🤣🤣😅🤣🥲🤣 You wish.It stemmed from the great work of richo, the independent directors and benji over the last two years... which included popping the pimple with Galvin so we weren't dealing with that drama in 2026. We will miss your leadership Richo! Only peanuts would try and get rid of such a fearless leader 🥜🥜🥜

The good, the bad, the ugly ... all overseen by HBG
Everyone’s happy when we’re winning - well, almost everyone 🙄

PS. Who appointed Benji ?

Theres alot of bad and ugly. We havent played semi-final football under HBG for the last 15 years. I guess when the benchmark is so low, I can understand why you see 2 trial wins as a victory for HBG.

I know who you'd hold responsible if we'd lost both games. 😉

What can I tell you, I’m a positive kind of guy 👍

You are so quick to defend HBG and "question the group think" in the face of facts, yet you don't extend the same courtesy or the same consistency in your logic when it comes to other people like Lee.

How do you know Lee is not telling the truth? Were you there? If you weren't, then how can you be sure?

My view is you try to sound intelligent, but you don't actually realise with each post you look more and more foolish and intellectually dishonest.

You should just stop for your own reputation. Whatever is left of it.

Do you have a mirror at home mate!

Yes. I have 2 mirrors, but this is a footy forum, not a home decorating forum.

Go and read your Woman's Day subscription if you want all that.

You are so predictable it's ridiculous, no mention of the CEO and directors who are no longer here that set-in place the stepping stones for any future success.

There used to be a segment in a publication years ago called the One-Eyed Tiger, same theme playing out here.

Do we attribute all of the success last season on the independent board members & the CEO of the time? (Hired & put in place by who, for the record?)

Surely we should include Tim Sheens for setting up better pathway systems in his second term here that produced players like Bula, while we hand out praise.

And Scott Fulton for bringing over 2 of the pre-season stars in Samuela & Sione Fainu.

Or was last years 'success' & all the following years directly attributable to 4 independent board members (the returning ones, covered in the praise you criticised) & the former CEO?

Who will HBG sack today?

Sacked and forced out not long after by who? If it wasnt for PVL, we'd have Mestrov as CEO and Elias as GM, with players looking to leave... HBG would have been the laughing stock of Australian sport with the Wests Tigers on course for a few more spoons before 2030.

So lets not praise them for something that worked that they never wanted...

Richo signings of players like Andrews abd Bunty etc
with no hbg interference in December we could have been even better

it was Mestrov lining up as the ceo thank God that didnt happen

True. But Richo & the independents that got the Tigers all the way up to 13th were hired by HBG.

I don't imagine Mestrov & Elias would have been very good- but let's not set it in stone that this was absolutely what would have happened.

It was reported, and if news & reports (in general) have been anything of late, it's blasphemous & click bait trending.

Mielekamp was in the building at the time of these 'factual reports' & became CEO. Why wasn't Mestrov hired as CEO, as reported, over Mielekamp?

Or was that more conjecture than fact? PVL had nothing to do with Mielekamp taking over as CEO did he?

 

[The Chad]

I mean, at what point did Chammas & Read's reports go from inflammatory to home truths?

Was it when it suits the argument?

Let's not throw "they hired them" around as though HBG wanted richo or the directors. Their hand was forced.

Mielekamp is still only interim CEO.
And how do you know Mielekamp was not a result of PVL? Maybe they outlined their plans and he stopped them in their tracks?
