HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[weststigers]

Everyone hates me lol.

You're becoming Chad. Straight answers please. I'm not as intelligent as you.

 

[cochise]

But we did leave it behind.

We have moved on to HBG Out & rallies & the end is nigh.

If a perfectly reasonable reason for the actions comes out tomorrow- will anyone even care now?

Why weren't more questions asked of HBG, Richo & even PVL now that he has stepped in?

You are all raging. But, you're raging in the dark.

Not raging, just demanding accountability.

 

[Merlot]

I keep telling you it’s not over … why are thousands showing up on Saturday ?

why wouldn't we

 

[GNR4LIFE]

We ask Dennis but he demanded to play his new song.

What? Why wouldn’t you let him? If it’s anything like his song on The Footy Show, it would be an absolute banger.

 

[cochise]

After speaking to everybody involved, I would like to think PVL knows exactly what the problems are and would know much more about the situation than any of our fans.

Im happy to trust the 2 gentlemen that conducted the review and their recommendations for change at the club.

Recommendations that were having a positive effect on this footy club.

I say no to a HBG majority board.

 

[The Chad]

Disagree. Dealing in hypotheticals but without the significant fan backlash HBG would of acted with impunity and Vlandy's would not have felt compelled to intervene. Keep the pressure up, maintain the rage, who knows what else might happen? Beats simply rolling on your back IMO

I don't want to contribute to a pile on, but I believe if you make a point, particularly a contrary point you need to be prepared to explain it, which you are on multiple fronts - credit to you

Thank you.

To my point- we don't know how HBG would have been going forward.

The NRL negotiated a compromise it seems. If they hadn't, at no point had HBG actually said they disagreed with the independent board member structure- just that the board hadn't been transparent with them (not debating the validity of that here). There is a CHANCE that HBG might have hired independents to the board themselves.

We simply do not know for sure.

 

[cochise]

At the risk of sounding like I'm asking the same questions- how do we know that?

This is not defending HBG- but what if the NRL heard both sides & went....right, this is how to fix this going forward.

Then I don't agree.

 

[The Chad]

He can watch me on Saturday and draw his own conclusions

If I see you on the news in cuffs...

its a Ranga (ginger) complex they have , lol

Everyone hates me lol.

I think it would be in HBG's best interests to join the Pod

Not everyone

We offered them a spot over a week ago. I believe he will come on but don't think he will be interviewed by me.

 

[The Chad]

Then I don't agree.

You seem to know them much better than most.

 

[weststigers]

You say that.

But as it stands they now hold control over the board after PVL stepped in.

And Richo is out.

So it kind of looks like they got their way at this point.

I'm hoping that the olive branch is extended and another independent gets added, or as Demps suggested, one of HBG steps down, to balance the board.

You rage on though if it helps.

Seeing as we're giving alternative viewpoints. Sounds like PVL was in on it all along?

Soft...he's not winning over any fans with those shenanigans

To be honest- that's fair. I wouldn't want to feel like I'm walking into an ambush myself (as I'm learning lately).

Not saying that would be your intent. Just that he might feel it was.

Regardless- them reaching out & answering questions could solve a lot of issues.

 

[tigertragic]

And yet, they are now majority board members.

And how did they get to be the majority board members. Hmmm good question

Do they ‘own’ HBG - yes/no
Were they voted in by the members - yes/no
Did they obtain their position by paying a nominal amount to join a closed group of self interest - yes/no

Can someone please put what’s going on , in plan English , I can’t go back throw all the ins and outs , so if someone can please just put it in plan English, I would be very happy

 

[Vicious]

Everyone hates me lol.

I don’t agree with a lot of your opinions, but nobody can doubt your love for Wests Tigers or dedication to a cause you believe in.
I won’t be attending Saturdays march/rally and that’s not disrespecting what you or any other passionate Wests Tigers fan believes in.
It’s obvious to me you genuinely believe in the cause you are fighting for and I think the vast majority of people on this forum also genuinely believe in the cause they are fighting for, so you all have my support and respect even though I don’t necessarily agree with you.
All I ask is to please further investigate the terms and guidelines that have been instructed by PVL and I assume agreed to be the returning independent board members.
Do we genuinely know if Benji and the players are happy for continued supporter angst or if they would prefer the clubs supporters try to get past their boardroom issues for the good of the rugby league team moving forward ?
