Benji was biting his tongue alright but it was HBG that was spared the lashing. Can’t imagine the following headlines generated by HGB’s actions went down well with Benji and the playing group: “Seven of the Wests Tigers’ biggest stars have reportedly threatened to walk out if Benji Marshall...

Here ya go, or is this more group think? https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/the-architects-of-the-wests-tigers-review-banned-for-a-combined-15-years-20250101-p5l1iq.html

That’s an apt description of how the HBG treated the four independent directors. The HBG board should resign.

The punishment didn’t fit the crime, if there even was one.

Jersey design should be the responsibility of a sub-committee that includes the WM and BT representatives. If the sub-committee doesn’t report back ti the board they should be given a warning. That’s how communication issues should be managed, not through sacking 4 high profile independent...

The CEO’s responsibility is to communicate with the board of the Wests Tigers. It’s the responsibility of the WT board to act in the interest of WT. If SM reports to the WT board that the 2027 home jersey is to be predominantly orange based on market research that shows this will result in an...

The floors yours HT, feel free to Fri let loose with all the signings updates.

That’s what happened last year. We had highly qualified, highly accomplished independent directors working with one of the best CEO’s in the game. The club was flying and then the people who make bad decisions, made more bad decisions. Replacing the people who make bad decisions was the aim...

Agree, great post @ boonboon. ASIC can take enforcement action where there’s a breach of the corporations act. Not sure what would trigger a response, perhaps an anonymous whistleblower! Presumably the NRL could also step in if they have given HBG notice to fix their governance and were shown...

Following the independent review, HBG went through a lengthy process to appoint independent directors based on recommendations of an external recruitment agency utilising a skills matrix and selecting from a large number of applicants. The calibre of those board members demonstrated the value...

I’m arguing that the onus is on HBG, sounds like you place it on the fans: HBG have a lot of work to do if they wan’t fans to have a positive mindset. Based on past actions, they don’t seem to really understand the impact their actions have on fans let alone players and staff of WT. The...

Ignoring the past and hoping for a better future is not a successful strategy. Recent events show that HBG have not learnt from past mistakes, continue to repeat them and are the problem. Expecting fans to have faith in HBG after the last two weeks is naive. The onus is on HBG to restore trust...

We pay membership, we buy merchandise, purchase subscriptions. HBG have had their chances, they represent the interests of a small minority of fans and proven time and time again that they’re just not up to the task of running a successful NRL team.

Lol, it’s was a community organised event associated with a sporting team, my kids came along and had a ball. They were excited all week about going, loved putting on their Wests Tigers gear and playing with other kids. The toxic behaviour is in the HNG boardroom, wouldn’t let my kids anywhere...

That would have been a fair approach five seasons ago but time after time HBG have shown they’re inept and can’t be trusted. It’s not the fault of fans that they’re fed up and frustrated with the continual lack of leadership and progress, that lies fair and square with HBG directors and...

Family unity mainly mate, saw what I was going through and decided one in, all in lol. That and the tigers mascot! To be fair, her allegiance to the roosters wasn’t that strong, she had a crush on Craig Wing in high school and started following them. 😀

I’m not, it’s not up to me. I’ll let them know what I think, which is what I did today, but unless I get a $50M bonus for x-mas that’s all I got.

My wife converted from a roosters fan to a Wests Tigers fan and our 5y/o and 2y/o have their first “historic” WT moment lol. Hoping it turns out to be a success rather than emotional abuse 😅

10% ownership for each foundation club to protect and celebrate heritage and 80% to a new neutral owner with a focus on the future?

The new Western Sydney Aerotropolis is another massive growth area halfway between Campbelltown and Penrith. With an international airport, metro station and a new City Centre (Bradfield). Add in a stadium and major business sponsors. it might easily become WT future home.
