HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Bruiser]

Yep, he is like a fart in an elevator, keeps on lingering around.

No point having Burgess on the same board as BOF and the independents that would be courting disaster right from the outset.
Let's face it Denny's acumen, wisdom and integrity....amounts to Nil, if he stayed on the WT Board he would need the hide of an elephant whilst making zero contribution.

You need to wake up and open your mind, bra. Unlike you, they are woke. They consider things that people like you can't consider, because they are woke. Wake up man, open your eyes 😜.

The HBH business model relies on people ruining their lives via poker machine addiction.. so it's no wonder that when it comes to the football club, they apply the same strategy; cause destruction whilst serving their own self interest.

Is it because they are woke or a case of grown adults being habitual drug users?

I don't have the answers, but like some, I can't offer fact based opinions, just frame questions which force someone to answer endlessly. They call it "an alternative viewpoint".

Guess who is fielding a team in NSW cup in 26?

I could say something like, "that's something a successful club would do,"
but nah, I won't bother. 🤣

When are you dude's going to realise and understand that HBG are entitled to have the no. of board members they have.
They own 90% of WT's and it doesn't matter how you spin it-it is what it is.

When are you going to learn that the HBG debenture governance system is not going to fly for much longer now that they are being publicly exposed for their misuse of this archaic governance system.

Once the powers that be (eg Liquor & Gaming and NRL) open their eyes to this blatant abuse of power which is clearly happening as we all talk shit and as the old saying goes “squeaky wheel gets the oil”

Stick your head in the sand and believe that your mob has absolute power and it won’t change but we will see who has the last laugh and that is going to be the WESTS TIGERS fans.

Reportedly WT board, not HBG board where he is chairman.

Right, thanks LegendTO.

Except they have no idea they are doing.

 

[Wests Tigers]

@user118245 take note

😂 what to?

 

[magpies forever]

Cash talks and $12m of NRL money means the NRL has influence.

Old as the hills adage but oh so true. $$$$ always talks.

 

[The Chad]

Dennis has quit

Best decision for all involved.

 

[Tom Shines]

The good news - Burgo is out …

But I suspect he will be replaced by his wife ..

 

[EllisFan]

@user118245 take note

What’s this about mate?

Perhaps an Only Fans correspondent could be parachuted in?

 

[diedpretty]

those balmain sides were stacked by sheens with some players while magpies were not.
stupid
25 years on move on
one club wests tigers
wests tigers in nsw cup in the old magpies black and white jersey

A lot of the magpies hatred towards Wests Tigers came from what Sheens did - stacked Balmain with NRL players and let Wests run with park footballers. Some of the scores against them were atrocious. Balmain put 88 and 76 on them. They had 50+ put on them 18 times and had a differential of minus 1100. And then you wonder why Wests see themselves as disrespected in the JV

Whose idea was it to hire Sheens and who approved it?

 

[PrattenParkMagpie]

Wests Magpies?

Are we sure about that at this point, certainly the Melbourne Storm will be.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I’m a former Cheso boy and can’t see anything he’s doing right now at HBG as good.

He's a big Leeds fan also he's in a Leeds FB group im in spoken a few times mostly about Leeds mind you some Wests Tigers but seemed like a decent fella but was very one eyed Maggie.
Im from Berala few of us seem to be knocking around from those stomping grounds, miss going to Thai pak 😀

I get that but it us a good reason why it shoykd always have been one reserve grade team.
Now 25 years on, unity should prevail
balmain and magpies should both be dead

 

[NT_Tiger]

I lost an old jacket, I think it was actually stolen. It had been my grandfathers bus driver jacket and it was my favourite even though it was beat up with holes in it.
Anyway, I moved on. I still think about it from time to time when I need a jacket, but Ive got a new jacket and it does the job.
As time goes by you let go of things that once were incredibly important. I guess that is called maturity.

 

[supercoach]

If Iwas running the joint everything would be branded Weststigers. All teams from junior reps through to the top grade would be the Weststigers. The only exception would be once a year when they played a home game against Manly they would wear the magpie strip and once a year when they played a home game against Souths they would wear the Balmain strip. Every other game they would be branded Weststigers.
