HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Tom Shines]

Look no disrespect to the people you are mentioning, replacing Richo with Meilekamp is a huge step backwards and are you seriously suggesting replacing a premier and a person with experience on the boards of the Australian Paralympics and Swimming Australia who is also a prominent young lawyer with 2 footballers?

I think Skando and Galea have a lot to offer but are a step backwards.

I note Chammas was skeptical of the rally achieving anything … also said that the NRL can’t do anything about the HBG ownership .. Assune you don’t agree ?….

 

[weststigers]

Yes- but he resigned.

And there's some chance the NRL might have something to say about what he was doing.

Now- it's a viable option for everyone to look back at their calendar to last week & think nice thoughts. Or...shrug your shoulders & move on.

The club has to find someone new.

I think Mielekamp is the best option at this time.

In all seriousness - the shoulder shrugging is a good strategy when management has done a good job over a long period...I think we've all done that in the past and our shoulders are a bit sore on this one.

No now is the time to rip in finally get the club we deserve.

The people who fill his gossip columns would tell him to say that.

Regardless of whose side he is on … I’m interested if the NRL can actually do anything in respect of HBG?

So you mean Leo Epifania played 23 games for Wests, HBG debenture holder, one time assistant coach of Italy and was GM of Wests Cup side from 2015 according to Wiki but,.... not a HBG board member according to their website?

That's the one. I think the reps are actually technically split between 1 HGB and 1 Wests Magpies (Leo), but I did see a prior poster mention that he had joined the debenture holders too.

He’s been anti-Richo from the start.

Moses and Lee obviously butter his toast.

They can absolutely do something. They've done it with us before and they've done it with the Titans as 2 notable examples.

No point getting angry about it. If some people feel better popping off on me about stuff, go to town. Pretty sure I've not reacted to any of it.

Anger is a useful emotion sometimes, its one of the great motivators

In saying that you conduct yourself well here

You're going to want the war paint & getting off the couch thing again, aren't you?

 

[The Chad]

It WOULD free up my Saturday though.

I do have a comfortable couch

When we were broke… ( or Balmain was ) … that’s not the case here

If Brian Fletcher, the ex Penrith CEO is available, then surely it’s a no brainer? But I’m loathed to give Jareth and his mates advice. Plus, I don’t think it’s about who the best candidate is. It’s about who will kowtow and do their bidding.

I actually believe if the Nrl do appoint an administrator he would be the guy they go after. V’landys is head hunting him to run the ATC.

There you go guys

NRL wont do jack
Regulators is this country wont do jack

Its game over.

 

[The Chad]

With an exit statement that indicated fully that he’s not left the game.

But it was pretty exact about leaving the Tigers though

If Chammy said so I guess we’re cooked, call it off, someone email him and apologise for stalking his Instagram account. Tell the lawyers the independent directors and Richo are crooked. Ask PVL to stop investigating, he’ll only find trophies in our cabinet.

I think Chammas has some relationships with HBG, as he was going pretty soft and had those cracks at Richo.

NRL can definitely do something as they hold the right to the license, but the devil is in the contract there. It might be that they have grounds to pull it now, or they might need to wait till renewal. But they certainly should have leverage to force HBG hand to do things. Just not to sell.

Don't get me wrong- I appreciate the pasion you bring to the table. And no doubt, you have been witness to things I have not been. And you seem pretty well connected too.

But realistically, HBG is going to appoint a new set of board members & hire a new CEO regardless of what the fans say.

What I'm hoping for is that....they continue exploring some kind of 'independent leadership', however that is achieved. And that the new CEO is not only competent, but works well with Benji.

And, if it gives the majority share holders some peace of mind that they are not being overlooked, but it also works in favour of the club- that'd be great.

Until HBG are NOT majority shareholders, they will get a large say in how it is run.

Mate … you gotta live in reality sometimes … even when someone says something negative about the situation …

Chammas is back on the NRL media gravy train now
