Did this actually happen. Sad if true
HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

They have proven that an independent board is not acceptable - but until we know the makeup of the new board we don't know if the selection of candidates against the skills matrix has been done. If they have the right skills and attitude I really don't care if they are HBG or independent. If the "pool of talent" is only debenture holders then we probably have an issue to contend with.
HBG's previous behaviour indicates that it will be jobs for the blazer brigade; however, I trust that the NRL has issued some clear guidance that will have them more focussed on results than and another blazer and free meals for the debenture holders.
It is their toy set, I hope we see them put more of the broken toys like Burgess aside.

💯 This is the only way to go imo. A skilled board will not get every call right but odds are more in their favour for it to happen
Need to remove the us and them narrative

Doesn't matter if it's true or not. If enough people repeat in here enough then it automatically becomes the truth.

We have Macarthur WTs 16s and 18s
Are you sure the NRL owns the brand name "West Tigers"?
I think this would be owned by Wests Tigers Football Club Pty Ltd, and they currently own/hold a licence to compete in the NRL.

Damn you guys are still going on about this. Time to accept that they won and are our overlords for now and forever. I expect them to lead us to success. I haven't even smoked any meth today so you know I'm right about this.
We need to remember that buying the license/Wests Tigers brand and buying the clubs are different things and this is what creates the complications.
I don’t actually see selling the Wests Tigers as an easy solution that solves much, if anything it could create larger complications & bigger headaches. The benefits are it keeps the model simple with direct focus & but the consequences could be very large and costly. Especially on pathways and footprint etc.
The License is the Wests Tigers
The clubs are Wests Tigers, Magpies & Balmain.
The governance structure is the key as that provides maximum benefit (this would still be required even if sold). New ownership might be great and all but stability and risk increases.
As to people pushing the please explain button like seriously it’s clear as day even at the time the move was to remove Richo & regain control, nothing more or less. As to why given NDA etc are signed we can’t know and that’s business.
We need to move forward, we might not like how things were handled but it’s done & it won’t be reverted anytime soon. If we keep driving division then us fans are not much better than those being called out within HBG.
Seeking governance & pushing for changes is one thing how we go about doing it by disrespecting other fans and parts of our DNA is another.

Someone from the forum was there at the time and said they heard it, can't remember who, hopefully they will read this and confirm it.
