HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Papacito said:
We're going to have to rename Shane Richardson, Icarus - it sounds like he flew too close to the sun and is about to come crashing to ground and bounce through the exit. Booting his supporters on the board is just the first step.

Footy is a weird animal. Maybe the same goes for life? Small things like a jersey colour can easily escalate into big things.

Reading between the lines, Richo and the independent directors may have been under a naive belief that being "independent" = running roughshod over the club owners and reps on the board.

I may be wrong on the above and have zero insider knowledge.

As much as I am a Richo fan, I don't think this is the end of the world if he does end up leaving.

Is that you, Burgo?

Richo is not perfect … but he seems to have turned around a number of things on and off the field .. I’m not sure who is the next one coming to replace him to work under the debenture holders that control the club

He's absolutely a good and competent CEO. I saw this up close in a past work life. I agree he is not perfect. I saw lots of this too.

Best case scenario would be that he stays.

If he does walk though, there will be no shortage of people wanting the job.

The podcasts should reunite and organise an actual boots on the ground protest that all the fans that care can support with the agenda that the HBG group need to go and the WESTS TIGERS members can vote on a path forward that is best for the football club … anything better than the aholeS that have led us to the failures of the last 15 bloody years.. make it clear that we are behind Richo and the independent board and HBG is redundant … to hell with Burgess and his chook raffle debenture holding never wasses

I wonder if the petirion group and.podcast guys would think getting Darcy Byrne onside for this.
He had a large loud platform...hed be able to access Leichhardt Oval...a major online shout out on all the socials to organise a protest

I remember back in about 2003 the Stop the rot movement organised by an ex forum member was succesful in getting some funding for renos at LO...blocker junior i think..wiz was there...I think @Kul was there too.

Might be crazy idea...but it might be very prominent

I am sure both our catchment mayors would add their names to this. I see that Paddy Tobin from Save Leichhardt Oval on Facebook group has also sent out a media release.

Why would you want the job? Cleary HBG can’t give the CEO the autonomy needed to be successful. We’ve improved on and off the pitch since the day the changes were implemented, now this.

Yes … I’m sure the job pays very well and will attract plenty of applicants … but there are a number of things to be across and I’m having trouble coming up with anyone actually better who would come here to do the job and work with the owners

Maybe extreme but I think walk outs at games or some other public demonstration may also be needed. They are taking the piss now this mob.

Paper bags are the way to go. Trouble is they’ve already got your money. Like when people burn records. Why should the artist care? You already paid them.

Our owners are crap.

Our fans still manage to turn everything into wests vs Balmain.

Did anyone get an answer around whether 2026 memberships can be refunded?

My first contact was to memberships asking for a refund & any auto renewal to be turned off.

To me it’s only harming Wests Tigers by cancelling my membership. I’ll be boycotting HBG other businesses and making sure the NRL feel my rage.
