HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Mate, love your work. You guys had any communication with N.R.L head office, any updates you could share. Also another thing we could all do. With all the changes maybe the jersey will be changed maybe it won't but either way when ever someone's wearing one to a game put black electrical tape over the old balmain logo and Magpie logo if they put it on the sleeve to cover them up as a show of our loyalty purely to Wests Tigers.

Great idea! Don't forget there are 3 Magpies and 1 Tiger, and 1 Wests Tiger

It's an interesting thing to unpack what it looks like in a post restoration world and I think the most likely scenario is the Magpies are just even worse than Wests Tigers for reasons you said here.

If Wests Tigers fold the Macarthur needs a team but they'd be better off with a brand new one than a HBG owned Magpies.

are HBG really interested in Campbelltown? I don’t know but plenty say otherwise …it’s interesting to me that the NSW Cup team with Magpies branding play out of Lidcombe …if HBG had ambitions to build a brand in Campbelltown you would have thought they’d be playing there …

I don’t think anyone here knows their obligations under the NRL licensing agreement. The league hands them ~$13 million per annum to run a successful football club. They haven’t done that in 15 years.

BAGNF05 you want your jaw to hit the floor since 2010 Wests Tigers have received about $164 million in club grant money from the N.R.L. All we have is a 💩show to show for it.

Gus would move on the territory like that.

Half of it probably paid out to quality coaches and players when they left the joint. Ivan and Madge having a laugh this week.

Everyone should just cover up the Magpie and old balmain tiger logo on the jerseys. Shows HBG, Balmain, N.R.L and rusted on dinosaurs we don't give a toss about anything else but our Wests Tigers who we love. If on a Sunday there's 15,000 people at 4pm on Leichardt ill and it's packed and everyone's Magpie and old balmain tiger logo are covered up, imo sends a pretty strong message where we as a fan base stand.

Pretty sure it's the reason Wests Campbelltown cashed out of the merger, they were always having issues with HBG. Pretty sure at that time they were still Wests Ashfield.

My memory is that Wests Campbelltown didn’t want to keep paying 10 percent of the bills back when the Football club was broke … i don’t recall them and HBG having specific issues … Maybe I’ve just forgotten .,,it was a long time ago….

I thought it was a very stock standard statement.
I’d say it was pulled because he mentioned Richo had their full support. Given developments that followed re’ the integrity unit investigation, HBG are sensibly watering down that position until more is known.

HBG took it down because the 3 independant board members who were removed lawyered up and took offence to HBG saying they had issues in communicating.

One of them threatened Steve with physical violence earlier in the week.

I was just chatting with ink and was saying that they have tried to intimidate me to stop me going to lidcombe in the past. Had guys come up and start abusing me at lidcombe.

I still go but can't take my daughter to games there as it isn't a safe or pleasant environment for her.

Mate that is absolutely disgraceful behaviour towards you and Steve.

Just goes to show how low and gutless some people are.
 
The NRL must consider whether the WTs under existing arrangements is the entity capable of carrying forward its aspirations for the South West growth area to be the flagship of league. The potential is enormous but we need men and woman with drive and vision to work as a team to make league the number one sport for boys and girls in the growth areas. Richardson, councils in the inner west and Campbelltown plus Benji all contributed to stadium upgrades, the new COE with UWS and improved off field performance. Mr PVL, make the correct call and take back the license and administer the WTs until a new owner can be identified with the drive and vision to make WTs fulfill its potential.

They were very disparaging and slanderous comments made against the independents which could have damaged their professional reputations.

It’s also completely absurd as well given HBG had two reps on the board, one of which is their chairman.

There’s really no coming back from the comments and rationale they gave. It was a weak as piss reason to sack the independents, shows a complete inability to manage or resolve (alleged) issues by HBG, and how out of touch and deranged the debenture holders and HBG board members are.

The fact that HBG have cited communication issues as a reason for sacking the independents, and not notifying the independents of being sacked before briefing the media is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

Is this feasible?

Richo resigns
Nrl hire Richo in Jason King's old position
Nrl appoint an administrator... Richo

???

Neither myself or anyone here knows what will happen ,,,

Having said that …I can’t imagine Richo walking away with a seven figure payout …then returning to the club to be an NRL administrator?
