It’s not going to magically transform them into a successful side but it is embolic of the fact that, as a club, we can’t be get over the past and escape the continual infighting since we became a JV. We’re the Wests Tigers and our feeder clubs should reflect that. In my opinion having them...

I think M My thoughts exactly. Richo acted as a CEO and Director of Football in a sense and helped Benji assemble the roster and build depth in the club (improve depth at least). It’s going to be hard for any CEO to replicate both roles like Richo did and with Shaun’s impressive marketing and...

Great call. Apart from football expertise what Lawrence is integrity. Something this club has sorely lacked for the majority of our existence.

It’s not even just the reputational damage either. We’re in a such worse position than we were prior to this whole saga. HBG can now branch stack the Wests Tigers board and they’ve proven themselves completely incompetent at running an NRL club. We’ve lost Viola and Richo, HBG made a knee...

What an absolute flog.

I see him as worse than that based on some of the……more unsavoury things I’ve heard about him.

It shows you how tone deaf and reckless they really are. They thought they could sack the board and oust Richo with minimal backlash (seemingly). The story leaks about Benji being replaced, didn’t realise it would have a negative reaction so they leak a story about Benji being extended...

[This word has been automatically removed] this did me 😂. Thanks I needed that today.

Jesus Christ I just saw the three candidates for chairperson. God help us. The place is back to leaking like a [This word has been automatically removed]ing sieve. Under Richo and the independents everything was airtight and now stories get leaked, public backlash, club changes tact leaks another story……. Back to the good ol...

It’s definitely getting to him. He knows his beloved HBG and ol mate Denny Burgess are under pressure. lol the way he went at Joel there was incredibly petty and just childish 😂. Clutching at straws now but that’s not surprising coming from him. He’s completely and utterly incapable of...

This is the same board (along with the Fedora and Pascoe) who appointed Fulton without consulting Benji or Sheens with the simple aim of creating tension. I mean that was honestly the extent of the decision making process and strategy in that situation. They were unhappy with McDonnell so they...

This is a perfect summary. Thank you!

Such as?

Leaks have already started. It was airtight under the independents with only the HBG dramas being leaked. Now we’re hearing it’s Mestrov, and all this news coming out from insiders in the club.

I’ve seen him watching and supporting the Tigers at the pub a fair few times when we’re playing away games with a few friends. I’ve seen him a few times in the inner west doing this a few times; like you said dressed casually, low He’s a legitimate supporter and I don’t know him personally.

2016. The year before the board had two HBG members (Wests Ashfield) and three independent directors appointed by the NRL but prior to 2015 there was equal representation between Balmain and Wests Ashfield so the blame is really split equally amongst them hence the calls for an independent board...

Why the hell would you want Pascoe’s understudy after what he did to the Dragons. If anyone is appointed I hope it’s SM but I given it’s HBG would surprise me to see Webb or Mestrov appointed.

It’s not just class either, it’s strategic brilliance. The way he reiterated that every decision was unanimous and minuted, noting the two HBG reps on the board, the praise he gave the staff, and Benji, the reminder to V’landys on his commitment about protecting the Wests Tigers fans, even the...

People like him have no shame. They’re less than slime and he’s shown that by the who he’s chosen to align himself with. Dennis Burgess and the rest of the grubby debenture system holders.

Agreed they need to explain the rationale behind their decision but every time they’ve been asked to do so they haven’t. You would expect their chairperson and the HBG rep on the board to come out and say something, anything really. But all we get as fans is radio silence and wishy washy...
