HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Lestronge]

Who has more money, HBG or NRL?
And can the NRL make it hard for them, like force them to relocate etc?

In theory if it was 1995 and SL was going then HBG would have power . But now it’s the nrl , and they are the only game in town , and own all thier licenses , once the license has been removed , sure HBG owns wests tigers the club , but what is that worth if they’re not apart of the nrl ? Zero . Less than zero , because of all the overheads . They could double down and say , fine we will run the wests tigers … but think about how much money they would have to payout to employees and bills . They’d have 2 options . Fold the club and right it off for tax as a loss , and get horses heads turn up next to thier pillow … or sell it.
The license would probably then go to someone like easts tigers the club moves to Brisbane … and these 25 years are a bad memory .

You can repeat that as often as you like. It simply does not ring true.

And you know that as factual information all the way from NZ ?

The statement from Paton was a lot of spin. The independents thought they were doing a good job on the back of the boardroom meetings and their achievements. They were totally blindsided while the HBG reps on the board remain with positions in tact.
There is a reason the old Maggie diehards are cheering about this action - and can guarantee it's got nothing to do with the future of WTs.

Speaking from the Magpies point of view I totally support the anger being shown towards the HBG cronies and their decision to sack the independent board members

What I did find harsh were Forum members saying they wouldn't use a Victa Jersey to wipe their ass with

If the shoe was on the other foot and someone said they wouldn't wipe their ass with a Philips Balmain Jersey chaos would ensue

All this shemozzle over a jersey and colour tone that the majority of the fans love.

Crazy stuff!

I mean, did souths ever Fire anyone for this Monstrosity?


As people were saying, last thing they wanted to see was south's players Cosplay Sailor Moon.
Now I don't mind us defending Tiger orange, but this is stupid overreach. I hate that we are not given the real reasons and they probably relate to Wests Ashfield more then anything else.

Perhaps it's time to demand HBG release the club to the members.

 

[Batmans Parents]

It was reported some time back that HBG reps often don’t show up at board meetings.

Shocker

 

[Vicious]

lol or read papers or watch TV
if it was Barry doing this then sack him not the other independents

PVL will find out the truth and take appropriate action.
I find it hard to believe Daniel Paton would make the statements he did yesterday if he knew it would come out that he has told blatant lies.

 

[BAGNF05]

This is just so toxic and pathetic

And no surprise. We are on a historic finals drought don’t forget. Did people actually believe our owners were any good?

 

[Lestronge]

@Vicious are you going to acknowledge any facts people have presented ? I haven’t seen you reply to any ? This is the third time I’ve asked this question . You were quick to call people variations of stupid …

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Well either Barry O or Daniel Paton are lying.

Barry was very direct so either he &/or Paton is a liar.

My bigger concern is that Richo is very quiet (which he normally isn’t) & PVL statement where he mentions politics intentionally is not a good sign for HBG this time round.

 

[Lestronge]

Ok so you a calling Daniel Paton a liar.
The truth will come out.

It’s logic ….wtf is wrong with you ? What is happening right now …

If you bothered to listen to the Daniel Paton interview it explains it all in plain English.
You can either consider what he is saying could be true, or dismiss it as a blatant lie, that’s up to you.

Talk about thick! It doesnt ring true because it doesnt make sense. There are two (2) HBG reps on the WT board. They should be quite capable of communicating WT decisions to the HBG. Get it?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

PVL will find out the truth and take appropriate action.
I find it hard to believe Daniel Paton would make the statements he did yesterday if he knew it would come out that he has told blatant lies.

So then you’re calling Barry a liar then who was more open and direct than Daniel?

Why would you care what Paton and his clowns at HBG say V, right or wrong they have been a thorn in the side for too long we need to cut the cord somehow to go forward and improve.

WWWWEEEEEEE!!!

This thread is a fun one.

In regards to this stupid colour thing I asked Googs AI what colour would a tiger and a magpie would morph into.

A hypothetical creature resulting from a tiger and a magpie morph would likely have a striking, contrasting coloration featuring bold patches of black and white, and orange stripes or accents.
The colouring is derived from the distinct plumage of the magpie and the fur of the tiger:
Magpies typically exhibit a stark, iridescent black and white plumage pattern.
Tigers are known for their vibrant orange or reddish-brown base colour and prominent black stripes.
The resulting morphed creature would be a hypothetical blend, combining these elements into a unique black, white, and orange striped pattern.

Apparently if you mix all three colours you get brown... how very appropriate

Speaking from the Magpies point of view I totally support the anger being shown towards the HBG cronies and their decision to sack the independent board members

What I did find harsh were Forum members saying they wouldn't use a Victa Jersey to wipe their ass with

Those 1980’s jerseys were a heavy cotton material, you’d find the texture not conducive to an effective arse wipe. You may require multiple jerseys in fact. I think that comment was meant to be taken in that context. 😉

Stop the fight … he’s already dead

No factual information has been confirmed, just guessing and innuendo.
If you want tj believe something is factual before being confirmed as factual that’s up to you.
Have you ever heard of innocent until proven guilty?

Yeah, I agree. I’m an old Magpie who couldn’t give two shits about HBG. But there is definitely an element of posters who are using this just to grind an ax at the Magpies and ex Magpies supporters in general. Like claims that there are Magpies supporters celebrating this. Total bullshit. Maybe the fanatics, or a couple dinosaurs calling 2SM. But no one here.
