HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

HBG sacking Benji would effectively be a declaration of war to Wests tigers fans and the NRL.. for this exact reason I think Benji is safer than ever.

Every single Skeleton in the HBG closet WILL come out. We haven't even scratched the surface and it looks like Dennis Burgess is going to get the punt..

HBG are like kids playing with matches on a 40 degree day. The wrong spark and the whole place is going up. Us fans are the fire and flames . We will metaphorically burn them to the ground.

Short term there will be turbulence... But we will get them out. We just need to be smart about it.

Why would they sack Benji?
He hasn't lost a game in months. If Marshall does go, it'll be his decision. But why would he? Next years team is pretty much locked in - none of this should impact the footy team in the short term.

And thanks for the scoop. I had no idea Skelton was in the closet 🏳️‍🌈

At the end of the day, one controlling entity is far better for us going forward. The trouble is the power is held amongst 20 people with their own competing agendas.

This wouldn't be an issue if the club was run with accountable leadership.

Do W-Tigers support Net Zero ?

This idea that it doesnt impact the footy team is such a incorrect statement and just tries removes responsibility for these dumb decisions. The HBG CEO said the same thing.

Winning starts in the front office.

Fair enough, but I'd hang my hat on this...
It would take something major to happen between now and tmw for this to change.

Not sure about being Richos man.

I hope you are right man … Mestrov would be ( another ) disaster ..

That's a good description of how much credibility you have.

 

[BZN]

Correct, when the board was restructured I feel Balmain should have put up a new representative to give a clean slate to the new board. At that point he was the only person that remained from the pre review board.

This is a new and exciting revelation from you.
Did you just simply forget up till now as he was from the Balmain side of the JV.

Thanks Gibbo

Note my qualification - it shouldn't effect the team "in the short term"

So what’s been happening in the world of Payton Place today? Just a summary of events will do, too much to read here and hard to follow.

 

[Flash089]

Couldn't the same argument be used in reverse? (Outside of the lauding bit). I mean, it's not as if Balmain is offering anything to the joint venture.

Balmain offered an apex predator, the Tiger. You’re welcome.

 

[innsaneink]

I don’t see the playing group being affected by Richo’s exit. I can see them getting their noses out of joint about Benji. However there is a very simple solution if they want him around. Win for the guy. Don’t have another sub par season than cry if he’s moved along. This isn’t a country club.

LOL

If only

Can a question be a description?
Granted you can have descriptive questions, but at the end of the day, they still remain questions.

I asked about net zero as you appeared to be describing factional dysfunction approaching LNP magnitude. Maybe WESTS-tigers should go the full hog and dump Paris

 

[BZN]

Very strange that you didn't come clean with this at the time.
But then he was from the Balmain side of the JV, so it just conveniently slipped your mind.

The more you write stuff like this, the more your reputation suffers. Very Holman Barnes like though...smarter than everyone in the room until it all blows up in your face.

The point was about the leaks. It is clear from what is being reported in the media that someone at the club has already started to set the conditions for the next potential move. It may not occur but sewing the seeds has already affected the team and the coaching staff. It started the minute Richo left the joint.

You know, I have always been extremely skeptical and mistrusting of the media in situations like this...hiding behind things like "On the condition of anonymity blah blah"...probably to my detriment as to whats actually going on.

Its hard to know who to believe especially online, I often dismissed reports about us in a negative sense probably due to a bit of persoanl bias as well.
But now...with us, nothing surprises me and Itappears the smoke precedes fire saying is more often true with us

The way algorithms are set up now its impossible for players to avoid media, which when I hear players say " I dont know anything about that I leave it to my manager" Is usually BS

Just thinkin out loud, and agree with ya @Jolls

Balmain in the bin
HBG out

You're just not listening. there's no conspiracy.

I think it takes time to cut through the noise until you reach the truth. It's like comparing a summary (the papers), with an Encyclopedia (the full story)...it will take time to get through all the volumes, but in the meantime, to keep up, you have to rely on the summaries.

Eventually, the truth reveals itself and people can see that now.

 

[innsaneink]

If we hover around the same spot on the ladder or go down, the justification is there to move him along.

Its not that simplistic
We could have a shocking injury run, we could lose seven games by between 2-4 points...all sorts of unforeseen scenarios could occur
Maybe justification to HBG whose kneejerk reactions are their forte ...but this is just all guesswork atm

Wow.
Who knew I had a reputation,
and one with the propensity to suffer ...

I don't think that qualification is correct either. This is completely demotivating. People who are supposed to direct the organisation you've bought into are making dumb decisions, yet expect excellence from you? Players read the media and some are WT fans since birth, hurting just like us.

We can't expect the players to be the better people here.
