HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

I get accused of being apathetic more often than not, and that's probably reasonably accurate.

I think everyone has a point. Some people get really worked up, some people read something & rage, some people look at things & wonder what difference it really makes.

What tends to happen is that 'debate' gets lost in the attempt to be more right.

Like I've said- if taking little shots at me makes people feel good- go for it. I don't care really. I read everyone's view. I'll thumbs up guys I disagree with 99% of the time if they make a point that gets me thinking.

Or makes me laugh.

Every side has a point. We all want to win games.

There are some very well intentioned people in here I believe that get REALLY REALLY emotional - and more power to them I guess.

Just be aware I'll probably be chuckling at the froth coming out the corner of your mouth as you yell a lot.

He also said he would only be here if there were true independent directors on the board.
They aren’t …and now either is he.
Hard to fly like an eagle if you’re surrounded by turkeys.

Fair call.
I was as excited as any other Wests Tigers fan when the news of Richo joining us first filtered through.
Yes he’s had a great long term record in the game, but that has always been as a club CEO,never as a recruitment manager or salary cap manager.
He lost me long before all this recent drama eventuated, I just think he’s become too egotistical, has demanded far too much money and has taken on too many roles.
This does not detract on the major issues with the current clique within HBG.

Why do you hate the future?

You do realise that having our NSW Cup team as Wests magpies is a recent change and will need only temporary?

We are one club, Wests Tigers.

Nothing else matters.

Unless you're a devout follower of junior reps, in which nothing changes.

So he might make a Jesus like return if PVL delivers an outcome he’s happy with ?
I reckon that could be in the cards.

Richo told me his fate was up to the NRL and fans a few days ago.

If we can get thousands to march on Saturday there should be enough noise to at least temporarily block HBG grim having any control over the club.

Richo specifically said when he left that he could not work with the HBG board any longer. That's essentially it. If they're not around then he can get back to work.

Love your passion, but the NSW Cup stuff is a side show at this point.

Obviously it's not as Paramount as removing HBG.

But It's not really a sideshow.

It's a symbol of Unity. That everyone at Wests Tigers is on the same page. That everyone associated with Wests Tigers wants Wests Tigers to be successful.

No more Balmain vs Magpies nonsense.

Smart operators life Sheen's and Richo see this. HBG refuse. They are not committed to Wests Tigers.

I understand that but what did he think putting a time limit on a decision from PVL was going to achieve ?
PVL was never going to bow down to his timeframe demands and like always will do things at his own pace when he is ready.
Richo knows via emails and messages that he has the unwavering support from a huge amount of Wests Tigers supporters, surely he could have waited a few more weeks for them if for nobody else.

Yeah but no point throwing that grenade in right now. Let's just get rid of HBG first. The rest will follow with them out of the way.

What a stupid comparison. Two teams from interstate. Seriously 😒 🙄

Why is it a stupid comparison?
They could easily fund a feeder club with the same name as their NRL team if they wanted to, but obviously don’t believe it’s an important matter.
For some it’s a meaningless argument, for others it’s an important part of the glue to try and keep the club united, so why not just leave it as it is unless there is an exceptionally good reason to change.

Ideally yes. I would have preferred he hung in there a bit longer as of course the NRL was never going to step in within a few days.

Or he felt that for the NRL to step in the club needs to hit rock bottom and for the board to dismiss someone successful like him was a symbol that hope was lost and rock bottom is around the the corner.
