Breaking news: HBG takeover

[Vicious]

FTR, there are dinosaurs on both sides. Was only a year or two ago that the blue Wiggle said he would bring back Balmain if he had the money.

He would have the money, just too tight to put his hand in his pocket.
Similar to Trigaboff.

Harry is the biggest myth since Bigfoot.

trouble is unlike hypotheticals we actually have wests dinosaurs involved with the club now that is the problem
that balmain dinosaur has nothing to do with the club

So Dennis is living in a fantasy world, letting his obtuse impression fool and manipulate everyone in his way ?
Could it be that Richo has previously clashed with DB, cannot stand DB and no longer wants to deal with DB, therefore conducted a plan with BO to have certain things approved without going to board level, knowing full and well certain things they felt were important would potentially be blocked ?
Once this filtered back to the HBG or DB did they or he then plan to keep letting it unfold until there was enoug evidence to remove the independent board members which they or he knew would infuriate Richo and likely lead to him resigning, which they or he hoped would happen without any blood on their or his hands ?

You’re suggesting SR and BOF conspired to create a situation to prompt the HBG to react for their own nefarious purposes? Which one of them is Otto Von Bismarck?

I feel you’re asserting a level of thought and competence that simply is nonexistent in this case.

And yet a little over a year ago, we were led to believe Balmain were on their way back 🤣🤣🤣

Balmain or Western Suburbs will not be returning the NRL.
I know we live in a crazy world full of crazy people, but surely everybody understands that ?

Man … you blokes have had a lot of mileage out of that one … wasn’t the bloke that said that on his hospital bed or something ?

Anyway ..trying to defend one group of seventy something idiiots by pointing to another group the same doesn’t really move the needle much …

And nobody took him seriously and he was widely criticised for his out of date thinking.

Whilst I am extremely disappointed about the direction taken with the recent sackings and I totally agree that the HBG needs an extreme overhaul, what I will say is that most of the pieces of the current roster were put together before the independent directors came in...so i don't think it is the end of the world or a completely unmanageable situation where everyone walks or throw their toys out of the pram. For me the key to some short term stability is to keep Richo and Benji in place and well supported by the HBG as I don't think you are going to recruit a quality coach or CEO in the current environment. If Richo goes than all bets are off. The only way it could be saved is if they find a CEO that is switched on from a footy perspective and can manage the "personalities" in the HBG group a bit more diplomatically...I get the feeling that Richo is a bit of a my way or the highway kind of guy and that could be very grating to the HBG board.

If you think there was support on the forum for idiots like this too, you'd be mistaken.

He's saying there's no reason why the Magpies emblem shouldn't be in the state comp as the Wests Tigers representative. It's one and the same anyway. Every player and football staff member in every grade is employed by 'Wests Tigers.' All WSDRLFC actually do is put on game day at Lidcombe.

The belief that Western Suburbs Magpies run their own operation in NSW Cup, SG Ball, and Harold Matthews, and Balmain run their teams in Ball and Matts, is wrong. It's all administered and resourced out of Concord. Keeping the team names and mascots is largely political.

Again, I ask the question..why don’t we have a Wests Tigers reserve grade team?

Yet the five fossils calling 2SM ruffled your feathers 🤔

 

[UnderTheBus]

Sounds to me like Dennis is the cog in the wheel that needs to go. Can anyone get a mutiny happening?

Not while they can hide behind the debenture system. They seem to be knifing each other one by one, so our only hope is that keeps happening and there's no one left.

No I am suggesting SR and BOF somehow thought they could get away with it without any repercussions or were happy to push their luck.
Maybe it was desperation knowing they would just be banging their heads against the wall trying to get some of their agendas agreed to by the HBG.

Equating a move this week threatening the actual strategic operations and competitiveness of the NRL football club we support, with a click-bait news feed that predictably went nowhere apart from your browser bookmarks.

Well-played. We're all so lucky to have a mensa member on this forum.

@BlackWhiteGold Can we run an anonymous poll here? See if people want

- Wests Tigers
- Magpies
- Balmain

Would be interesting to see if everyone is on the same page.

Harry is the biggest myth since Bigfoot.

He at one time wanted to buy the Tigers that's not a myth.

Why? That’s just encouraging divisiveness.

You either don't read entire posts, or can't comprehend.

Some supporters are as dogshit dumb as the club itself.

I think we can handle it .,. Plenty of practice
