One of the most speculative 'news reports' I've read in a while

 

[weststigers]

They absolutely removed the independent board members. For reasons that they seem to believe are reasonable (which unless you like circles- we'll agree have been covered).

What they have not done or said is- the independent board member model doesn't work.

As I asked for the last couple of days- if 4 new independents & a new CEO are put in place, is the hysteria warranted?

Yes. Because it doesn't stop what just happened happening again.

One of the most speculative 'news reports' I've read in a while

It might be speculative but from the outside looking in what was done last week is proof our majority owners are incompetent when it comes to running an N.R.L franchise. No one, no other club no matter how poorly run or how in the dark they were, if they were, would have come close to doing what HBG board did. There were ample other options that could have been taken. They could have very easily set up a conference call between the two boards, a meeting anything. They chose to blow the joint up.

What you again fail to understand is the majority aren't Balmain people, Balmain are not the solution, they are part of the problem.

We are Wests Tigers people, we love the Wests part of our name. The debenture holders due not own the Wests Tigers, the hbg directors do not own the Wests Tigers, they are custodians only and have failed in that role.

I’m confused. You say « we love the Wests part of our name » Does that mean you don’t care for the Tigers part of our name? How can you be a committed fan of our team, the Wests Tigers? And you say Balmain is part of the problem; do you also mean Wests are part of the problem ? Or just Balmain? Is there a Magpie hiding in the woodpile?

 

[Tito Santana]

Thanks Chad, but we knew that

My message to Wests Magpies supporters because you can’t rename our club.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Marshall to be offered a contract extension till end of 29 is a sure sign HBG is feeling the blow torch from supporters and the NRL.

Cochise is a passionate WTs' supporter. I take it to mean we should be proud of our heritage but need to be unified in our support for WTs. I am a huge Balmain supporter but know the future is WTs. Many youngsters from the inner west and Campbelltown and Macarthur support only WTs.

Black and Gold never folds.

Thanks ! I guess I’m seeing negative conspiracies everywhere now. I can’t believe this is happening to our club.

Good post. I am of the view it was worse than incompetence.

Tigers make call on Benji Marshall’s future

Is this a sign of things to come for the club?

Story's evolving quick because HBG have realised they f'd up royally.

Hope he says , I’ll think about it, no rush to sign

 

[hugh1954]

As long as we get rid of *The Hair*

 

[pawsandclaws1]

With the possibility the playing group will follow him out the door.

Without having a democratically elected board the club will always be in danger of self destruction and little chance of long term success. Even if they come up with a peace plan for their lastest actions, another explosion is just around the corner.

The HBG have to get through their thick skulls, it’s not their club, it’s the fans and members and they have the responsibility to make sure it is run successfully and legally.

Anyway while they have the current debenture system I have very little trust in them

I’m sure your independent board didn’t include including the dismissed chairman that was previously unacceptable to HBG due to his ‘suggested’ lack of communication - complete bozo’s in charge

 

[NT_Tiger]

Another placard idea.

Gang!

Contrarians gotta contrary?

Or close to HBG?

It would benefit both HBG and the NRL if the former concentrated on what it does best in running Wests Leagues and leaving the running of the WTs to another entity selected by the NRL.

Where's @Vicious ?

Probably in foetal position sucking his thumb.

We had 4 good directions, a chairman and one of the bst CEOs already before the HBG politicians blew it up.

We're tarnished yet again.

FACT. We are worse off because of HBG yet again

And it looks like they might be reinstating at least one of those board members… so I assume they are admitting that they were wrong to act that in that manner ? Or do you still want to wait for further information that supports their initial actions? That isn’t coming Im tipping ..

Hysteria … from whom .., the media?

What’s to stop them removing 4 new independents in a months time under similar dubious circumstances?
