HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[hammertime]

We may need a class action to get our money back...

Happy to be involved with one

Does anyone know one of those bryden lawyers?

Do the NRL have any power to act in this case?
I don't want this post to come across pro HBG in any way simply asking the question.
The NRL didn't appoint the 'independent' board, HBG did. They did so to manage their interests. If they aren't happy they have every right to move that board on.

I believe when the NRL has stepped in in the past is only when clubs have gone into voluntary administration due to not meeting their financial commitments. This is not the case here. So, do the NRL actually have any power to intervene?

I'm assuming they would as the article stated yesterday Vlandys was considering appointing an N.R.L administrator, if there were no grounds he wouldn't be able to consider it, I believe there were also breaches by HBG with the way the directors were stood down according to an article posted a few days ago, though I think the only ones who could pursue that would be the directors themselves in the courts which would be costly for a voluntary position which they prob wouldn't do. Who cares though, HBG do whatever they want when they want with their play thing, why bother with the rules. Do whatever needs to be done to get it done.

He may back us on this one!

There are no winners in this whole debacle, and HBG don’t really care as long as they are in control as the ship sinks.

Here they are guys. Note the three that have been there for a while are burgess, Steve , Vince View attachment 30416

Now that Richo is essentially out the door, all feelings/frustrations need to be funnelled directly to these fools.

As much as it hurts the club and players, we may need to boycott WT en masse to get any action.

I'm with you mate. Who wants to support this crap.

Yeh, I suppose the 1st couple of paragraphs are satire, but only in the sense of using humour which has a slightly sharp edge to it.
And I am really pleased that you weren't the Mod. who put me on another 48-hour ban.
I have a slight suspicion about who that may be and why, and I feel it's very unfair.

Now, my apology to you re a vendetta.
I can certainly understand why you feel it's weird on my part.
I definitely wasn't looking for one of your posts for an opportunity to reply in any sort of nefarious way, and you'll have to forgive for being a bit delinquent in the grey matter area, and that's not just a case of rapidly advancing years by the way, I've been that way since I was 1 day old 😱...but I don't understand what you mean by please stop following my posts.
I just happened to be scrolling through posts trying to catch up after spending the prev. 2 days in the bin when I noticed your post and realised it was one that had a subject I wanted to reply to, and I would have replied even if it was a post by tom, dick or harry.
None of the post was directed at you personally but I can understand why you thought it appeared as if it was.

Now to the bit about asking a question on behalf of a friend...he was definitely using hard edged satire.

I know all you Mods. must be tremendously weary from the time you are giving from the goodness of your heart, to handle what must be an absolute avalanche of posts, so please enjoy having a big frothy schooner when things settle down.
And just in case I am suspended again, I had better take this opportunity to wish everyone....a🎄very🤶happy🎄Christmas🎅.

Mate you should get a ban for putting us all through your long boring whiny posts, do you ever consider that.

I don’t listen to his or any other footy podcasts.
I could care less where Mr Byrne bobs up 🤷‍♂️

Absolutely agree👌

Just out of curiosity how have people gone getting refunds on memberships?

I’ll be cancelling mine today. If HBG want to continue to run the club into the ground they can fund it themselves. They won’t get another cent from me till that clown show is gone.

Let’s do it hit them where it hurts

I have told them today to cancel my membership.

So glad the swamp has been drained B2T.

Who you parachuting in as CEO? Im sure HBG have someone great lined up. So happy to see these guys get some power back after the rabble of the last 18 months. Great way of memorialising the successes on and off the field for the Maggies too!

Onwards and upwards!

Time to try cancel my membership

Any lawyers here?

I was reluctant to take it on with the $400 spoke in cost.

Richo gone has sealed it for me

I signed up when Richo called for members... Singed my entire family up...fought off the uncles trying to get my nephew to go for the broncos.. signed up my young daughter..

HBG out

Me too. If they question it I’ll be telling them HBG Board haven’t shown the morals that I am trying to role model.

Lets get a petition going for members seeking a refund.

The NRL will take notice of that.

I’m lost for words.

I know it’s already reported but I have it CONFIRMED that Richo is stepping down as CEO over this.

I don’t blame Richo for walking out, thank you for everything you’ve done for this club. You’ve given us a taste of success and stability during your short time giving us hope we’re capable.

I hope this is goodbye for now and not forever. If we can get HBG out under new management I’m sure he’ll be the first person called to finish the job he set out to do.

On the other side of things:

It’s become clear - this club will NEVER be successful until the HBG are out

The fact the NRL haven’t stepped in is equally as laughable, it’s clear they aren’t performance driven but more Wests driven.

I think this is the end for me, how can I give so much time/energy/money into a club run by people who continue to spit in us fans faces.

It’s all on you Benji… you’re our last hope.
