Subject: Request for Refund of Membership Due to Failure to Deliver Agreed Services

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to formally request a refund of my Wests Tigers membership for the current season. This request is made due to the ongoing situation with the club’s board, which has resulted in a significant failure to provide the standard of service, governance, and representation that I, as a paying member, reasonably expected and signed up for.

When I purchased my membership, it was on the understanding that the club would operate under a stable, competent, and properly functioning board, providing transparency, accountability, and leadership consistent with what was promoted to members. Recent events and the current instability at board level clearly demonstrate that these obligations have not been met.

Under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), consumers are entitled to services that are provided:

• with due care and skill,
• fit for the purpose for which they were purchased, and
• delivered as agreed.

At present, the governance of the Wests Tigers does not meet these standards. The issues surrounding the board have directly affected the club’s ability to deliver the service that forms part of the membership value — namely, stable administration, proper governance, and the level of organisational integrity that members are promised and rely upon when deciding to purchase a membership.

Given that the club is not currently providing the service as advertised or reasonably expected, this represents a failure to meet consumer guarantees under the ACL, entitling me to a remedy. In this case, I am requesting a full refund of my membership due to the service not being delivered in the agreed manner.

I ask that my refund be processed within a reasonable timeframe. Please confirm receipt of this request and outline the next steps required from my end.

Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your prompt response.

Kind regards,

We don't want to hurt the WT club and the staff, they aren't the issue.

Which law firm you work for?

Here we go....

Because he has a fondness in his heart for Balmain it's going to be Balmain centric? Spare me.

You're fine with HBG ownership (Wests) who literally just have to turn up to make money; there income is basically poker machines. A 2 year old turns a profit running the same business...

But you're not fine with a billion dollar business man whos reputation is nothing but success, because he's 84 and has a fondness in his heart for a piece of history?

I'm in an episode of weststigersforum360... One of you make stuff up to write the sob story, then you feed of each other.. it becomes its own news cycle...

Didn’t I say I would be ok with it ?
A lot of people used to support either Balmain or Wests and yes we are now Wests Tigers, but you can’t just delete history.
The younger brigade don’t understand it and that is fine, but it’s disrespectful when some people try and vilify people’s connection with Balmain or Wests.
In a perfect world the history off the Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies should both be respected equally and live on through Wests Tigers.
We don’t live in a perfect world unfortunately.

It was you not me who decided to put shade on someone’s career. I happen to be very proud of my success and achievements. I wouldn’t dream of doing that to you or anyone else.
I wasn’t trying to prove my success and you don’t know the half of it anyway. I was merely trying to illustrate a point by making those comments, not trying to self-aggrandise.
Not only did you try and put my career down you did it by showing just how inappropriate you would have been for a senior management role. That’s pretty stupid.
By the way how long have you referred to your fingers as the ladies. Bye wank.r, you are blocked.

I said it was naive to think Richo will stay. As in, you should know better. That was all.

Then you totally overreacted and unleashed all your personal and career insecurities on me in a stunning lack of self-control, all while trying to drag me into a slanging match. I've never seen anything quite like it.

You've been a bit defensive lately. Try and relax a bit.

 

[tigahhh]

I thought you said he was leaving. As was Bula and Luai and half the team ….and you of course as well.
Lol

yea? he took on the job only with an independent board. it’s not there now, so he is looking at leaving. if he does leave they will no doubt follow suit. i thought that was common sense but apparently not to you

 

[TigerNeddyK]

It’s shameful that you think like this , yet want to yell from all around that you’re hard done by , because you’re expressing your opinion … I’ve got second hand embarrassment reading your posts . You have zero critical sled awareness….

He’s deadset a muppet….i think it may be a burgo burner account 😀🤣

To me, Wests Tigers and the loyal fanbase crossed the rubicon this week and the club will never be the same. When we launched the initial petition we were met with a bunch of negative responses and pessimistic reactions. The second petition less so. These latest dramas, I think, have unified us the fans like never before. There’s no going back now imo.

As are others, I'm considering my continued support for this organisation. The question at the moment is; am I following the Wests Tigers or the HBG shitshows.
For years the Wests Tigers equated with the HBG shitshows. More recently Wests Tigers have risen above that, due to a period of good governance. The old chestnut, winning begins in the boardroom also works vice versa.
While I would feel regret for no longer supporting Wests Tigers, I wont be sorry at all to no longer follow the HBG shitshows.

 

[Tucker]

It’s over exaggerated ill informed nonsense….just like everything else you’ve posted in here over the previous few days.
Why do you keep repeating you are going to leave?
This isn’t about you.

That's awesome bro...leave them alone.

Send it to HBG and Cc NRL. It holds more weight.

the staff at WT are paying the price for the actions of HBG. it's them that should have to read through your quasi bush legal waffle, not a couple of low paid admin staff in membership.

Where's your head at son?

This isn’t about you.

you’re a tosser i ain’t biting. go get a hobby that isn’t me you obsessed nerd

 

[GNR4LIFE]

you’re a tosser i ain’t biting. go get a hobby that isn’t me you obsessed nerd

I’ll bet good money you’ll still be around if Richo leaves.

 

[tigahhh]

i won’t. trust you to pipe up though
you & tucker are a nightmare blunt rotation

 

[Tucker]

I have plenty of hobbies and a rich full life.
I am pretty sure you have neither.
Keep making this all about yourself though you little doom goblin lol….the whole world is ending lol….

Are you capable of not getting personal?

 

[Tucker]

Of course that’s the case.

 

[hammertime]

Richo can't win.

If he stays, he's almost saying he's on board with HBG actions. He wouldn't be able to say anything against them, I assume.

If he leaves, it is him walking out on the club at the time of need.

The bloke can't win. So, I think the only option is to step down temporarily, but say he is open to returning once the Wests Tigers have a truly independent board. i.e. Once it is resolved, either by NRL or L&G.

He can put a timeline on it, say 1 month.

 

[Tucker]

others have expressed the same sentiment you absolute tripper

30 times like you have?
There are more important things for you to be worried about in this world….

 

[GNR4LIFE]

others have expressed the same sentiment you absolute tripper

Yep, it’s emotion. You really think if Richo walks, after things settle down, every one of those people including you, won’t be sweating for round 2 vs the Cows? But hey, get triggered and call me names like an adult.
