I saw Richo as our final hope. Even if there is another CEO of equivalent talent, surely they’re not walking into this imbroglio.

It’s a waste of time Hammer. These Magpie people have been in a bad mood since 1963. When legendary Jack Gibson walked into the shed and told the team..”if anyone has backed us to win today call your booky and lay it off. My booky just told me that Lawler has backed the Dragons.” Dragons won the...

It’s definitely worth a try. For 2 years now I have refused to allow any of my money to flow toward the club, a boycott of sorts. I’ve been to only one game and that was an away game.

Thanks for explaining that Terri gal. So “Balmain People” is distinct from “Balmain fans” I suppose the Balmain people represent a much greater number than the Balmain fans. I suppose you and BNZ are more conscious of the greater number of Balmain people who are perhaps attracted by the Tiger...

With the quality players he had only managed to scrape into the 8 once from 3 seasons. Then managed to lose DCE. If we lose Richo we’ll be a distant last. These $100 debenture holders should never be in positions of authority.

I hope I don’t have to make that decision. However, I’m thinking it would need to be a well organised team with solid back office, maybe Broncos? I do like their coach.

BZN, sorry to be the one to enlighten you mate, but you’re suffering from a deeply ingrained paranoia. There are no Balmain fans that I’ve noticed on here during the last 5 years. Doesn’t the magpies have a social media platform?

If they do get Metrov in I hope he doesn't try playing politics with the jersey. It caused a lot of upheaval at Manly and left Hasler to handle the media frenzy before sacking him. Anyway, Wests Tigers is losing its popularity now that Richo is getting punted for doing a good job, particularly...

That’s right, the 20 debenture holders are creditors with limited liability. Probably limited to $100? So they can misbehave without fear of retribution.

I admire your enthusiasm for change, but getting rid of burgess is only continuing the poor behaviour of the organisation. The real panacea as I see it is to restructure the way HBG board is selected, and I can’t see that happening for the next decade or 2?

Barnier didn’t charge a fee for enlightening the HBG board of this, so its value to those board members was predetermined. Something they already knew wasn’t what they wanted, but they played along to settle the fans. I wasn’t convinced at the time that HBG was fair dinkum about the review and...

Anyone got the DT story of the HBG director with explicit photos? Sounds a lot like they got the story from this thread 😂

“In order to take back control and have the ability to reconstitute the board, the only lever the Holman Barnes Group had to pull was to remove the four independent board members,” chief executive Daniel Paton told The Sydney Morning Herald.

I thought this issue had previously been discussed with Richo and HBG. Resulting in Richo becoming more arms length from what is now his son’s business. It’s laughable for ‘an anonymous whistleblower’ to call it in at this time. We all questioned the value (and nepotism) in hiring Inglis to...

Well you worked it out. LOL I was referring to a possible reaction he may have and how if numbers are up then there's nothing for PVL to get involved in.

It’s gonna take a lot of internal strength after being without any footy during a long offseason?

Richo was constantly espousing the need to have a WT board independent but reporting to the HBG board. His mantra was consistent..’what HBG do is and should be of no concern to us, they are seperate and have other responsibilities’ constantly repeated after each HBG public brawl and sacking or...

Hopefully he will shine a light on some organisational issues which are putting some lead in our saddle bags.

PVL has stated that his main “concern is for the fans.” If game attendances remain high then the NRL will probably cheer on HBG for a job well done.
