Tell us more about your experience LT? What is your estimate of crowd number? Was the crowd well behaved? Why would Balmain paraphernalia be divisive?

Exactly! We’ve heard this before many times. It’s really tragic that the club has burnt so many good people in the process, including admin staff, coaching and players. A trail of destruction.

FP, What I don’t understand is why do Wests Magpies feel that they weren’t strongly represented on the Wests Tigers board? Did they not have more numbers than Balmain? But that’s not enough is it? It’s those scoundrel independents who need to see things through black & white glasses.

The debenture system may have been a good idea 70 years ago, but there’s more money at stake now that the NRL is covering the lions share of costs, and clubs are more profitable. It’s time for change.

Under the proposed new rules we’ll always have a 7 on the bench.

That’s not to say that he made another statement like yours with a similar meaning.

Yes he did say it . It stuck in my mind, could not stop thinking about what he’d said because he convinced me that he and Pascoe were not to be relied upon for anything but doing what they were told to do.

$1.7m? That’s about the same level of funding HBG earmarks for Wests Magpies?

I had to check with AI to see if my memory wasn’t accurate. Here’s what the bot said… “It seems you are referencing a specific, potent quote attributed to Lee Hagipantelis, likely during his tenure as the Wests Tigers chairman. That phrase, "we are here at the behest of the owners," speaks...

Yeh, probably wouldn’t matter how big a stick and carrot he carries, the usurpers are very comfortable in the knowledge that it’s easy to sack people and wind back their work. I don’t understand why so many on here criticised the performances of Pascoe and Hagipantelis. The very reason they had...

Which position? WT director? Magpies chair? HBG chair? debenture holders?

Let’s face it? If you’re PVL in this moment, you’d have one question on your mind..what would convince HBG Magpies to commit to organisational development? If he can’t find the answer to that question, then it’s more of the same.

Haha, the only difference this time is that Balmain have not uttered a word.

Who actually sacked the 4 Wests Tigers independent board members? Was it any of the Magpies board? Wests Magpies Board Members The current board members are: Dennis Burgess (Chairman) - HBG Appointed Stephen Montgomery - HBG Appointed Vince Tropiano - HBG Appointed Mick Liubinskas - HBG...

My understanding is that the ARL /NRL own the brand “Wests Tigers” which must give them some rightful intervention powers, like they showed in 2014 by appointing a couple of board members. When PVL has sufficiently researched this latest imbroglio I believe he could appoint administrators, in...

I don’t doubt that. Even the ex magpie players are ok in my book. But that’s not the point is it?

Yes Romero was suspended October 25 for a serious breach. I hope they continue to suspend themselves. 😜

Known debenture holders include: Peter DiMichiel (Chairman) Dennis Burgess (Chairman, also a Director of Wests Tigers) Kevin Hammond Daniel Lane Clare Burgess Fiona Shand Russell Smith Brian Cook Mick Liubinskas Scott Beynon Paul Marsh Allan Fallah (Appointed recently) Leo Epifania (Appointed...

That was a very interesting point made by Richo. As such can we assume that Burgess, Stapleton and Montgomery were ok with the level of orange on the new Jersey? However, when the jersey was seen by other HBG directors well thats when they saw red.

As sad as this situation has become, if you’re playing pokies at Ashfield or buying a membership then you’re part of the problem. It’s such a shame that good people have to do this stuff to get some action Joel.
