HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

I think we are discussing the same point but from slightly different angles.
Not much of this directly affects taking the field today, but HBG played with key foundations that absolutely impact the on-field team long term. Removing independent board members led directly to Richo leaving, which then created uncertainty around Benji’s position. That uncertainty flows straight into player retention and recruitment.
Add to that the constant off-field noise, and it becomes harder to attract quality people both on and off the field. You can say the team should be focused on next season — and they should — but eventually this sort of instability always leaks into performance.
HBG needs to be removed from any position where they can hamstring the NRL club. The football department needs continuity and space to build, not staff constantly looking over their shoulder.
Rip the band-aid off. End the joint venture. Bring in an owner who is focused on the Wests Tigers, top to bottom. One club. One direction. End the internal arguments once and for all.
If some people are still clinging to nostalgia — Watching the black and white in black and white, or black and gold on the hill — sorry, but that can’t come at the expense of the club’s future. For the greater good, it has to end.

Instead of condemning the message, you make an issue about her bringing it to light?
The message is typical of Wests attitude. BZN himself holds the same views.

Is this guy anyone with standing or is he just your average punter. Could just be someone crowing. Unless he has something to do with HBG then we have to ramp it up.

No maybe he put me on Ignore because I'm anti Magpies apparently.
Just a fanatical fan...no official capacity afaik

I don’t think that stops you from seeing his posts. I don’t agree with much he says, but I don’t think anything he says is grounds for permanent banning either. I think those sorts of bans should be in place for excessive abuse and/or threats. Not for someone who’s a windbag. He’s very easy to just either put on ignore or skip his posts entirely.

No mate. I see you when you are sleeping, I know when you’re awake. You know the rest.
Are you actually serious? That is a really nasty accusation to make, and completely untrue. I hope you will follow your own advice, and refrain from posting anything about the actions of either foundation club, nor your feelings about saud behaviour in future.

He's made plenty of inflammatory remarks before particularly anti semitic ones towards @cochise

Yeah deadly serious.
This has nothing to do with "the actions of either foundation club"
If your post had been offered up by a Magpies official (like Fallah, Epifania, Luibinskas, Cavanagh etc), or someone of note within the game - then sure it would have been a valid post.
But you picked an offhanded comment by some keyboard nufty as if that somehow represents the Western Subs. club. It was capital "T' tabloid.

Not every comment that doesn't agree with your viewpoint is an attack.
Are you not open to dissenting opinions?
Earlier you dragged me into this argument again by saying I wanted you removed as a moderator, despite the fact that I had said that wasn't true, I just disagreed with your validation of personal insults.
I'll add to that your "liking" of a poster making light of animal cruelty, which was just a touch deplorable.
As humans we are all subject to and should welcome constructive criticism and try to control our automatic reaction, which is to be defensive.
I'll say it again as you chose to ignore it previously, but I consider that you generally do a good job as a moderator. Maybe take a lesson from Demps and be more circumspect in your comments and posts you choose to like.

I love when people who on one hand preach for alternative opinions on here, a privately owned forum. But yet, argue against the democratisation of a public, members based institution in HBG.
The hypocrisy is hilarious.
P.s. I am not saying that opinions on here should be filtered, just pointing out the significant flaws in the argument by some!
