Funny that. An official statement issued by the General Manager of the Western Suburbs RLFC being about the Western Suburbs RLFC. Who’d have thought 🤪

Agree, HBG dragged their heels when considering BOF for chair, because they were unsure of his level of independence.

If only we could return to those glory years of 2013-2016 when the Reserve Grade team was named “Wests Tigers” and all was right with the world. The club was powering along back then without those dreaded Magpie jerseys clogging up the pathways.

It’s always good to have the input of a magpies fan.

Why follow the recommendations? To avoid a backlash from fans
Why blow it up later? To gain back control. Maybe if we do it before Christmas no one will notice.

That was at a time when the board was heavily stacked with magpies, Balmain defaulted on a loan and the board increased from 7 to 9 members. A lot going on.

Why follow the recommendations at all if only to blow it up later on?
We came last 3 years in a row Chad. The fans revolted after years of no success on and off the field.
HBG had no political capital left to argue their case. We were a laughing stock.
The moment the heat died down, they manufactured a "communication" crisis to purge the independent voices.
The review was even dismissed as "opinion, not fact" by Romero and co. Leaked emails show she "had grave concerns" about the review being rushed. She even threatened legal action (Clayton Utz were the firm I believe) against BOF if he dared hold a board meeting without her present or her approval.
Everything was just tolerated until they could regain control. They never wanted independence. You only need to read Fallah and Epifanias Facebook posts to understand the mindset.
But here's where your argument doesn't stack up to the slightest bit of scrutiny. If they had some legitimate reason to be unhappy about the communication or conduct of the independent directors, why not replace them? Why reclaim total power if they were committed to honouring the review findings?

The only you're right about is Epifania and Fallah are nufties. There is some small hope for you.
Four weeks ago we were satisfied with a CEO considered one of the best in the game - no prior allegiance to either Wests / Balmain - getting things done with an independent board working together for Wests Tigers.
No one was talking about going back anywhere.
And yet you continue to have a crack at people who are filthy at the situation we are in now while coming to the defence of those who put us here.

I’m sure HBG can achieve further dramas between now and then

Everyone making circular arguments...the proof of incompetence is there for all to see straight from the statement HBG delivered...so what is it, the board are rubbish so we sacked them? (then re-instated them) Richo is corrupt so we endorsed him? We sacked the board so Richo would resign because he was not corrupt enough for us to sack him, he was doing his job, however we got upset about a few decisions he made so we sacked the board......there is no 4th, 5th, 6th or whatever chance we are now up to as justification to leave these guys in charge. That horse bolted years ago. (BTW the video statement is still live online if you use the link....again...incompetence)

My point exactly.

Plenty on here have been talking about "going back" to a Wests Ts NSW Cup team - which was what my answer was addressing.
And yes, I'll have a crack at the unhinged, bigots who seem to think that anything associated with wearing black & white is akin to supporting the Stasi.
Get a grip people - Its Christmas time ... Joy to the World etc etc
"Fellow clansmen".. We are a Wests Tigers supporters forum, anything else is in your head.
Instead of pointing fingers at what Suzie didn't do, why didn't YOU post the official statement? Why didnt YOU do something productive?
I don't know Suzie from a bar of soap.. but you have attacked someone who helps keep this forum running; I assume without any pay... She is entitled to her opinion as much as the next person, moderator or not.
If you don't like what your fellow magpie tragics are doing, then YOU call them out... Be someone who proves to that Wests Tigers fans shouldn't taint you all with the same brush..
You're lack of action and acknowledgement of the problem, is part of the problem.
And for the record, I'd never waste a cream bun on you.
Love it..
@Vicious , I'll keep it to one question to make it easy for you.
Why did HBG publicly support Richo if he and his family are criminals?

Yeah 100%. Either they are lying about richo, or that they've had an issue at the board but reinstated the directors.
Or.... this is a pure power play focused on their own egos.
Either one of these angles suggests they are incompetent, lying or just plain naracists doing the wrong thing by the club and members.

I DID POST the official statement (keep up)
We have been wearing Black and White for 25 years they are our colours. The colour that seems to be the one that people have a problem is not black or white.
