    Wests Tigers welcome Shaun Mielekamp

    Credit to Mielekamp though. Connect both organisations (WT & HBG) to start to alleviate that us versus them mentality. Get the HBG staff & board to personally embrace the WT admin & players and vice versa. Next we'll see a HBG staff & board day at one of the team training sessions to bond with...

    https://www.zerotackle.com/exclusive-departed-wests-tigers-forward-joins-new-club-229694/ tbh I thought the last NSW Cup game of the season was very telling. Taateo's defence was woeful, nowhere near NRL quality. Whilst his leg speed is good, his defence leaves a lot to be desired.

    Not that it matters but at least there is no Burgess, Montgomery or Tropiano.

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    Two of the trio Annabelle Williams and Michelle McDowell remained locked in dialogue with Holman Barnes about what a potential return would look like. If Annabelle & Michelle do return, it tells me there is some hope for this Board. If they do not, they must have serious question marks on its...

    Barry O’Farrell returns as chairman but Holman Barnes Group tightens grip on Wests Tigers Holman Barnes Group has seized control of the Wests Tigers board despite Barry O’Farrell’s return as chairman following weeks of fan protests. See the make-up of the revamped board. Michael Carayannis...

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    No we don't as Mielekamp was in that role. Not sure who a replacement could be as I'm sure Benji would have a big say. This role needs someone very financially savvy as well as highly respected and a knowledge of pathways through to high performance systems.

    Haha yeah a lot will depend on how the future corporate governance of the club is set up and what, if any, parameters PVL has insisted on moving forward. It makes sense to most to have Wests Tigers as the brand from NRL through NSW Cup to Jersey Flegg but, as we stand under the current...

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    You employ & entrust your Head Coach, GM of Football, CFO & CEO for this. You don't want the Board telling you who you can & can't sign. They are just there to ensure the proper processes, checks & budgets have been adhered to.

    Personally I'd love Wests Tigers to have teams in NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg moving forward. However under the current NRL license and JV agreement, I don't see this as possible unless there is a big change in governance & directorships at HBG. Then to me, a proposal could be to create a logical...

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    Don't think it is necessary. As long as the CEO (as conduit to the Board) can inform them on $$$ & the recruitment team has done the necessary due diligence, is within salary cap parameters etc, any decent Board member will then ask the necessary questions and request any further info to make an...

    HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

    If I was running HBG, I would want the most experienced & skilled WT board possible to make decisions on the future for the club whilst clear on delivering HBG positive outcomes (financial, community, membership etc). If they were adament on having a team represent the Wests Magpies in the NSW...
