In club land, "amalgamation" is just another word for "take over". Wests and Balmain Leagues clubs did indeed "amalgamate". All Balmain members were invited to become a member of Wests Ashfield, and at the end of the "amalgamation", Balmain were dissolved. Take Over is such a dirty...

Can I correct this statement. Simon Cook, then CEO of Wests Ashfield (HBG) agreed to call the new leagues club "Wests Tigers Club - Balmain" I will be interested to see what naming convention the new management team decide to take with the new premises. The "Tigers at The Markets" was changed...

I appreciate this is answering a post from a few weeks back.... but its for John to decide if he wants to be part of the club. I like John, he is a lovely guy. But he moved out to Mudgee (somewhere like that) some time ago, and is living his life in retirement. He no longer needs to be involved...

They dont need to mention Wests Tigers in the constitution explicitly. Section 10 of the Constitution lays out the objects for which the (HBG) club are established for. Section 10 (b) states: To assist generally in the promotion conduct and propagation of Rugby League football in the Rugby...

Yes. Some don't understand how finance companies work. The $2.5b is owned by other people/organisations etc

And yet it was laughed at here. (go back and read the comments)

I'm just waiting for the "where is the independant review of the internal review" question.... 5...4...3...2.......

I posted on here a couple of weeks ago a suggestion of doing something similar - and was routinely ridiculed by the vocal minority. Its a very popular scenario across europe and never been done here. In the UK they are generally an independant body, not run by the club but have access to the...

Financial Manager, Commercial Manager, Sports Person (and lawyer) and ex Politician. Good mix I would say.

Wests Tigers posted on their website this morning a list of new directors: https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2025/01/15/wests-tigers-complete-board-transformation-with-four-independent-directors/ (copied direct from the website): Charlie Viola, Executive Chair of Viola Private Wealth, and...

This is why many didnt sign the petition.... why cause our own noise, and give more ammunition to the press by infighting over something we cannot control ? We have a CEO signed for 3 years 99% of us agree is probably the best thing that happened to the club, and we have a team (on paper) which...

There is NO evidence to support this claim. HBG has a fully web based sign up page which then goes to a fully secure payment gateway. BTRLFC has a web baes form which asks for mobile and email address with a "we will contact you" page (I dont know if this contact page then results in a form...

So long as process was followed, then no one can overturn the ban/punishment. Even if the Liquor and Gaming comes out and says "well, the punishment was harsh, and the term seems draconion" so long as the correct legal process has been followed, then there is no one who can overturn the ban...

5 years? Its been dysfunctional for 25 years. Thats the leading issue. The board has never had stability. If it had, explain the appointment of Grant Meyer as CEO back in 2013..!! I recall hearing Scott Longmuir speak about the club a couple of years after we won the comp - he was espousing the...

Im not selling anything. I am asking for evidence of claims being made. Its OK to say "these are my opinions"... but when you make statements, be sure to be able to produce the evidence to back up those claims.

Thats an easy one... vote to change the constitution. From the last filed fin reports for BTRLFC - there are 8 directors. Just slim that down. Doesnt need that many to run the football operations. Find 3 or 4 people who's kids play for one of the teams, and get them on the board. Maybe keep a...

Exaclty my point. Or at least, they fully contributed to its insolvency, or stood back and watched the place become insolvent.

No they dont actually. The club can continue quite legally within the framework of the leagues club constitution. I would expect a quorum for a board meeting would be 50% of the allowed seats. They only need to replace those directors at their next AGM (which I understand is sometime in March...

These were the same directors running Balmain Leagues Club. Besides, surely even with a "junior" football club, there are "junior" people involved in the club who could represent that organisation?

Its not about power... but your following sentence was right... they are attention seeking ...and what they are reported to have said to the press (or apparently leaked to the press) was indeed "nonsense" One doesnt need power necessarily to cause trouble... you just need a loud enough...
