So you’re admitting that whoever was behind the decision to sack the Wests Tigers board should be removed. Given the decision was made by the HBG board and CEO, is it fair to say the HBG board and CEO should be removed from both HBG and Wests Tigers in that case?

😂😂😂 flip flopping from one point to another.

This isn’t a fair comparison. Brisbane and Melbourne have QLD cup feeder clubs (mostly in Melbourne’s case). You’re also ignoring the fact that Manly, Penrith, and Parra are first grade sides that have abandoned a similar model and have reinstated State Cup sides that mirror the rest of their...

Completely agree.The way they leaked the candidates to the media to canvass reaction shows how out of touch and unprofessional they are as well. The three candidates they considered- Burgess, Epifania and Elias, have zero qualifications, a proven track-record of putting self-interest before...

There was a tonne of opposition when he was named as a candidate for chairperson. Literally no one wanted him chairperson. The fact that HBG considered him an option was beyond moronic.

Yeah it’s not dog whistling at all and the more you gloss over the shitty behaviour from HBG, the more you prove that you’re a HBG lackey. Suzie is a phenomenal admin so you’re clearly just dribbling shit atm. If you don’t think the admin are worthy you’re welcome to just leave the forum and...

And what would you know about that only having just joined? You go to painstaking lengths to try and paint yourself as impartial or balanced but at the end of the day you signed up to the forum just to push HBG’s agenda. I think that’s a little bit pathetic really.

I agree re Stapleton. Honestly don’t really care for a Balmain rep. My understanding is they haven’t had an AGM in years. The fact remains though HBG have proven themselves incompetent and they have branch stacked this board. Also what’s to stop Burgess, Tropiano or Montgomery from...

That is grim reading.

There’s plenty of fans from the Wests Magpies side of the venture that agree. They’ve told you themselves in many different posts. Why are you so obtuse and belligerent? As everyone is saying it’s not hatred of Wests Magpies. We’re just sick of seeing the club run into the ground by a bunch of...

This comment typifies exactly what is wrong with the Wests Tigers, HBG, the HBG debenture holders and HBG loyalists. It also shows where your loyalty lies. Not with the Wests Tigers but with HBG, who have consistently failed in their duties to make the Wests Tigers club into a professional...

It’s not disrespectful at all to point out the strategic and branding flaws of the club. I’d also say that having 90% ownership doesn’t absolve you of criticism especially if you choose to run the brand and image of the club into the ground because of personal memories and connections to the...

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.
