@Tucker A young giant feral pig -but with brains. ie a massive threat to the NRL squad.

Shots from last weekend Members day young rooster mate and I attended. Stars met: Robbie Noddy Pole Galvin Harmony Crichton Tigers ground manager. Got things moving, good job. Parents of a couple of players happy to be there. All really engaging and kind. Best players watched: Zac Clarke...

If I’m going to be personally bullied on-line here for expressing an opinion about the club (which I’m a financial member of) I may as well leave. This is exactly why I left the wt forum at the other site. Out of the fire, into the frying pan. Thanks so much.

You too, for sure.

As for your appeal to authority and lived experience @Mighty_Tiger, fair enough, yes, I’m a 2ic now. And we put a lot of time into our staff on many different levels. We want them at optimum, and like a footy side, some respond better to some stimulus than others. Open door policy, no such...

At least 72 employees and your argument is that Richo shouldn’t find out what they are doing, how they are doing it and why? We’ve got the spoon! As for the steward, that’s a clear example of white line fever at executive level when one have thought our problems are far more urgent and...

Come on @Tucker, you’re a big boss with lots of peoples careers and lives in your hands. What did Vince do that deserved such priority at the highest and most esteemed levels of the club? Was he poisoning the Gatorade? Forgot a sock one day?

Obviously Richo should have resolved this before signing off on JL lol.

Richo: “ And before I actually find out from Benji what he thinks he needs to win games and before turning my mind to this trivial matter of employing a recruitment officer and delegated staff, the most pressing issue this club currently faces is the continued tenure of Vince the gear steward”...

I disagree. The board has the plan and vision and especially our ex board featuring an interventional Lee, keen to show the world who is boss. Richo can’t change what he doesn’t understand. His formative days at the club were spent learning about its operations. I am happy to confirm that with...

I think it’s much better for Richo to understand the challenges he is facing before rushing in like a bull in a China shop. He’s best served to get this background from many sources including Justin. It doesn’t mean he has to follow any pre-existing direction, or copy any old policy, but he...

Pascoe might know a few things about sponsors and what they like, contacts etc that could be helpful. That’s all.

If i was Richo, at risk of bad pr, I would have kept him on in some junior role, head in the books, ask him many questions about what he’s been doing, milk his knowledge of the club. So that the things he was doing well are preserved. I wouldn’t have him dealing with players or agents, no...

It’s not a matter of blaming anyone, it’s where the culpability ultimately lies. That rests with the board. They backed him, they own him. They decided to keep him and for some unknown reason believed in him. He’s not the offender here. He didnt manage or employ himself.

You’re arresting the wrong suspect. They controlled him, his shortcomings belong to them. They thought he was ok, not his fault. He was not all good but not all bad. I think that’s the most accurate portrayal.

Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all Sir.

The HB execs sacked the whole board.The people whose authority he was acting under. He went too. Prior to that, he was still in situ. He no doubt had a productive role in securing JL etc. You can paint him black and put some horns on him, but in my view, he’s got far less culpability for our...

They could have reigned him in or sacked him. Youve got the wrong bloke.

From a managerial perspective, he implemented the boards decisions. They have the responsibility, they failed, not Justin.

Yeah, I think the truth is that Justin was good at some things but not others and that probably goes for all of us. Richo gave him a small and almost unnoticed nod when he complimented the state our finances.
