Breaking news: HBG takeover

[coivtny]

I'm not a huge contributor to this forum but during these times of peril I find it a valuable source of information.
It's probably not quite a thousand others, but I'd say about 5% of post are whinging and bitching at each other and I'm over glimpsing at them and scrolling past.
And yes there have been many other posts of a personal nature, but saying someone grew up on an orphanage as an insult is up there as one of the worst.
If people could start using a little more creativity and a touch humour with their insults it would be greatly appreciated.

My response to you is the same as my response to the other bloke. This is a beat-up. You don’t care about the comment but are pretending like mad you do. Report it to the moderators if you’re that concerned. They may agree with you.

 

[Craegus]

Can you imagine how many emails they’d get about the Bunker, let alone everything else?

I wasn't even expecting a response, the fact that they did is a positive.

I sent a reply in but wasn't sure if anyone was going to read it, I figure as long as I keep the email chain going they can be inconvenienced the same way we are.

Yep, the more they get from different people, the more they know it is something the fans are not happy with, and might act.

 

[innsaneink]

Anyone get a response from the N.R.L from any correspondence they've sent.

Yeah...a few of us have

I’ve made quite a few ageist comments in the last 48 hours and for that, i apologise. My parents and grandparents are ageing and they are great people.

It’s only entitled greedy self-serving people who think they can treat our club and those who care about it with disdain that my comments are aimed at. They just happen to be old.

Mate, it takes a big man to make this post and so i tip my hat to you. My apologies to you too for my comments. Maybe we can bury the hatchet, just not in each other.

The fact we haven’t heard from Richo means he is likely gone as well

The only scenario where he stays is if the NRL steps in. He couldn’t work for the current regime.

 

[Telltails]

I've been compelled to send a letter before, this is the first time I have done it.
I will also be attending the march at Pratten Park with my entire family because we need to.

If it gets to a point where Richo leaves and the nrl doesn't respond then we are truly stuffed

I really think he stays. That may be wishful thinking but I wouldn’t be surprised if he and PVL have talked and PVL has asked him to stay on.

Welcome Robbie Farah (CEO) 🤦🏽‍♂️

Not a bad thought if Richo does go. It’d be better if someone like Richo could mentor him for a year or two though.

Will it be too late by than?

Lol Robbie wouldn't be that dumb, anyway HBG will only employ a magpie puppet.
The type where it operates through the arse end not by string.

 

[Suzie-Q]

Do you mean in general, or moreso since this all hit the fan the other day?

Always. Certainly upped the ante when the petition was launched last year.

Not a doubt he does imo.

 

[TT 01]

If Richo does go I reckon I’m done. Smartest man in the world Luai having his clauses - he’ll be out of here soon as well

 

[Suzie-Q]

apparently now it is being reported Richardson had put forward a proposal to change the wests magpies nsw cup team to Wests Tigers
apparently hbg were not happy with that proposal

Well nothing's changed in twenty-odd years since Tim Sheens wanted the same thing.

 

[Suzie-Q]

25 years on the minute the home jersey has some gold in it he doesn't like it.
The black jersey has been the home jersey for 10 years.
A gold one comes in and it sells out but apparently hbg do not like that.
this is the mentality we are dealing with as a club

It's a complete joke 🙄

Speaking of Contracts, if I were Charlie Viola, the ex Independent Board member and owner of PepperMoney the major sponsor of the WTs, I'd be fine tooth combing the sponsorship deal to see if the get-out clauses are covered by this nonsense from HBG.

Didn’t think Charlie owns Pepper Money?
