HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[426Tlgerland]

That is not removing the debenture system which is what you said

I think he would have enough power to remove it if needed , just my opinion , HBG will only need to screw up 1 more time and I feel he will be all over them

Not even close to being the same - they never merged with anyone - there identity was never at risk.
A big difference to branding and identity.
Our first fans identified with either Wests Magpies and or Balmain Tigers.
After twenty five years we now have fans who only identify with Wests Tigers - the club in the here and now
Old fans who still want to push or pedal something from times past for self interest are one of the main barriers to the clubs stability strength and identity.

You seem to have taken my comment as a stand alone statement.
For context, read the post I was responding to.

There's nothing to suggest they're thinking of doing that. Other than podcasters who are now backing away from that angle.

People are jumping at shadows.

And some can jump remarkably high 🤣🤣🤣

Lee H went on record and shared what some of their plans had been behind the scenes. Marina Go alluded to it without saying it directly in the podcast with her son.

Its more than jumping at shadows.

Bitching by people who've been giving the arse doesnt convince me. Especially that hat guy.

Using that logic we cant believe anyone, because they give everyone the ass who doesnt fall in line with their 1980s way of doing business.

Email from Darcy Byrne this morning ...

Dear friends,

Thank you for participating in our rally to Save Wests Tigers last December and for registering your interest in being involved in the ongoing campaign to improve the governance of our Club.

With the Wests Tigers’ first home trial game at Leichhardt Oval this Friday, I am writing to update you on the campaign.

Firstly, with the season about to get underway, we are all excited and passionate about the potential for renewed success on the field for our team this year.

It’s vital that we all get behind Benji Marshall, the players, and the staff at Wests Tigers to make sure the success we have wanted for so long is delivered in 2026.

As we all said at the rally, Wests Tigers belongs to the members and fans who support the Club and they need our commitment and support more than ever this year.

Since the rally, we have been monitoring the governance arrangements put in place by the Holman Barnes Group for this season.

Preparations are being made for how our new fan-led campaign, Wests Tigers Unite, can play a positive role in engaging supporters and ensuring accountability in how Wests Tigers is being run.

The new interim CEO, Shaun Mielekamp, has made a concerted effort over summer to meet face-to-face with fans and members to hear their frustrations.

Fans are united in our determination that Shane Richardson’s good work in turning our Club around will continue and not be abandoned.

We all want Shaun and his team at Wests Tigers to do well and they need our support to make that happen.

After the show of strength from fans at the rally in December, we are working on a plan for how we can ensure the governance of Wests Tigers is accountable to members and supporters in 2026.

We will update you about the next steps in the Wests Tigers Unite campaign in the near future.

I look forward to seeing you at Friday night’s trial at Leichhardt Oval when the Wests Tigers will take on the Panthers.


Yours sincerely,

Darcy Byrne

You said no one was thinking of doing it, in which case, why would PVL even need to address it?

You said no one was thinking of doing it, in which case, why would PVL even need to address it?

he likely addressed it as he could see what hbg were all about when they removed independent board and Richo

 

[gallagher]

You said no one was thinking of doing it, in which case, why would PVL even need to address it?

Because some people asked him to. Just because someone thought it was true doesn't make it true.
Looks like he spent about 5 minutes addressing the 'issue'.

The cowboys have the right idea with board members.

Penrith and the roosters have amazing boards. Great balance of expertise, connections and football nouse.

Who would be a good fit for us?

Good question Ink. Chris Lawrence seems an obvious choice, Joel Caine talks up Ben Galea as a candidate.

Came across a pamphlet for a seniors festival, and did a double take. Thought it was our boy. Turns out was an old woman
