HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

Vicious said:
Do you believe BOF and the other 2 independent board members would agree to be reinstated tj a board in which they have no say in any future decision making ?
I only ask because I find that to be unbelievable.

I don't know. But it will not work 100%. We have half a board from an organisation that tried to punt the other half of our board. How can they work togeather. After what HBG did do you honestly think they will work with these independants. Also Burgess and Epifana are as guilty as sin for all this mess why wernt they forced tobe replaced with other members from HBG. If HBG are honest then they failed in their responsibilities. If HBG lied we have half a boardroom filled with people who tried to take over the joint. It can't work half way. We either have a boardroom full of HBG people which I hope never happens, or we go totally 100% independant. Trying this 50/50 garbage won't work. Half are worried about HBG concerns, half are worried about Wests Tigers concerns. We need at least another 3 independant directors to dilute HBG votes and stop independants forming voting blocks. As is the club is now in HBG control. If another independant is brought in to replace Viola then the boardroom may be in a constant stalemate if everyone just votes with their block. N.R.L should have appointed an administrator and sold the club to another entity, perhaps Wests Macarthur or Laundys bid, there would have been heaps of interest. This'll blow up again in 18 months to2 years when the independants start walking away cause theyre sick of dealing with the HBG clowns.

And what had the HBG done to earn our trust. I have no trust for that group of people. There is no accountability for their actions.

I understand that, I’m just of the belief that if PVL believes this is the best way forward they will essentially have control of 90% of the NRL licence but, will have strict guidelines in regards to any decisions made and will be at the scrutiny of BOF and the other 2 independent board members.
It makes no sense to me why they would agree to return unless the odds are heavily in their favour, regardless of the board room numbers.

Honestly, I think PVL thought this would appease the fans. That this would be enough to stop the Rally.

It's not enough though and I for one will be there supporting the Wests Tigers this weekend.

If it blows up again they will lose the NRL licence, I thought PVL’s statement made that quite clear.

Not quite yet.

HBG have won 5 seats on the board. But the independents are back. I think all 4 of them will sit and dignify themselves with a year or two. ... on a board they will probably be over-rulled by.

HBG havent though faced US, the fans. We want some damn answers over this mess and Denis Burgess can answer to us.


WE need a good showing so that HBG will actually think twice before doing anything this stupid again.

I don't know mate, I just figure if the N.R.L had a real appetite to take the license they would have. They might follow through but I would have thought that if the N R.L were as concerned as they make out to be they would have done something to dilute the HBG boardroom influence, they may be on a really tight leash, but I just fail to see how the N.R.L has done anything other than reward poor behaviour by giving HBG a majority say in a boardroom that is supposed to be independant.

Benji has until the end of 2027. That’s sufficient right now.

The extension would appear to me to be damage control as he’s popular among fans.

Many reports that the board has on the table a 2029 extension and are strongly considering it.

Look don't get me wrong, he deserves-ish 2026, He has till 2027 to prove something.
I am not sold on 2028 and suddenly were talking an extension till 2029!

Too much too soon.

Both sides feed the media, I’m very careful about which reports to believe.

What about BOF and the 2 other independent board members.
Do you have a theory on why they have agreed to come back if they are just going to be outvoted on every decision ?
 
BAGNF05 said:
You’re asking them to predict the future though.

Maybe they’re happy to wait and see.

Plenty of us aren’t.

I am not asking them to predict anything, they have supposedly agreed to come back.
To suggest they agreed to be reinstated to a board in which they will always be outvoted and have no say, is questioning their intelligence.

Maybe they are not sure how HBG noms will vote. None of us are really.

But our suspicions and HBG’ history is the reason we call BS.

Like I said earlier, if I think a mobile car is heading towards my young kid, I ain’t waitin’
