HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[coivtny]

makes sense how?

Jesus. It makes more sense as being a bigger issue than the colour of the jersey.

yap yap go follow a different club if you’ve got such a grudge. you wouldn’t be missed

Grudge against who? When we are struggling next year, people will be singing my tune. Taking the punches in the off season is nothing for me. I just ride the wave.

Luai is one smart operator. What a genius to have that release clause

He probably took one look at the HBG board profile and gone... "yeah, nup"

Question for all - is this the first we have heard of the “owners veto” … or was that always a thing?

I knew about it , but the way it was explained to me it was for huge decisions . Like where the tigers will be playing , major sponsors , replacement of key figures in the club like ceo , coach , gm ……not the colour of the jerseys

Has anyone said anything good in this thread?

I complimented BAGFN05 on the quality of his letter to PVL.

Nothing explicit; however, a subordinate board usually has guidelines set and has to act within them. If the senior board has concerns they usually have the power of veto. It is seldom used as it is a way to force conversations to be had before final decsions are made.

I can't say I've seen it written anywhere though.

People are so touchy.

That’s your opinion. FTR, I didn’t go out of my way to say Benji should be sacked. Someone suggested that might happen, and I said it wouldn’t be the worse thing to happen. God forbid.

Is there a way for HBG to be removed from the club?

 

[Lestronge]

Has anyone said anything good in this thread?

Why would they. The club has gone backwards in one afternoon . The most important implementation of the review was the independent board… and now we return to the laughing stock of the nrl …just as we were thinking about handing that position over to someone else .

We might need to march for that.

That’s my point. No one has anything positive to say. Nor should they.

It's not the team It's the owners they are venting on and for good reason, you are just stirring, does that float your boat.

What avenues are there for that though? And what benefit does vlandys get from forcing them to sell the club?

Nope. Someone said Benji might be sacked. I said that wouldn’t be the worst thing. That’s all. You painting it like I in came and shat on Benji unprompted is disingenuous.

 

[Lestronge]

Does anyone not like the New Jerseys ? I think they’re both mad . I also think we should have a full black jersey , like the broncos got . With mild white lines . That would be awesome as well. Completely away from both the traditional Balmain and wests

Seems the WT board had even less authority than I thought …

 

[coivtny]

OK..misunderstood....I thought you were questioning that the jerseys had sold out

I was trying to think what motive WTs would have in saying that if it werent true

No, not at all but I can see where you would have got that impression. The jerseys seemed to attract 99% positive comments and I would not be surprised they sold out.
I’m just in a bad mood tonight and seem to be taking a contrarian view on a lot of the comments. To be honest I’m as pissed off as anyone but I just hate the childish comments about Burgess’ hair or dragging poor old BZN into it when he hadn’t said “boo” tonight.
I think I’ll put myself on mute for the rest of the night.

According to sources with knowledge of the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity, one issue that led the HBG board to take action was the colour scheme of next season’s Wests Tigers home jersey, which was deemed to be too gold – a traditional colour of Balmain.

They will implode the club because of a jersey colour, that will do me. I wonder what colour they think a tiger is.
