Breaking news: HBG takeover

I also notice in the article , that the new HBG CEO is to be appointed to the board …. My guess is they thought they were appointing stooges to the tigers board …mouth pieces for HBG , and that hasn’t happened .

Happy to mate. Demps put up an article that included the following direct quote:
“According to sources with knowledge of the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity, one issue that led the HBG board to take action was the colour scheme of next season’s Wests Tigers home jersey, which was deemed to be too gold – a traditional colour of Balmain.”
As the comment comes from an unnamed source you couldn’t give it any credibility at this stage. It’s possible it is but I personally doubt it. That’s the reason I said “allegedly”. Time might give us the real answer.

OK..misunderstood....I thought you were questioning that the jerseys had sold out

I was trying to think what motive WTs would have in saying that if it werent true

Grudge against who? When we are struggling next year, people will be singing my tune. Taking the punches in the off season is nothing for me. I just ride the wave.

Question for all - is this the first we have heard of the “owners veto” … or was that always a thing?

I knew about it , but the way it was explained to me it was for huge decisions . Like where the tigers will be playing , major sponsors , replacement of key figures in the club like ceo , coach , gm ……not the colour of the jerseys

Nothing explicit; however, a subordinate board usually has guidelines set and has to act within them. If the senior board has concerns they usually have the power of veto. It is seldom used as it is a way to force conversations to be had before final decsions are made.

I can't say I've seen it written anywhere though.

That’s your opinion. FTR, I didn’t go out of my way to say Benji should be sacked. Someone suggested that might happen, and I said it wouldn’t be the worse thing to happen. God forbid.

Has anyone said anything good in this thread?

Why would they. The club has gone backwards in one afternoon . The most important implementation of the review was the independent board… and now we return to the laughing stock of the nrl …just as we were thinking about handing that position over to someone else .

That’s my point. No one has anything positive to say. Nor should they.
