I think everyone thinks the boss is the boss, but everyone has a boss. CEO’s have boards, CFOs have CEOs. Sometimes they are just delivering the message. They just need to go. I’ve had enough. Feel for the actual club, but I’m contemplating not watching if it turns into a circus of players...

People need to chill out on here. Go to the servo, eat a Gaytime and have a spell before typing.

I’m sure they have it worked out to get their outcome, and I bet their moves don’t result in a better performing club.

Unfortunately being a CEO of an organisation that needs rapid change, with a board that puts up roadblocks is a shocking situation to be in. I personally think Richo is gone unless the NRL can step in, or they get another buyer. I actually think there’s a chance of that now, western Sydney is...

Haven’t read the entire thread - Laundy apparently said he’d be interested in buying Tigers. Would be a great move.

Will be interesting to see if the new board members are independent. If they are, then I guess there’s less of a problem. Can’t see that happening though.

Yeah, I know. My comment was tongue in cheek. Tigers need a new owner that's independent of the history.

What in the actual F? If Lee Hag is Paul Bearer, then he must be The Undertaker. Might be time to get Anthony Wiggle to come in and buy the club with his Hot Potato money.

Lee Hag could have passed for a bad 1930's gangster-type wrestler, or even Paul Bearer! Maybe it's why the Tigers had that strange sponsorship from the Australian Wrestling Association.

Completely agree with you. I think the problem is that sometimes decision-makers aren't rational. It plays out in public more-so when it's a sports team. The rationale is completely insane, but there's no other explanation apart from a scenario where Richo/board have done something really...

Why is it that a good portion of WT board members tend to look like B-grade WWE stars? We really need to up our standards.

Could be. I think they are just cutting Richo's legs from underneath him. What the end goal is? Who knows? It's definitely not in the best interest of the club, it's members and/or fans. Pretty disappointing really. Going to have to start supporting the Balmain Bowls Club.

Can't really know, but I am thinking they don't want progress under the Wests Tigers banner. This is the first year in 10 years that they recorded a profit without cash from HBG. Richo was open about wanting to run with financial independence from HBG, and maybe they were starting to see their...

I actually think this may lead to the owners going. Western Sydney is too important for the NRL, and I cant see any other motivation other than deliberate sabotage. PVL said he'd step in, and I think this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

The rules are different for board members and fair work. They may have a case, but HBG probably have documented their issues.

My read is that HBG probably want Richo gone. Sacking the board members, making the board non-independent triggers his early release clause. They know he won't like it and know he'll probably leave. They don't want the blood in their hands. My guess is that HBG don't like the direction he's...

Seibold has more degrees than a protractor, says the right things but doesn’t seem to have what it takes. Seems like a nice guy. I think manly could finish last this year. Not odds on, but a chance, especially if turbo is injured for periods again.

Don't know if this has been covered, but the fact that we're playing the Cowboys at Leichhardt for the first game gives me a bit of confidence we can win it. It's still rubbish that we've been given bye round 1, but I don't think the Cowboys are looking that great this year and the Leichhardt...

If he can sort out the brain snaps he's a decent first grader in my opinion.

Looking at the latest lot of preseason photos - geez Ethan Roberts is a big unit.
