HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[weststigers]

Did we really know that HBG fund grants to Balmain for junior football?

I knew that...you didn't.

You only just learned how to copy and paste. I don't want to overload you.

So after HB GOUT, who funds Balmain juniors & Wests Magpies?

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Wayne Pearce for WT chair...where is he?

 

[Chunk]

HBG MAGPIES are not "trying everything to ruin our F team".
Strange, as I didn't know we had an F team though.
An NRL team and a NSW Cup team to just name a couple.
But an F team, never heard of it 😆.

Why? What's the point of doing that.
You've been anti MAGPIE ever since I have known you, and that is a fact.

Where you once known as Yappy on the original forum?

Reminder to anyone who doesn’t want constant input from people who put WT second to another club....There is an ignore function and its actually enjoyable for me to see all the one line zingers without having to read the idiocy they respond to

100 percent true. Sad to say but the list has gotten longer in the last week. Don't mind alternate viewpoints but I can't read dribble and deliberate shite-stirring.

Easiest issue to solve out of all of them. Let me handle all that. Just focus on more productive things.

What on earth is going on, Benny burgess or edpinia, we are will and truly screwed

It has to be a joke surely choice between a turncoat or a deviant, know little to nothing about the other bloke. It just keeps getting more and more comedic by the day.

 

[Jolls]

Each to their own.

Id rather we reinvigorate interest from Wests McArthur and have them buy out HBGs share...

Wests Tigers are a true sleeping giant with the power of Wests McArthur... That's the outcome we need.

HBG have had their chance and blown it... I don't want them to make it work, it'll take them another 40 years.

That would be my preference too, but expect there will be middle ground before it gets there and the transition is likely to take time and will need to be eorked from the inside and outside concurrently.

I laughed out loud for real. So true. A whole week til another cricket match. I gotta get out of this forum and I am not alone reading the comments

Big bash starts on Sunday mate not too long of a wait to take your mind off this dribble.

For some reason I do not hate the Elias idea

He does know how to stab people in the back - good match.

If your next door neighbour owns a nice car and treats it like crap,

What can u do.??

Nrl cant control HBG if they dont run their assets poorly

Yes they can.

Stop commenting on something you know nothing about.

The NRL could revoke the license, place the club into administration (freezing out HBG) at any time.

If we went bankrupt this would happen quick smart. We're not bankrupt yet, but we will be if Wests Ashfield gets their way.

The owners are negligent, they bring the entire competition into disrepute, they devalue the entire competition they're unfit to run the club.

They couldn't even run an u13s cricket team, much less a professional sports club.

They didn't even pay for the licence in the first place, they became owners be default. The license can certainly be taken away.

We can only hope the joint venture gets shut down and a private owner gets the license with the promise of retaining the links and respecting the fans of the south west and inner west.

Even as an ex Balmain bloke,I nearly fell off my chair. Roger Rogerson would have been a better choice.

He meant John Elias.

 

[batboy]

Why would HBG appoint Elias?

You ever met an old magpie who didn't think this is a Balmain v Wests thing?
Why would the HBG board be any different?

To double down, I would claim the HBG board would be the only collection of idiots dumb enough
to think they could wash this over by appointing Ben Elias.
I don't know many Wests Tigers fans that don't despise Elias, Or who think he has a brain in his head.

 

[weststigers]

He meant John Elias.

A man who knows how to get his way. Could be the man for the job

 

[balmain boy]

if they could influence decision making for the team they love than yes, they would pay the $5 and become a member.

There are many WT members who are already mergers if Wests Ashfield.

And all you need is like 50 votes and you can get on the board at best an AGM. Nobody ever bothers about those things, it doesn't take much to get over the line if you have backing of a group of people

Correct I meant John. He is a really nice guy.

As has been mentioned. Most members are Asian pokie players...unlikely they even know this is going on

 

[batboy]

Yep. The Board appears to be more dysfunctional than I ever realised. I’ll accept that. In my opinion it took a really elite administrator to stand up to it and while the pain now is immense and I think long lasting , maybe we might finally see some significant change. I can only hope.

I still think Lee and particularly Pascoe could have ripped the bandaid off a lot sooner. They told us often things were all rosy.

I think that's why Richo walked,
They even surprised him with how clueless they are that he gave up.
To be fair,
Richo also told us how Rosy it all was... On a video, With a room full of the fkn Clowns.

Lee also commented (Verbatim, I'm sure) That one of the Directors (No guessing which one)
commented in a meeting "Lets not forget who owns the joint"
What would the point of a statement like that matter in a Wests Tigers Board meeting.

We're fkd - until Denny and his Clown show are gone,
We've got next to no chance.

Ben Elias - I feel like Ive entered the twilight zone. Great player - but surely this is pot stirring.
