Mate that is my exact point and I completely agree with the points you make.
The board members at HBG and the HGB reps on the Wests Tigers act on their own personal interest which is to use the club as a means to re-live the glory days and for status.
When they can’t exert control over either they throw their toys out of the cot, backstab anyone with competence because they don’t want to be personally shown up, and create chaos in the media that reflects poorly on both HBG and the Wests Tigers.
The [This word has been automatically removed]ed thing is they don’t care because their selfishness and delusion doesn’t allow them to see the destruction their actions cause. Because to them it’s about extraction. It’s about what they can gain personally from this scenario and their insatiable appetite to stroke their own ego.
That’s what I mean by self-interest. We need a club first mentality and that has never been the case at the Wests Tigers (albeit for a brief period under the independent board and Richo).
Don’t mean to sound combative towards you too because I completely agree with everything you just said.
