HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

I see your point but agree to disagree , I did have a business and I did sponsor teams ( St Clair ) Penrith area , it was about 16 years ago and I paid $ 1500 for the under 12 team sponsorship , just so the kids could keep their jersey at the end of the year no matter where they finished , I did it as they had no sponsor , could we afford it at the time , it was boarder line , probably no , but I did it for the kids , Wests Tigers can afford to do it for a trial no issue , 1 game , it’s for the kids , our future players possibly ,

Well done 426, it’s never easy running a small to medium business with an ALP government, so you did well to find the donation.
The promotion and retention of juniors should always be a strong Wests Tigers focus.
It’s great to see the “back to the juniors” program still going since it started early 2023. Well done Botille, Shane and Benji.

Darcy told big fat porkies and yet across the forum, it’s hardly caused a ripple of discussion.

What we’re you saying about sycophants and doing no wrong ?

Darcy is an idiot. Stupid bloody statement without checking facts. He's got to pick the right battles, and get it right.

You can't be calling out the lack of professionalism and competency from HBG, and then go and demonstrate the same flaws

I dont think he intentionally lied on the actual ticket prices, but trying to attribute the blame to HBG for setting his imaginary prices revealed a bloke way out of his depth.

Remembering that it was less than two months ago when the majority of WT forum spruikers had Darcy leading them out of the abyss and into the promised land 🙄

Man, how do people keep making this about the magpies? Tin foil hat stuff.

So why say he told big fat porkies?

Agenda...theyre everywhere

The reason was then removed from the website and the directors offered their place back. Yep rock solid reason..

The HBG is the reason fan feel disillusioned with their leadership atm. Instead of acknowledging that disillusion then send out their minions to attack the fans.

These guys are weak leaders of our club.

I'm not suggesting their reasons are right or wrong.

Only that we are not actually certain of what has transpired. I think the proof people are claiming can only happen in time.

Not being funny, BUT....

Couldn't that be exactly the same argument used for HBG's actions in removing the board?

History is part of time mate, HBG has no trust from a lot of people and that lack of trust is deserved. So instead of actually trying to rectify that they attack the people who rightfully distrust them.

The club does plenty for the community, but don't they also discount tickets quite heavily for a family of four?

it's not in a form that makes you comfortable, but it is a form of subsidy toward kids no?
 
We wouldn't be talking about this at all if they stuck to the plan - but we never know from one season to the next who or what is motivating their decisions because none of them appear to be in the best interest of the club or the fans.
The last thing fans want is more hostility at board level and unstable governance.
Impossible to believe anything that is being sold because there is a good chance the person selling it won't be there for long.
The old Wests people get on the defensive, and the critics get accused of having Balmain allegiance when in fact the majority just want better.
This is all self inflicted by those who are entrusted to be the advocates for the club. They treat the role as some God given rite instead of a privilege.
You are either acting in the best interest of WTs or you are not, and too many decisions have the stench of self interest ahead of what's best for the club.

I think it's a part of it for some people though. I mean HBGout is about getting rid of wests magpies.
And have a look at people wanting Laundy to buy the club. Would they be as keen if he was magpies fan rather than a balmain fan?
There's dinosaurs from both the original clubs here.

It would appear the majority who want HBG to act for the benefit of Wests Tigers are Wests Tigers fans. They don’t want Balmain Tigers back, they don’t want Wests Magpies back.
HBG doesn’t seem to align with this thinking.

You are the one defining an agenda as anyone with an alternate opinion. I am not. Tucker has plenty of opinions different to other posters but they are fluid, depending on the discussion. He doesn't have an agenda. He isn't highlighting every mistake certain people make and isn't trying to muckrake.

Darcy hasn't disadvantaged the club over and over. He has been able to choose a direction and stick with it. I reckon very, very few on here care what he says or does, frankly, except for those he has spoken out about, who, unsurprisingly, seem to have tried make an issue out of it.
