HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Tom Shines]

Most recently it was all the in-fighting and knifing each other. Google it and I’m sure there’s a stack more. It gives them a profile that board members at a club wouldn’t normally have and I think they probably feel a sense of importance. Bit like old mate Lee and his constantly calling others insignificant and such.

I’m talking about things that may not be related to board room knife fights … Denny has a long and colourful career in the music industry that long predates the football business

Putting the club and and the nrl into disrepute, memberships being cancelled, bad press, upset fans, possible issues with player re-signings.....
Do you personally believe they have a good enough reason for all the chaos?

PVL has stated that his main “concern is for the fans.”

If game attendances remain high then the NRL will probably cheer on HBG for a job well done.

Fair point. Maybe he’s clinging to that relevance he once had. I’ve never followed his music so don’t know what he did. Most WT supporters probably the same.

I get the vibe Richo will stick around. I doubt he’ll pike out after the work he’s put in.

Yes it's been reported last night he said this to one of the pod guys... its looking like hes staying

Good news eh

I don’t either … but most musos of that period would likely have a few skeletons in their closet …

Believe it when I hear from him.

I've just had a trawl through old Denny's Instagram and it checks out. He follows a tonne of women that would be half (if not younger) his age. Many of which have links to only fans pages on their profile.

Some of the videos he has reposted are quite lewd. One contains a woman putting a bottle deep into her mouth in a suggestive manner. And another openly references sexual acts.

Is this how we get him? Write to the Holman Barnes Group and the club and demand someone who has such an online presence as old deviot Denny be removed from all positions of responsibility immediately.

Outrage will outperform governance every day of the week in 2025

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….

Where have I ever written (let alone “yelled”)
that I’m hard done by?

Some of my views would appear to buck the echo chamber nature of the forum - but hey, that’s an issue for the trigger-tots to deal with. I’m comfortable either way (hence why I keep coming back with my 20 cents worth).

I have been criticised by one or two on here for not opening up enough with my views. Being guarded or too diplomatic. And of course when I do candidly offer my thoughts I’m criticised by one or two more. Such is life 🤷‍♂️

“Second hand embarrassment” and “sled awareness” ???
You’ll have to elaborate on these claims. The embarrassment is obviously something for you to deal with and it would seem to be way too hot for sleds (although Santa seems to cope).

What’s he going to do, release a press statement announcing he’s not quitting?

Hopefully he will shine a light on some organisational issues which are putting some lead in our saddle bags.

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

You haven't. You want your emblem back, and screw the last 25 years.

Where have I said I “want my emblem back” ?

All I’ve said on the matter is that it works for me either way 👍

I’ve also said (over & over), the club is not reverting to the Wests Magpies.

What’s he possibly going to say,

“You know how I was adamant I would only work under a Board with good governance, well there’s nothing to see here” 😂

I can’t see how he stays.

 

[tigertragic]

Over the however many post since Monday the constant I see is the majority

Support Wests Tigers (not wests or Balmain)

Support Richo/Benji

Want a truly independent WT board working in the best interests of Wests Tigers

Do not think HBG have the best interests of WT in their constant boardroom turmoil and decisions.

Yeah, agree. We need to act with our feet in protest next year if nothing changes

He also gets to walk away now with two years pay supposedly

He’s better than that.

Great summary. Id add one more and say that HBG board does not prioritise the best interests of their members in their decision making.

 

[Vicious]

Your assumption is that the board knew nothing of important decisions being made and therefore all independent members should be sacked for not knowing?
How often does the board get together?

There is no doubt certain decisions were being made by Richo and BOF without them bringing it up at board level.
Honestly you are living in a fantasy world of you cannot acknowledge that has almost certainly happened.
It should not happen and it is not normal business practice for it to work like this.
HOWEVER it is also very obvious the current HBG would be nightmare do deal with.
Richo’s patience would have been severely tested and it’s likely the HBG were deliberately making things difficult and virtually forcing Richo via BOF to make executive decisions without consulting them.
Do two wrongs make a right ?
Regardless of what went down there is no doubt sinister ulterior motives from HBG that have manipulated this situation and they cannot be that stupid to not be well aware it was going to cause a massive uproar by dismissing the 4 independent board members.

Branding is never Trivial. It’s the most’critical communication tool. Marketing is why you choose the car you drive , the céréal you eat and the team you stick with.
The Joint Venture is a
Case study in what not to do.
Successivé Managements have demonstrated galactic stupidity for two décades. To be arguîng at this stage about how much orange is in a jersey is pathetic and embarrassing. It’s not just old fart die hards who are responsible for this travesty. Everyone who drew a salary under false prétences and failed to exploit the passion and loyalty of the fans and athlètes to serve the Tigers brand is to blame. The Tiger is an apex prédator in the wild. It is predominantly black and gold on top ànd underneath it is white in near équal measure. To all you clueless nincompoops, the Tigers are going nowhere. Deal with it.

The events of the past week had ZERO to do with the colour of the jersey. I personally think it looks hideous - but none of the Board shenanigans are in any way tied to this fashion faux pas.

But hey, every time the Wests Ts hit the headlines - the usual Wests/Balmain tropes and myths are unleashed 🙄
