HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[The Chad]

Mate everything that’s been said , has been spoken about all over the podcasts , forums etc. the simple fact is the only solution to the problem is time .
The brutality of life means older generations who never transitioned but sit in places of power will die out (literally), and eventually the club will shift to a Wests tigers . There will be no magpies nor Balmain , ultimately because the question will be asked by those say millennials and younger , wtf is a magpie and Balmain . Because whilst I do see how the magpies represents a lot of older people’s youth and identity , it isn’t held in the same regard and reverence by younger generations . In fact it’s quite the opposite .
Same for Balmain .
Whilst once an area of dock workers and middle class hard working peoples , it has transitioned into a yuppy haven with people who are just as likely to ask “who the F are the tigers” as much as they are to follow the team. LO however being a borderline tourist attraction for people to have a final destination after a pub crawl , almost like an inner city Berlin Love Parade , where people are met by screams and Guns and roses , and cert crashes for 80 minutes , rather than techno music , naked young people and copious amounts of MDMA, puts life still into the Wests tigers brand .
The reality is, and I’m a demon as much as anyone for harping on about the following , the reality is that no matter what we say and do people see it as “thier club” . So that implies ownership which inevitably leads to selfish decisions.
Simply the current times we live in , have made true altruism as mythical as Zeus and the Minotaurs , which means people either through necessity or social engineering , simply don’t want to concede , let alone do what’s right for the collective . Which means a stalemate of shit being thrown over the fences for the next period of time is the only real way forward z
It’s the same with every single issue in the world . And it sux because our kids are gonna suffer because we are incapable of being able to compromise . I fear the team is destined to be the nrl also rans , like an nrl west ham. Or Everton . Forever meh …

Zeus & Minotaurs? Wimbledon & MK Dons.

You sir, have upped your game of late.

I used to feel the same as you . But watching guys like @Bus 2 Terrigal Lagoon and @BZN , and that guy on social media Stamo , deliberately sow division as if it were sport , and treat it like a game of 1 upsmanship , makes me realise it’s just not possible .
And the weird thing is I’m not even sure they know these people on HBG . It’s like a loyalty to nothing , knowing the years of failure at the club , and the poor judgement of the people running it , are irrelevant to them as long as the idea that wests are getting one over Balmain or something like that .
It’s a weird headspace to be .” I don’t care if clowns are running the show into the ground , they’re my clowns”.

You named 3 "Magpies aligned" posters.

This one-upmanship & attempts to belittle others is not unique to that side of the argument.

In fact, I think the numbers weigh heavier the other side.

By the way if the algorithm is not fixed in my last post I will be reporting through the most fomornal channel I can find

Urgh , your lack of ability to look in the mirror right now…. Seriously . There’s only 1 side . Wests tigers. .
The fact you can’t see there’s a difference between outrage at the position the club is in ( the joke of the league) , and others openly mocking and doing a jig saying things like “we own 90% we can do what we want” , or every issue that comes up “why don’t you march to Ashfield “ , as if they’re the same thing is an indictment on yourself .
There’s no power struggle going on . There’s fans sick of supporting the joke of the league , and others clinging to some inept corporate body who have gone from failure to failure , because they represent the idea of a club that hasn’t really existed in 26 years . I mean the name of HBG FFS implies unity , something they simply aren’t really advocating for .
I honestly don’t get it . Man U can’t stand Radcliffe . Tottenham just got rid of Levy , and want there ownership group to sell for pretty much the same issues as the tigers - the club is run to sustain itself not to make a push and win trophies . Why are people defending a group of people who simply can’t run the club . I would honestly say the same thing about Balmain if they were in charge . Old men with no idea , neeed to move out of the way , and let some new voices in the room .
The way the narrative gets spun is deliberate because if the spotlight is firmly positioned on the real issues - 26 years of failure and no end in sight , then there’s no real thing to debate .
But that’s not what you will reply with . It will be some garbage about the magpies and HBG , a the conversation will shift again . So irritating
