HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Suzie-Q]

25 years on the minute the home jersey has some gold in it he doesn't like it.
The black jersey has been the home jersey for 10 years.
A gold one comes in and it sells out but apparently hbg do not like that.
this is the mentality we are dealing with as a club

It's a complete joke 🙄

Speaking of Contracts, if I were Charlie Viola, the ex Independent Board member and owner of PepperMoney the major sponsor of the WTs, I'd be fine tooth combing the sponsorship deal to see if the get-out clauses are covered by this nonsense from HBG.

Didn’t think Charlie owns Pepper Money?

Looks like a 10 hr round trip coming up ... and I'll be wearing my lovely, new, orange (and black and white 🙄) jersey. Who else is going??

 

[Suzie-Q]

How hard would it be for HBG or another Board Member to come out and say "we are fully behind Wests Tigers", there is no consideration being given to bringing Magpies back or anything like that.

Na.. they love the mystery. They love the articles. All that's seen at the end of the day is how many clicks we get, not how we got them.

Pathetic.

Pretty hard, because it always appears they're not fully behind Wests Tigers. This is the worst it's been though.

That's not up to me that's up to HBG and they obviously believe it's in the best interests of the club.

Best interests of their incompetent eff wit selves and their senile fanboys on here you mean mate ???

Did you just steal one of my pathetics?

I cant , I’m locked into my area for that week for work reasons. Really bad timing to be honest. I don’t live in Sydney either .

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Not really - try adding logic. Brett Read did it well.

Don’t bother mate, this troll and the bus driver to hell are just trolls on here that are almost delirious with joy right now .. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they are both burgess burner accounts or besties of his .. they make me sick ..

Parking around there from memory is scarce...Maybe Ashfield mall your best bet, Pratten Parks about 5 mns walk away

Agree
but I think they have tried to do that , however all the known information, actions and previous history would suggest they are not telling the truth
Also given the interviews by Lee H, Barry O and others with knowledge of the goings on at HBG

Was there a podcast on tonight or something ?

I don’t know why there are so many derogatory references to age in this thread. Age has little to do with it. A 35 year old could have followed Wests or Balmain pre-merger. Does that mean that we should disregard the opinion of all over 35s?
I’m 74 and I reckon just about all over 70s on this forum do not support HBG’s actions this week. That includes old Magpies and Tigers.

I have a concern with age when it comes to people in position of power, in this case the HBH board. Age has an impact on cognitive functioning. While it can begin as early as 30-40 it usually declines significantly after 70 years of age. Some lucky people maintain fully functioning cognitive ability for their entire lives. Unfortunately I’ve witnessed several close friends, over 70 destroy their families, friendships and businesses and leave behind a trail of destruction when they passed away. Early succession planning is the best safeguard, empower the next generation to take over before the decline sets in and perspective becomes clouded.

Its a 10 min walk for me..i will be there and i am busy recruiting others.

 

[weststigers]

Not a bad thought if Richo does go. It’d be better if someone like Richo could mentor him for a year or two though.

There's no use having a CEO or a board if they don't have any autonomy. They may as well just appoint themselves and extend the HBG board meetings by an hour and kill 2 birds with one stone.

I was a wests Magpies fan...
I am a Wests Tigers fan....
There aren't to many of us left old magpies fans, but i am in my 50's and I have supported the West's tigers for more than 50% of my time as rugby league fan.
HBG could go and .#$$%%^ selves.

We need to push for members voting rights

PVL has already said he will investigate for the fans, it gives you a feeling he could push hard for that, get stuck in Peter release the kraken on their arse.

Any news flash of a resolution ?- which wombats ego is being massaged to see reason by the intellects tonight ? Never seen a thread move this swift and furious ever.
option B with a caveat ,we remain WTs with boardroom intellect
