Did that happen when Tinkler couldn't pay anymore?

No mate naivety would be thinking that HBG is going to sell WT or NRL is going to hold them accountable. It hasn't happened in 20 years and having a 21st year of failure isn't changing that. Just like our NRL team, they do enough to sustain us and keep our nrl license going and that's all...

Major funds, not all funds. I'm sure they wouldn't need board approval for a clogged toilet.

They could get rid of all independents but they still won't get control over our money right?

On paper and our charter at least, we are supposed to be independent. Major things like sponsor approval, head coach etc require Board approval which is fair but where WT want to spend their money, that's up to CEO. If Shaun wants to invest $500k and hire better physios and trainers for our...

Perfectly summed up.

Yeh someone had that idea last week in the Luai thread. I think it's the right move too. Luai's D will help Javon too. Does Javon play on the left or right at NSW cup level?

I think we all need to accept HBG isn't investing in this Club. Shaun needs to go in and get as many sponsors as he can, get Govt grants, get Universities to send their students etc to give our pathways the support they need. Honestly, for now, screw the NRL team. We can't call ourselves...

I have no douby they're a hindrance to our success, but we need to find a way past that. You can have as many protests and things as you want, but more people will buy merch, buy tickets, click on articles, the IP will be there so at the governace level, nothing is going to change. Great owners...

We have had independent people on the Board before, where did that get us? I truly don't think Board and HBG is our biggest problem. They're crappy owners, they don't provide us with funding, connections or support. I understand that and that sucks! But, we cannot get rid of them. The idea...

I think NRL has had enough time to intervene which they haven't and I doubt they will. They sell articles, they stay in the news because of WT. The drama surrounding us pays a lot. As you said HBG has had enough time to do the right thing but they haven't. However, I cannot speak about what...

The point I made earlier isn't that these Juniors are joining other clubs, it's more so that we aren't able to develop these juniors so we are losing them from the sport. You seem to have a better grasp at it than I, but to me, junior participation rates in SW are high, population is growing...

Thanks mate, appreciate the response. I hope you can eventually divulge more information about how much $$ were given to our Pathways teams, especially compared to other teams. And if we can increase the quality of coaches, trainers/ physios, or what the plans are to upskill the current ones.

As I've been saying in other threads, we need to be self- sustainable and self- governed. We have some profits now, the NRL grant is increasing so hopefully we can build off the back of that. The NRL grant is massive and in order to help grassroots, even if we underspend the cap and hire...

Very lucky not to concede 50. Had 50+ written on it from the start

Just punch the crap out of him. What have you got to lose

At least injured one of these Dogs players.seaskn is gone anyway.

I don't care if Twal goes off. Should have punched him harder.

Honestly, he's just dumb. He doesn't know which direction to go in at the ruck. Has no urgency. It's like he's doing zone two running for 80 minutes.

Players in the last two weeks have been jumping to put themselves in that position. Watch how many dangerous tackle penalties have been given last two weeks.
