The funds part isnt needed if the club is running a profit. Just get rid of balmain TBH.

Yeah, I dont think JC understood the situation well. This isnt a balmain conflict thing, theyre gone. But he still got to the right conclusion.

Even ashfield or hbg members mate. 2 out of the 3 guys who were kicked off were the 2 elected reps and it was clear which way they voted. Just extrapolate that out.

Not sure. I think their frequency # is distributed along with senior citizen cards.

Let's not make this a Wests v Tigers thing. It's a board competency and governance problem, despite what Lee says. There's a reason why that bloke still wears a fedora and trenchcoat inside - he can't read a room.

They are not owners man. The club members are. These entrenched squatters holding cheap ass debentures are not held accountable and not acting on behalf of their members or the club. Why do people keep calling these $100 debenture holders owners?!

Not good ones with the stare this club is in.

Bring the game into disrepute. The owners structure at hbg is also undemocratic and this wont stop until that is changed. They have enough evidence now to force reform at the ownership level.

I like Read again. Well summed up

Either way, it would be truly member-focused, which is all you can really ask. The fact that this kind of structure can persist in a democratic society in a member-based non-profit entity boggles the mind. It's been a true eye-opener around flaws with our regulations and the bodies that...

I honestly don't think most people care about the colour of the jersey and if this is a real sticking point, then it truly shows how much of a sh1tshow we are.

Even if the magpies were to return, the same problems would still be there. Even more so if they haven't got any guardrails in terms of sensibility in running a business. The NRL isn't going to grant that when HBG have shown time and time again that they couldn't manage their way out of a...

Those directors own nothing. They are a board of squatters, not representing their members effectively. They need to start acting like an effective non-profit with proper governance. To misdiagnose the problem as "well, they are the owners" is misleading. They are representatives and need to...

While i agree with you, there are two on the board so they would have had visibility and its supposed to be independant anyway. We can't move quick if things are decided through multiple committees. What other organisations work like that? None. I honestly think a black would look good too...

Thanks pacey. Ive done it. All - just please flood them about using the license terms. It may not too much, but gotta try what angles we can.

The thing that really riles me up is when we call these guys owners. They do not own anything or are elected by their members. They've forced their way into ownership. These guys are deadset squatters. Nothing more.

Pretty sure HBG own Balmain Leagues Club now...

Depends on the agreement that they formed. Sounds like HBG put a lot of catches in there.

The only way that HBG can be removed is probably - The debenture holders come to their god damn senses and implement proper governance at HDB (unlikely) - NSW L&G sees the dysfunction at the board level, step in and do the above. - If there is a court case for the 3 removed directors, it ends...

He probably took one look at the HBG board profile and gone... "yeah, nup"
