you are shocked at why the same sentiment is shared here?
