HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

hammertime said:

I dare say based on his interview benji was threatening to walk and they needed stability. Which they wouldnt have been in the position for if they didnt pull this dumb ass board removal in the first place.

We shouldn't critize the benji extension, thats unfair on benji. The original board sacking was the issue.

I don't think anyone is criticising Benji for signing it. People are definitely criticising the board for their knee-jerk reaction to the negative consequences of the board's ridiculous decision to dismantle a working system.

I mean, I think the knee jerk decision was needed. Benji may have walked, then the players. HBG and the club really would have been in an abyss.

So it was needed. But only needed because of their idiotic board removal.

The interim CEO said on SEN that it was a HBG Board + remanent WT Board (HBG/wests magpie/Balmain tiger) decision - no independent board members involved

In benjis interview. He mentioned that both he and HBG approached each other. He would have made demands.

So it was needed. But only needed because of their idiotic board removal.

A powerful load of nothing, hot air. I asked vic for clarification re the 'circumstances' ....and....crickets. You lovely little darlings love stirring the pot but simply will not reply with anything of substance. You have zero integrity. A waste of time.

If this uncertainty continues, it isn't difficult to imagine the NRL stepping into and revert the license to their ownership pending identification of a new owner. If that was the case, the new owner has to carry forward the name WTs and support Wests and Balmain in junior competitions but with WTs in NSW Cup.

I think it's fair to say that Richardson had no influence or control over who HBG appointed to represent them. The three that were originally ousted following the review - which recommended an independent board that they supported didn't last - and whatever Romero did wrong, it certainly resulted in her no longer holding her position - and I believe she is also banned.
Given Richardson's endorsement of her one can only wonder if that was enough to spell the writing on the wall. "A serious breach of confidentiality" - It seems it doesn't take much to get a 7 year ban if the numbers are against you. Some one out there knows.

I read a news item somewhere at the time that Romero had leaked to a journalist. It seemed odd (if true) that other members had not previously been suspended for the same thing? Difficult to apply any logic to HBG behaviour?

Rightly or wrongly it was a power grab due to a number of circumstances that led them to b peed off,
This is the part many people including yourself know is true, but for some reason do not want to acknowledge.
Removing the board members was wrong, but some of the circumstances that led to them making this type of irrational decision were also wrong.

Please enlighten us as to what the board members did to be removed. You've said it with such conviction it sounds like fact?
