Mate they all ready treat the club like they own it. Adopt a system of governance that puts the best people for WTs in control and make them accountabile and then no problem with HBG. I think most were satisfied at the end of this year until the blow up.

Which makes the individuals expendable if they consistently fail. Not the case for private ownership

My understanding is that none of the individuals that make the decisions own anything Gal. They are not private investors - they are the beneficiaries of the debenture system that gives them power and appears to be factional not merit based - given the bloodshed in recent times.

Mate it doesn't matter who has the majority if the people you are working with are not pulling in the same direction - hence the review. They had a majority then and three directors got dumped and banned on the back of it. No way Richardson would have signed on without an independent board for...

At this point I dont know who is on the board - just like the begining of last season when we were still waiting for the independent directors to be appointed after what took an age. I'd be quite happy for them to be working together as a unit for the WTs not the Magpies or Balmain and never...

Geez Gall we are all bias to a degree but HBG have given us plenty of reasons to blow up given the reason for the frustration was at their own hand. One minute we are celebrating the appointment of one of the best CEOs in the game and next minute one year into his deal at WTs he leaves with...

That wasn't in Luai's contract. It was after two years and plenty of players only sign contracts for two years.

Fact - Julie Romero dumped less than 12 months after being made chair of board - no explanation. Fact - HBG sacked independents - retaining HBG reps - after what most considered was an improved season. Fact - the board via Paton said they fully supported Richardson knowing that he publically...

My theory is Chads on HBGs PR team

Good old Chad doesnt know anything when defending HBG's actions but defends them consistently as the aggressors, but when it comes to Richardson and OFarrelll still doesn't know anything but comes up with a theory to discredit them.

Must have offered him a motza.

It's gone beyond amusing though hasn't it? I guarantee you would never have supported the boardroom fiasco's if the shoe was on the other foot. Blind loyalty is great when you are flying high but in a professional sporting competition "the people" - under the organizations selection process-...

More of the same - great. That should generate a whole lot of new fans when the old diehards die off and Benji's icon status is no longer a drawcard with players. The sleeping giant they tell us - HBG have mastered the sleeping part

We wouldn't be talking about this at all if they stuck to the plan - but we never know from one season to the next who or what is motivating their decisions because none of them appear to be in the best interest of the club or the fans. The last thing fans want is more hostility at board level...

Which time?

Darcy got called out publically for not doing his homework. Rightly so. We all know Darcy is a grandstander. As a supporter he will be silenced by the club doing well on and off the field just like all the other critics. They want to keep dangling the bait by not sticking to the plan then they...

That's rubbish Chad. Couldnt recruit and couldn't retain. There is a reason why players and coaches find success at other clubs that they don't find here - there is no denying it - that it's a fact. Brooks mighten have ended up a superstar but he played finals footy the first year he left...

C'mon Chad we operate under the same salary cap as every other club, we have a healthy junior base, we have had two ex premiership coaches -one who jumped as soon as he could and the other we sacked - we have a great fan base and we haven't appeared in final series since 2011. We are poorly run...

Good players have options. Of course managers target well run clubs for their clients - they breed and maintain success - recruit and retain well and do not have 12 year rebuilds The keys have been thrown into Benji's lap and if he fails their is not much else that will keep the players at WTs...
