Oh I don’t think that’s accurate at all.
But yes let’s let others decide.
Btw this isn’t about winning apart from on-field results for Wests Tigers.
Pity others don’t take that view.
Oh obviously very factual and I’m sure not connected to HBG in any way whatsoever despite you knowing how many pokie machines were acquired in the merger, where they are now situated and how many were sold.
yeah but they did.
And I’m meant to care because?
I support Wests Tigers and you keep throwing this Balmain history at me like I was responsible for it?
Honestly why should I care?
We have a club. It’s called the Wests Tigers and it’s been around for 25 years.
For all intents and purposes the Magpies and the Balmain Tigers are dead.
You know what would stop the Balmain vs Magpies crap? Good leaders on the board of Wests Tigers that aren’t aligned to the Magpies, Balmain...
I’ll accuse you of it because that is exactly what you’re doing.
Stop with the lies now. I saw your advocate for us to be called the Bushrangers 😂.
Any real Wests Tigers fan would not be advocating for a complete identity change.
If you don’t want to destroy the club stop with the Wests vs...
Yeah I’m well aware Clayton Utz lawyers act for HBG. Julie Romero cc’d them into her email to Barry O’Farrell when she halted the Wests Tigers board from meeting.
If that is true (which I very much doubt btw) then I guess there’s nothing to worry about from HBG perspective right?
Did I say...
Both Balmain and Magpies died as NRL/First grade sides in 1999.
Keep clinging to the past.
It’s time for everyone to accept that, move on from the bs factional infighting and embrace the Wests Tigers.
Anyone hoping to see either Balmain or the Magpies in the NRL again truly has rocks in their...
We don’t care what the impetus was we just want to see good governance practices implemented at both Wests Tigers and HBG.
I’m pretty sure the many of the others who signed the petition share my sentiments but I think it’s a great thing Liquor and Gaming are involved and investigating...
I wouldn’t say it was gifted. It was in exchange for the assets Balmain owned namely the Rozelle site but splitting hairs here really aren’t we?
Fact of the matter is Balmain own 10% so that was an accurate answer to the question.
7 member board with an independent chair, 3 other independents with skills relevant to overseeing a successful NRL club, one Balmain appointed rep, one HBG appointed rep, and one Western Suburbs Magpies Rugby League Football Club rep.
Darcy nailed it there.
The statement was made to distract and deflect. There are still major and ongoing concerns about the unfairness of the debenture system.
There’s also no member elected board members now the only two on the HBG board have been suspended.
The statement is full of weasel words too. They can say the Holman Barnes Group haven’t discussed bringing back the Magpies but we know Burgess has made those statements. It’s interesting HBG and Denny boy haven’t come out and stated otherwise or refuted those claims.
Also the point they...
The leaked emails were posted by SMH. Both the objection to the review and the email to O’Farrell.
Completely agree with keeping the pressure on. Both her and Burgess will be feeling the heat now.
Pissweak and hollow response from HBG. Nothing of note or substance and you can easily poke holes in those ‘Facts.’
Firstly everyone is aware that Julie’s email was dated Dec 2023 raising concerns about the review process. The issue isn’t the date but the contents. It’s alarming that a Wests...
Wayde isn’t blameless in the Wests Tigers fiasco but I think he showed some genuine concern for the club in undertaking the review and endorsing the recommendations.
That alone shows that he can act in the best interest of the club and is capable of reason.
Plus he did save the Magpies in the...
