He ignores anyone that provides any form of valid reasoning or logic.

Canterbury Leagues provided the Bulldogs with a $7.3m grant in 2024.
They don't own the Bulldogs though.

Who is Brisbanes reserve grade side. Whose Melbournes reserve grade side been for the last 25 years. Whose Newcastles - its pretty obvious thats its not a pre requisite for success that your reserve grade side should be the same name as the NRL side.

Shows you how tight our heroes are, how are we going to grow with that piddly handout.
You should see the one about the Wests Tigers launch of the CoE at WSU!!

There is a difference between a joint venture and a merger. A JV is formed so that both parties remain as independent entities rather that one new entity. The JV probably should have been dissolved when Balmain went belly up and the single entity being Wests Tigers should have been reinvented with a whole new constitution and governance.

You can't acknowledge what i said can you - even though you are wrong.
Are either of those joint ventures?

Not my logic, it's the logic of all the HBG dinosaurs. If HBG throw in the cash the claim is as 90% owner they can do as they please. I clearly showed even by your numbers HBG chip in about 1.5 million a year. If you think the ammount HBG have been chipping in is close to what other leagues clubs and owners are your mistaken. It is no secret all owners of the Tigers not just HBG have left the Tigers running on the smell of an oily rag from day dot. We have always been underfunded. Plenty of people has discussed it it's not new news.

You mean the dog guy.
I'm not sure who you mean? I'm talking about a WM person complaining that there weren't any Magpies in a wests tigers launch.
So what are we saying, even if 2026 is a successful season, we hear of no further boardroom issues, Wests Tigers finally make the top 8, we will still have some supporters unhappy and threatening not to support Wests Tigers just because our reserve grade team is called Wests Msgpies ?
Anyone who fits that description is not a true supporter.

One question makes it easier to answer.
No I don’t believe all Wests Ashfield members or HBG debenture holders of HBG board members wanted to dismiss the Wests Tigers independent board members.
I am very confident the vast majority of Wests Ashfield members who have no say in the matter, but closely follow Wests Tigers would have much preferred it never happened.
As for the HBG debenture holders and board members, I don’t have any concrete evidence on this, but like most other boards there is always going to be internal power struggles and disagreements and I don’t believe all were in favour of dismissing the Wests Tigers independent board members.

Forgotten the name of the guy but his avatar was a picture of a dog or maybe that was just a representation of his character. 🐶
The ‘extremist’ in this case just happens to be a director of HBG though.
Supposedly with the interests of WestsTigers as his priority.
You think those words reflect that?
So they lied when they said it wasn't about the jersey... it was about communicating
If a jersey that sells out in a few weeks of release is a misjudgemnt then i dunno what their priorities are
People constantly bring up the money HB tip in... but if mercandise going gangbusters and helping in us making a profit as in this year... then why is it a misjudgement, id have thought they'd be pleased with that outcome
Almost a copy of 2005 jersey. Just maybe - without knowing - it was to engage the fans and look forward to a season of success like it was in 2005. It didn't seem to go unnoticed by the fans and if jerseys are made to sell - it being an issue with the board then once again they have made asses of themselves.
I personally don’t have an issue with the jersey. I’m assuming we have an alternate jersey with plenty of black in it ? I don’t really know and I don’t really care.
However put yourself in the shoes of a 90% shareholder who’s history is represented by the colours black and white.
Common sense tells you that if plans were being made to have the main playing jersey, being the home jersey as predominantly orange, you would think maybe I need to run this past and have a discussion with the 90% shareholders before making it official.
Quite obviously they didn’t want to have a hard discussion with the 90% shareholders about it, so thought it was better to hide it from them before the official release.
Highly likely it was a similar story with plans to no longer have Wests Magpies as our NSW Cup team.
Highly likely it was a similar story with the 15 year deal with Leichhardt Oval.
Highly likely it was a similar story with paying well above the average market value for the services provided by Enriched.
The good news is I’m 💯 confident Shaun Mirkenkamp won’t hide anything and will communicate and have the hard discussions when required.

There was a debenture holder at the rally.
