A bit of good news to report (well, for most of us). Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson is leaning towards staying on despite the board changes.

HBG CEO Daniel Paton in the Herald today said he will make the call by Monday but they want him to stay on as well.

Please Richo, we Wests Tigers fans want and need you to continue to do the incredible job you’re doing. #InRichoWeTrust

Yes that’s probably his only play.
You can’t blame him either, this club has contributed nothing but bad press and cringe for many many years now.
It is a soap opera.
That said, if we think he may pull that rein, why are people encouraging others to contact him?

Well...it's the most powerful rein to pull isn't it?..so a bit like a nuclear weapon, you're probably a bit hesitant to use it unless you think you'll get full support.

It's really the final move...if the noise is loud enough to make the call, I think he'd do it.

So you want the owners threatened with having the club kicked out of the NRL?
It’s a bold move cotton, lets see how that works out.

Why do you think HBG are sabotaging the club?
Quite honestly there are so many rumours flying around...and that's all they are, rumours...and so many people getting hot under the collar.
I'm just worried with all this bolarkey that's going on and upsetting people, how many Balmain people have had heart attacks.
I think we all need to take a deep breath and settle down until the proof of what has happened comes out.

They have sabotaged the club man, thats the problem. You can't rewind what just happened and the timing was right when bula was negotiating.

So there better be a bloody good reason. Because, from the outside looking in, there is very little to justify blowing up the club like this, especially when all metrics were trending positive.

Currently the reason is not informing HBG on some commercial items. Which is not a good enough reason alone for me to do what they did, unless there were multiple warnings deliberately ignored.

Their example, the leichardt deal, came with $50m of stadium funding. Massive. It was a win, so what if they weren't consulted? There were heaps of public articles about richos push leading up to it, so if they didnt get involved, its on them.

Yeah...you're right...it had been a pretty public series of events around Leichhardt. To say they had no idea is laughable.

Hmmm yes. Reiterating we need those supporters of wests magpies or Balmain tigers to cark it (of natural causes mind you) to assist the club moving forward.

Mmmm

Classic Sealioning from Vicoious here
 
If Richo walks he goes so with two years full pay with is contract linked to Barry O Farrell retaining his position.
So they were either prepared to let Richo walk when they sacked O Farrell or they forgot about that when Paton said the independents dismissal would have no impact on Richardson and Benji. Don't think Richardson would have that clause if it was not significant to his position at the club.
Or maybe the pushback from the media/ NRL and fans has got them a little rattled and efforts have been made restore some trust.
