HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[hank37w]

I have just joined because I believe that this is I have been a tiger supporter all my life I'm now 70
I was a Balmain support but now I'm not a Balmain nor a western suburbs magpie supporter I'm a wests tigers supporter
I would hope that the NRL get involved and sack th HBG for bringing the NRL into disrepute
The HBG are making the NRL look like a 2nd class organisation
I've been a loyal supporter all my life but if this is what is happening the Swans may be my new winter sport to follow and I can't stand AFL

Welcome to the forum old mate, hope you don't mind me calling you that because you are more or less the same vintage and similar rugby league supporter background as my self. (I also hate AFL as well as Souffs and the Holman Barnes Group)

You've lobbed up at a very interesting time so strap yourself in for the ride, that's not to suggest that we haven't experienced interesting times over the past 25 years or so but I just have a feeling that this time we are going to finally have a very positive outcome and a very happy future.

Wests Tigers forever. 😍

Well said said loyal. Welcome

The guy died 15yrs ago. No one has told him yet

Would someone drive a wooden stake through his heart and put him out of his misery.

People need to chill out on here. Go to the servo, eat a Gaytime and have a spell before typing.

Maybe you should of been there to counsel Paton before he did that video 😂

I’m sure HBG have got it all worked out …including Richo’s replacement, even if he leaves now .. they wouldn’t have made these moves otherwise

HBG would want the 4 independent directors and Richo gone. Agree, they would have Richo’s replacement lined up. A Puppet.

How's the answer to this question from the CEO of HBG. I have no words. What a complete imbecile

AP: A protest march has been arranged. Are you concerned about disgruntled Wests Tigers fans making their presence felt and making their voices heard?

DP: “I think there’s a bit of miscommunication out there in the media at the moment, particularly in relation to the colours of a jersey, which has never come up. So I just question what that rally is about.”

Is he for real???!

HBG just show zero care about the Wests Tigers Faithful. They only care about themselves.

Sadly I think he is.
Quoted that the sacking of 4 independents would not effect Richardson or Benji .... where do they find these people?

I think everyone thinks the boss is the boss, but everyone has a boss. CEO’s have boards, CFOs have CEOs. Sometimes they are just delivering the message.

They just need to go. I’ve had enough. Feel for the actual club, but I’m contemplating not watching if it turns into a circus of players leaving etc

The most egregious thing he said was that Benji was a great coach.
The bloke is deluded.

Definitely a numbers game - just like Burgess isn't acting alone.

Not a Dracula type, one of those new wave day walkers, harder to get rid of bloody Nora give me strength.

 

[Suzie-Q]

What does this even mean?

I reckon it means they'll be sticking their beak into footy matters, and screwing it up as well

Guys keep emailing the NRL, they are hearing you.

The rally is crucial, if you can attend please get to this event.

I don’t think losing one half of our team is the answer. We must continue to respect and honour our past but seriously have to push pass the division and ego.

Maybe HBG have to go but I don’t think having a pro Balmain (Remove the pies) approach is the answer either. We are and always will be Wests Tigers. Two battlers that joined together in order to survive. I wonder how Tommy Would feel.

That sounds like the classic symptoms of penis fingers unfortunately, you know what to expect of everything they touch.

What Paton’s quotes highlight to me is somebody is outright lying and the NRL needs to find out.

PATON in SMH:

“Now, there’s an agreement between Wests Tigers and Holman Barnes Group where certain decisions that are made need to come back to the owner for approval. That simply hasn’t been happening.

“And I can give an example of that – the stadium policy around Leichhardt Oval. So the announcement was that Leichhardt Oval would be the home of Wests Tigers for the next 15 years. The Holman Barnes Group board only found out about that with 16,000 other fans at Leichhardt Oval. Which is really bad for business, and it’s quite embarrassing really ...

JOINT STATEMENT from independent directors:

“We have at all times complied with our fiduciary duties in our roles as directors.

We reject any suggestion of a lack of communication with Holman Barnes Group. Holman Barnes Group is represented on the board of the Wests Tigers and its representative has been present at all Wests Tigers board meetings and provided with all board information. No concerns have been raised by the representative of Holman Barnes Group at any Wests Tigers board meeting in relation to governance, communication or consultation.”

…

The minutes from board meetings & written correspondence between board members should reveal all. The NRL need to obtain & forensically review these.

If minutes weren’t taken in Board meetings (which I highly doubt) then the entire Board, HBG reps & Richo may be in strife.

Hey, that's almost the line I've been using about Keith Richards for the past 20 years.

The two look the same only difference is hair colour. Kids don't do drugs you'll end up like this muppet
