HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[batboy]

If you have the best pies in Australia and you can only manufacture 100 a day and keep selling out, do you keep the price at $4 or increase to $8?

Similarly, if Leichhardt keeps selling out, it's simply price elasticity if demand in terms of Leichhardt. This wouldn't make people happy, but bump the prices as high as they can go until sell outs start becoming affected.

Like you say, gotta make money.

I don't think it's that so much man, It's the price of things,
And it's in everything.

Tradies are 30-40% more than they were 5-6 Years ago,
House Prices are up about the same.
New Builds have jumped stupidly...
Insurance, Apples - You name it.

Everything has gone up Stupid - Bar Wages.

Benji who called Richo the best CEO he's ever seen was happy to see the back of him Lol. The narrative spin is getting out of hand.

Maybe we aren't talking about the same thing.

Im sating if the complaint is we cant make money at Leichhardt, yet we are selling the joint bump the prices of everything until it affects sell outs.

Still think that $27 as the bottom end price for a kid's ticket is much too high. Puts it out of the reach of many families.

problen is ground only holds 16 - 18k so they can price kids tickets at $10 (like dogs can) as they still take up a seat, unfortunately 27 not that bad when you.compare it to a movie ticket etc.
The cost makes the gold season ticket membership good value if you attend all games you have a reserve seat
membership Reserved junior ticket in the Latchem stand works out to be $52 a game right on the 50m line
problem is the initial outlay for membership

The "talk to the players" is a new one.

It insinuates that he himself (or his pupeteer) has had conversations with lots of players and they are over the moon about richo leaving...

Again, no proof, no sources...

I’m not the one who started the players are devastated narrative without really knowing.
Have you conveniently forgotten statements that no players would want to re-sign with the club without our former CEO and under the current ownership structure.
You talk him up like he was Jesus Christ and Donald Trunp rolled into one.

Also has a habit of getting what he wants...

Incorrect.
Multiple people posted that our former CEO and a couple of board members departing would be having a negative effect on our players.

"Our former CEO and couple of board members departing".

Lets be clear on what happened:
4 x INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS WERE SACKED LESS THAN 11 MONTHS AFTER BEING APPOINTED.

You continue to try and rewrite what happened to make it sound like they left on their own accord.. THEY DIDNT!

That’s an assumption, nobody knew this as fact, but were happy run with it anyway.

Surely you realise this is literally what youve been doing in 95% of your posts?

Apoarently Sione, Twal and Bula expected to happen shortly.

Why would Mielekamp want to extend Twal? He is close to 30 and is contracted until the end of 2027.

 

[Merlot]

Those that stand blindly by the side of hbg n wst ashfield seem to operate on a 2 or 3 day shift.
With a few of the underlings snipping in for about 6 hours each with 1 major player gumming the works up with constant queries for your replies ,yet offer almost zilch on what they posted
Your getting played on the old fashioned shell game

 

[The Chad]

You could if they didn't disrupt the playing group during preseason

Has that actually happened? Or is it speculation from this message board? Everything the players say seems to suggest they don't get involved with boardroom activities.

Some of those board members were invited back/have returned, so the statement that a couple leaving along with the CEO remains accurate.

Do we know when the board will be announced for the Wests Tigers board , they ( Must-be due for a meeting this month ) at present we have no board , and interim CEO and the footy kicks off next week with trials and we have Bulla who is still unsigned and probably the biggest dollars spend right now with nobody to get it over the line , at present HBG would be overseeing his deal most likely due to the above , they need t pull a meeting yesterday and get it sorted .

There was a board meeting Monday.

There was a board meeting Monday.

Thanks , I didn’t know , much appreciated, do we know the make up of HBG , is it still as was and the Wests Tigers board ?

This doesnt change the fact they were sacked 11 months into their roles. Their reinstatement reinforces how bad the original decision was.

So again, they didnt leave by choice. They were sacked

“Hi Darcy!

Just to avoid any confusion, the prices currently displayed on Ticketek for our 2026 NRL home games are for our One Game Memberships.

By becoming a Member, in addition to seeing the Tigers run out at the 8th Wonder, you get a heap of other great benefits including discounts on merchandise and tickets, and to Member-only events plus plenty of other great perks!

Ticket pricing at Leichhardt Oval remains the same from the 2025 to 2026 NRL seasons, with children’s tickets starting at $27.

Tickets to Wests Tigers NRL home games (Rounds 2-8) will go on sale to the general public on Friday, 13 February.”

Wonder if Darcy will back track and apologise - the guy is a walking BS artist

I think a little different. Not everything needs to be 10 bucks so everyone can afford it...even at 10 bucks people will complain. Business not a charity. Put the price at what it needs to be to make a profit and survive.

Multiple sell outs last year indicates the price isn't high enough to discourage a full house.

Far out fans should not flipping their gums before getting facts they complain about journalists doing the same thing
