Lee & JP finally lose the confidence of the Board??

[Tom Shines]

I just find it ludicrous to think the people that initiated the review ie. the board could be the ones that are found to be incompetent. What will change - nothing.

the owners have initiated the review…

Maybe they have started to notice all the people not renewing their memberships and are concerned

It’s not ideal is it. I think the HBG board as majority owners should be different to the WT Board. Maybe a review will agree.

I'd prefer to leave that to someone with the appropriate education, qualifications and experience as an administrator of a sporting organization.
I'm just a humble know nothing supporter.
That's been my whole point all along.

That is why a review is important in this situation.

 

[Todd Packer]

The review should've been conducted by a Peter Parr type of person.
Someone who has a history as an administrator and knows the right questions to ask.

That would be why Tony Crawford is leading the review.

 

[Vicious]

The fans caused us to lose 74 nil. That’ll do me. You’re on ignore.

Well it wasn’t the board or CEO but they still get the blame.

Former CFO at the NRL would have a pretty good grasp on how competent clubs are being run.

Why the experience with a sporting organisation?
That’s one thing I don’t understand about nrl clubs? Why do they think in a narrow tunnel like that? That they can only get better by copying a more successful nrl club?
There are people who specialise in solving these problems, because for the most part they are human behavioural and have little to do with playing football or making cardboard cartons, or manufacturing vehicle parts etc.
Wouldnt you agree?

Will the passionate fans be made aware of the review findings or will it be kept secret?

Former CFO at the NRL would have a pretty good grasp on how competent clubs are being run.

But does he have the intrapersonal skills to uncover the underlying issues?

I think you need some of both. At the moment we have a guy who can sell legal services well but he can’t get out of his own way in rugby league. Sport is so different to business because it’s largely unregulated.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he has a history in NRL club land does he?
Clubs are different beasts to being the money man for the NRL.

That is incorrect. The board of WA/HBG initiated the review, not the board of WT.

 

[cochise]

That is up to the Holman Barnes Group

 

[Needaname]

I'm interested to know if you've contacted Benji by phone, email, fav, Instagram or carrier pigeon to explain why you've chosen to sabotage his first year and probably the next 4 years of his coaching the club.
It would be the manly thing to do.

Technically this will be Benji’s second year as head coach but the club didn’t have the balls to admit it.

 

[tigertuff]

Your right. But who's to say they are not part of the problem. Are they part of the review.

Clubs are different beasts to being the money man for the NRL.

Was a director of the Newcastle Knights for a short period and was CEO of the Australian Turf Club.

 

[BAGNF05]

Hope so. Outside looking in there seems to be some pretty obvious ones.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

Are you basing this on opinion?

Not at all. 100% fact, reported annually

The NRL funds all the players salaries and about $3m on top,,, so it would be hard even for the Tigers to be losing money these days,,

It’s been reported in recent years the football team has made money

The Wests Tigers are not WA/HBG. Every year WA/HBG provides a grant to WT. In 2022 it was $1,747,718.00. $0.00 comes back the other way. Wests Tigers are a net loss to WA/HBG and they need to be legally otherwise they would lose their valuable Club tax status.

 

[Tom Shines]

A question…Is the outcome of he review already pre determined?
