HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Vicious]

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

Who 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.

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.

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.

Of course, there is that elephant in the room of the investigation into his actions while at the club...

 

[weststigers]

That would be entertaining, wouldn't it?

A rouse within a riddle disguised with tomfoolery.

But I don't know much about that kind of thing.

That's one thing we can be confident about.

What I do know is you've managed to turn everyone against you in 2 days except the forum rejects. That is quite an accomplishment. 😅 Word going round is you got no spirit...is it true?

Could be? I wouldn't know.

To be fair, it won't be much different from hearing how little I know about football in general. Which is fine too.

At least I achieved something. And all I had to do was not agree with the hysteria. And offer alternative views.

And get everyone watching out for Russell Smith.

It is interesting though.

In 2 days I've been called naive, foolish, an idiot, a moron (self imposed), inexperienced, told that someone rarely agrees with anything I say (ouch), an apologist, 'head in the clouds' & a drug taker, a lemming & kool-aid drinker, apathetic (liked that one TBH), a fence sitter (not joining into a war I believe), not funny (that was just rude...) etc, etc...

That's just 2 days.

And all I really did was not show my support for a rally, not put the boot into HBG & asked a few questions of the statements being made (yes, often in a contrarian type manner- can't help myself). Also, pointing out that Richo is being investigated. And asking what Balmain bring to the joint venture.

But I'm not dishing out any kind of abuse, in fact, going out of my way not to.

Yet people on here are so worked up about things, they feel it's ok to do exactly as they have done.

And then "Wests Magpies Old Stooges" like BZN etc cop it even worse for having a different take again.

I'm not complaining. I find it interesting. I find it interesting that the people doing it- good people I assume- think it's sweet.

Am I bringing it upon myself? Sure. I will not disagree that I'm saying things people don't want to read.

But maybe before we start popping off on each other for opinions, maybe someone might read this & think...."oh yeah, I said that"...

Now, let's see who tells me to unbunch my panties & that I'm a Magpies apologist first...

Not sure about the hysteria comment. I think people have put up with enough. It's literally been 10 years straight.

It might sound simple, but when people are putting their hand in their pocket, getting their kids involved and supporting the club, they deserve to be treated with a bit more respect. It starts and finishes there for me.

Look...we already knew that.

You should relax and unbunch your panties and stop being such a Magpies apologist. Everyone knows you're a Balmain apologist.

There are three things that this forum is famous for….
Hyperbolic, sycophantic praise, vicious pile-ons and that it is a hive mind.
It doesn’t take much to get it going. Just stray from the accepted narrative at the time…..

 

[mtd#2]

Shaun Mielekamp will replace Richo
Will be announced tmw

 

[hank37w]

I cancelled a membership mid year a while back.. they would only do it once i returned my dodgy shit merch . HAHAH.. can you believe that.

Best of luck to all the long suffering members that burnt their merch after the disgraceful stunt that HBG have just pulled off.

 

[Spartan117]

If he was in for the crocodile roll surely he could have given it a few more weeks to see if PVL intervenes,
I think he saw the dollar signs and has left us stranded, but I know many don’t agree so I’ll leave it at that.

Fantastic work with idiots mate.

Clearly HBG are more interested in themselves than the club.

They sacked 4x directors who each had significant skills and standing for their own sakes.

When will the older fans wake up.and recognise that HBG ront care about the performance of the Wests Tigers like we do

I struggle to understand what the NRL can do legally. It’s an ownership issue. Not an NRL licence issue.

The only regulator I can see maybe having influence is Liquor and Gaming.

These were highly coincidental and most would come to the same conclusion that the allegations were fabricated

Your smug amusement and voice of reason comments were designed to irritate and get a reaction and have done just that - just like you knew they would when people are triggered.

And you end off with an invitation to come at you again. Please ...attention seeking much.

Thank goodness for the ignore button.
