What a bunch of gutless, disgusting, incompetent flogs these HBG scumbags are. Dennis Burgess and his weak [This word has been automatically removed] cronies can go play in traffic.

Hughes papworth Robertson, Eric grothe, Mark Carroll
it is not good but some of the callers are amusing sometimes

There’s some good YouTube content from callers of that show. Worth a watch/listen and will take the edge off the HBG rage

Wests Tigers arnt the problem though.
It's at HBG that changes need to be made. Wests Tigers finally seemed to be sorted after 25 years. It's the majority share holders where the problems are coming from.

What about picketing of some kind?

Pitchforks?

Yeh sometimes, but mainly just pigeons.

Just had to do it. 🙂 Might as well laugh

I haven’t listened to Talkin Sport since 05. I remember at the start of that season, callers were giving their predictions. One guy rang up and said our club had “less than nothing” and we’d run last. No it wasn’t me.

Probabaly Tiggah on LU...remember his thread?

It was monumental

Burgess has found out there is a vacancy with Skyhooks. He does a great version of "Livin in the Seventies"

I thought he was still paying homage to David Bowie's iconic look in Labarynth...

If Richo walks, I walk.

We were finally doing a rebuild the right way. It's infuriating, to say the least.

Ive seen pod clips of Carroll on FB, insta etc....sounds like hes talking with a mouth fulla gravel...cannot understnd a word he says

 

[cochise]

Maybe extreme but I think walk outs at games or some other public demonstration may also be needed. They are taking the piss now this mob.

Hoping to have it resolved before then.

 

[weststigers]

They always wait until things are calm and going well to drop a new grenade. Shocking management.

I think Tigger has re-invented himself here....what do you reckon @Winston Churchill

Wooden Spoon is looking like it is heading to Campbelltown

Well another 12 months, another wasted year. When will you 'fans' learn that your merger has been falling apart since the day it started? I just can't see anyway that this is an improvement on even Western Suburbs's darkest days!!?? Oh and how good do the Balmain PL team look Yappy? :lol:

too many headknocks

Batman surely "you cannot be serious"? These sort of statements can only come back to haunt you.
PS: What would Robin think?

He’s not Batman. He is either Thomas or Martha.

 

[hank37w]

Blocker and Elias who never played for wests tigers will get some quotes in lol
this is a train wreck
if Rucho does walk (think he will)
Step in Vlandys take the licence from HBG

Yes, Block and Back Door will be described as Wests Tigers legends and when they speak about the club they will refer to it as Balmain.

Nothing surer.

But is changing your board bringing the game into disrepute?
Did fans forcing the previous changes bring the game into disrepute?
What constitutes disrepute?
We as fans need a change but Ezra Mann has brought more disrepute to the game into the last couple of years than Denny and his cronies

Aside from playing politics to further his own interests at the expense of the success of WT and treating fans like garbage, Denny’s hair is held in disrepute, PVL only needs to look through his forum to demonstrate that. Case closed! Barry and the board should be reinstated by PVL as external administrators until HBG demonstrate they’re capable of adhering to proper governance structures.

I might have it wrong, but Richo is usually pretty quick to respond to stuff like this in hosing it down. He spent a huge amount of interview time explaining how good and improved the new systems of our club are at the end of last season and now that's taken a pretty severe blow.

The fact that the club has issued a nothing statement and there's nothing from Richo suggests at the very least that he wasn't involved otherwise he'd be on the front foot as he usually likes to be. Going to more serious extremes, his silence might reflect the fact he is either needing serious discussion to resolve his problems or is on the way out.

I'd prefer him and Benji to walk if they're not happy with this move. Both of them are imperfect, but I think they have worked together well to at least make us more credible looking both on and off the field.

If they don't like it, I hope they have the guts to leave, because they have enough influence and credibility that our entire fan base and significant league figures will back them to force change.

The trouble with accepting this return to HBG control is that it did not work, and they've continued to prove their incompetence off the field with their continued bickering. I just can't see it. But ultimately Id be persuaded by the opinion of the CEO and coach on this matter. For all their flaws, I believe both would not be willing to tarnish their reputation for something they don't believe in.
