HBG’s fault, but contributed to by things done that not done with integrity and then further fueled by not wanting to compromise on certain topics such as Wests Magpies remaining as the feeder team.
HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Oh no, I did quote the right post.
Cochise asked you who's fault it was that it was going to cause an uproar, and you failed to answer it as that answer clearly would have been HBG which you don't want to lay complete blame on, despite in this case, and basically all of the cases it being 100% their fault. Instead you went with the personal attack to deflect from the answer.

My friend. I'll spare you a bollocking, because I am sure you have made an honest error.
Please the go and read the last 10 to 15 posts I have made and I'll sit here quietly waiting for your apology.
Ok yes, I do actually apologise fully, too many attacks on people for the purpose of just causing drama in here all bleeds into one after a while. Yours just happened to read like it in the moment.
Happy to go along that you are in agreement with those who are blaming HBG for the problems at the moment.
Go back and read this post of yours. If you believe this was the HBG decision making process and they were not aware of the $1.5m payout (which you have been going on and on about to bag Richo), how could you possibly be arguing with people questioning HBG and wanting change.
This would just prove how bad the HBG Board are.
Just cannot understand your logic.

Strongly agree HBG is the problem at the club. Was joking about the apology, but appreciate it anyway.
I think Vicious is the man you wanted.
The ashfield leagues club owners are hopeless mate unsure your angle in sticking up for them
There a decade of failure have you listen to marina go recent podcast where she expressly said all board member contribute is whinging about theres too much orange in the jersey?
Its a stain on the NRL that there is ownership like this continues in the game. She even made a comment big clubs in sydney individual with large control of the club wanted her gone just because she was female and they didn't want the NRL to make them have a female on their board. PVL is a toss
Every single board meeting bunch of old tossing sitting around complaining about a magpie and the colour orange can you imagine its very sad

At least they still exist in some form> Its funny how i don't remember ever seeing any of this vitriol towards Wests Magpies when Balmain Tigers were fielding a team - there were no calls for a combined reserve team called Wests Tigers back then. If you are so pro Wests Tigers as you say you are why do you even care if Wests Magpies exists. Comes across as a giant sook that if Balmain Tigers don't exist anymore then Wests Magpies shouldn't exist either. Grow up and stop carrying on like a 2 yr old.
Nah the apology was warranted.
Quite possibly, too many currently, all with seemingly the same motive or actions. Feels like the one person with multiple accounts at times.
Don’t blame me

This is the same attitude that runs through HBG.

There have been calls for a Wests Tigers reserves team for over 10 years. This is not a new phenomenon.

Vicious how do you have all this energy to defend these people you don't even know. Hours and pages on end.

You really just waffle on for the sake of it - there has been 1 year there was a Wests Tigers reserve grade side and it was immediately after Balmain Tigers demise. It lasted 1 year and reverted back to Wests Magpies. The calls to have reserve grade named Wests Tigers have been since then.

Actually we were Wests Tigers in NSW Cup from 2013-2017. Once Magpies got majority ownership in 2015 or 16 I can’t remember exact they decided to go back to Magpies in 2018. I don’t know the exact reason why we were still WT in NSW Cup for a couple years when Magpies became majority owners. Maybe the agreement was until then I don’t know exactly. But we should be WT in Cup it’s been long enough.
