He’s still chair of HBG.

Balmain fans might be able to rest easy but what about Wests Tigers fans Peter?

This is the crux of the issue. I remember when the podcasters interviewed one of the ousted HBG directors he mentioned this. Essentially HBG are simply doing their job and living their company values so long as they have control of wests tigers. Without this control I suspect they believe that...

From a financial and legal perspective is this actually correct? It would be the same for other NRL teams that are owned by leagues clubs though right?

Wow. Done pretty explosive allegations about HBG in that video.

Yes

Great post Charred

Also by saying “I wasn’t up to the job” and “I did my best” is hinting to PVL that there are issues beyond what one of the greatest club administrators in himself can even control.

I agree. I was devastated but after watching Richo’s video I’m convinced that his resignation is all part of the process. It’s an attempt to get PVL to act. Evidence of this includes saying “the fans know” when referring to whether PVL should act; he’s still using present tense when discussing...

I’d like to read the article first. Can someone post it. I was told that he’d be informing staff that he is leaving unless the NRL step in.

What if our players joined us in the march? Maybe they can refuse to play any matches unless the four independents are reinstated and Richo keeps his job. That would make the NRL act as it would impact their product and cause rumblings with the broadcasters.

The worrying thing for me when you listen to the song or you hear the statement from Paton, and also the statements from Laundy and PVL above. They think the majority of supporters want to hold onto Balmain and Magpies. But in reality the minority, including HBG want this. However, what they...

L&G probably can’t do anything about it but it’s possible the NRL can do something about it.

My guess is that’s the plan. If Wests Tigers can perform poorly and remain a laughing stock for just 4 more years then they can justify a rebrand to Magpies in 2030.

This saga reminds me of the plot of the 1989 film Major League. In that movie the team banded together to make the finals and save the franchise. Let’s hope our boys can do the same. Spoiler Alert… Major League (1989) plot summary: The owner, Rachel Phelps, wants the Cleveland Indians to...

Just listened to the claws out podcast from the other night. The message from Cochise to HBG at the end gave me chills. For anyone wanting to listen, its at the 43:29 minute mark (ie 3 minutes before the end of the podcast)...

I sent an email to the NRL off the back of a poster here encouraging us to do so. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a response: “Thank you for your email. We appreciate you sharing your views with us on this matter. The NRL is aware of the recent developments relating to the Wests Tigers...

Some build. Others, unable to build, simply take

Willie Mataka. Played 6 games of first grade from 2009 to 2010. Ended up winning MKR grand final.

Not happy 😡 Although with the 2 points it does mean we currently lead the competition and will continue to do so for the next 3 months 😊
