HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[BAGNF05]

I'm just numb now. This HBG mob needs to be stopped.

Richo has been there for almost 2 years, the dealings with his son are not new, but it comes up right now as he's looking for a severance. Come on....

Dodgy as hell! It's not hard to draw the link. It's exactly what they did to their own directors on their board to kick them off.

NRL or L&G PLEASE STEP IN.

I used to call this club a basket case and a tyre fire regularly. I was being kind.

would everyone rather; richo stays but hbg control the board, or richo gets sacked by the nrl integrity unit but the nrl takes control of the board and hbg is cut from the club?

would rather richo gets sacked but nrl takes control of board and tries to remove hbg from club licence

I had the same question about Laundy. Would people rather he buy the club, but no Richo. Or Richo stays, but has to bow to our Ashfield overlords

But from a novice viewpoint he was the best available backup we had at the time

And probably a minimum wager.

If PVL doesn’t come after him his wife/partner might 😂

She looks pretty feisty, I reckon she could give the old bugger a good bashing.

Gross.

The chammas article looks to be deflection by HBG. I saw someone comment that Richo declared everything to the board around the conflict of interest.
HBG are so dumb.
I hope the investigation shifts gears into their own operations

Leaking to the SMH. Jeez I wonder who?

We’ll know on based on what he decides on Monday as to whether it came from them.

Everyone has praised our social media team and marketing presence these past few months? How is this a dodgy dealing by richo 🙄

I remember James Hooper suggesting something dodgy was going on with Richardson but made a quick apology after an ad break on NRL360. I honestly can’t remember what it was so if anyone does please share. Just wondering if that unreliable guy has anything to do with ‘anonymous’ complaints

 

[BAGNF05]

At least there will be lawyers and minutes involved.

The NRL need to appoint an administrator asap. Someone to take control of the joint and make the decisions which need to be made to protect the NRL's interests and ours in the inner and south west.

As someone else said, there have been eyebrow raises before on here about Richo and his son. There was Faataape, and then a couple months ago there were rumblings he was gonna sign another player from his son’s stable. Whether it’s dodgy, who knows, but it’s the first thing I thought of when it said he was being investigated.

 

[loyal wests tiger]

Wow this is getting out of control
I personally wouldn't want to be a major sponsor and we have just signed one
The HBG need to walk away
As loyal supporters we went through some pretty tough times and now to see this great club self imploding when we could see a light at the end of this very dark tunnel
The NRL must do something
I only hope the Barry O and the other sacked independent directors and richo are trying to get a buyer ASAP

 

[hank37w]

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.

I think V'landis is more than smart enough to work out that any positives that have come out of the last year would be attributed to the work that Richo and the Wests Tigers board have done and that any contribution made by the Holman Barnes group have generally acted as a brake on greater achievements that may have otherwise been possible.

We are screwed. Richo will almost certainly be gone now. It’s basically Richo stays, the 4 independent directors are reinstated, and HBG are out OR HBG stays, Richo goes and the 4 independent directors remain gone. They clearly can’t work together after this.

If HBG remain, with puppet directors on the WT board and a puppet CEO of the football club, the place will be run into the ground.

The rally will be important, but then what? We require intervention from the NRL or Liquor and Gaming. HBG aren’t going to sack themselves. They just won’t do it.

Or sell.

Can't believe the marketing team is getting pulled into this after the great year they've had!

Feel for the corporate teams within this business who still have to show up for work each day at the moment during this period - Marketing, Sales etc.

Bad for the mental health! And the resume/linkedin probably haha

I remember mentioning....not too long back...it was starting to not be a good look.
What was the last we heard about this...there was something recently but i cant recall
You'd go nuts trying to keep a timeline on every drama in this joint
