HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[BZN]

Funny that, I remember reading that the petition wouldn't do anything, then funnily enough lo and behold the independant board members were installed under the recommendation of the review. In 10 days 4 board members were sacked. After that the fan and media pressure has had all 4 reinstated apart from Viola due to his choosing not no return. Our chair return, N.R.L threaten to take the club and place it into administration, Dennis Burgess a permanent fixture called out and step down from the board. Asic may yet investigate, I'm assuming now HBG will be under the N.R.L microscope. All because of the media and fan pressure and backlash. As soon as Burgess stepped down it was a sign HBG knew they screwed up royally. They've now shown they're vulnerable to pressure, another sign is as soon as it was leaked they were eyeing out Brad Arthur, players came out to back Benji they gave him an extension till 2030, another sign that they can't handle scrutiny and pressure. All from the fans and media. Don't underestimate what can or can't be achieved through a simple group of like minded people connected through a common cau

I'm not. A few people on here have copped nothing but snide remarks or outright abusive posts for days under the umbrella of "it's an emotive topic".

Everyone has an opinion. But there's a mob mentality being allowed to run roughshod over anyone that doesn't agree.

I'm not about trying to get people banned or whatever. But at some point- we're all supporters of the same team.

And we don't all have to think alike.

This isn't even a shot at the people writing the questionable commentary.

I just noticed some bad and misleading wording in my post no. 6870 in this thread to you.
I said at the end of my post..."you'll be able to put a face behind the name of the person you've been abusing constantly".
That was definitely not directed at you.
I meant it as a general comment covering everyone that went to the rally and was supposed to be humorous.
MY APOLOGIES TO YOU as you would be the least likely person on here to be abusive to anyone.

"The reason you get banned is because you take too much acid and come on here and have hallucinations for all and sundry to see.

Get some help."

This is an acceptable way to discuss things on the board.

G'day Chad...only a few mins. ago I sent you an apology for misleading wording in a post in reply to yours.
Then I turned the page and I noticed post 6863 about someone being banned...was that directed at me? 🤔 as I have been banned from here a few times.

Slow Learner then?

Does Dennis have grandkids?

More than he knows about probably

Fallah is a very unserious individual on social media. All he does is post memes. Very out of character to see him fire up like that.

Have you seen the memes though? Pretty low-brow.

This is almost starting to sound like the Denny "I am not responsible for my own social media accounts" argument.

 

[BZN]

Don't worry about it. You'll still have your opinion. No one can take that away from you.

Hmmm...a little bit condescending maybe 🤔.

Is/was there a WT board meeting today as reported last week

Absolutely. I pointed out a few days ago, if people had an issue with Burgess, they’d have a field day with Fallah. Misogyny in everything he posts.

Excellent post Chad, in highlighting what happens on here, and it's a real pity.

And isn't he a high school teacher?

Yeah. Endeavour Sports High last I heard.

If I walked into Israel and started reciting Mein Kampf, I think my perception of what constitutes an enjoyable experience would change too.

You'd better be careful wt.
I got a suspension from here for simply asking a poster "are you Jewish" in a non-threatening way and gave that poster the reason I was asking.

Dread to see who comes in next, the NRL should have a representative to report back, keep the HBG fools in line.

Who and why are the HBG fools and why do they need to be kept in line?

 

[BZN]

Only a matter of time before Mielekamp disrespects the Wests side of the merger despite them owning 90%!

Why would he do that wt?

The sacking of the board was foolish @BZN . At worst, it was against the Constitution and set us back 5-10 years reputationally. At best, it was an absolute amateur way to resolve a conflict and damaged our brand unnecessarily.

Judging them fools and trying to limit these actions in the future ("keeping in line") is a fair response here.

I watched an interview with Denny, who was asked, “and tell us, how did you come to own an NRL footy team?” To which Denny replied that it started with becoming a debenture holder.
Here’s an idea? How about we increase the $100 cost of a debenture to say $450k?

Come on pussycat you really need to wake up from your one-sided slumber, you have seen what's happened the last couple of weeks.

Take off your magpie-coloured glasses for once, please don't reply with anything stupid or I'll have to post the chicken again.
