They should only appoint someone who meets the requirements under a skills matrix. If they can’t another independent should be appointed until they have someone strong enough to qualify. Amateur hour needs to end.

Absolutely!! Or buy out the football clubs so HBG are the sole owner with just 1 board seat.

That's not quite right.

Their token ownership allows them to veto ownership changes

Their board rep is their to advocate for legacy identity issues, juniors etc.

Balmain contributes with identity, juniors and demographics.

A people's rep if you like.

Wests Tigers Board meetings should not be focused on these insignificant old issues. Let the legacy clubs sort their own shit out.

Reckon it was purely tokenism as the 2 foundation clubs to keep them happy. Think that with the added independants they will hopefully only have minimal influance

I suspect you're right. Maybe the review is all that great if they are giving away 2 token seats.

I don’t know why people are so adamant that the review should be seen as gospel and be implemented in full.
The owners of the club may not agree with every recommendation made. They may wish to tweak some of them before employing them.
They may even have their own ideas….

Time limits worry me a little, imagine having a high flying board and having to replace them because of time limit.

Would be just out luck to have people the ilk of Politis and Bouris on board and having to replace them due to a time limit.

Time limits related to on field success makes sense. Years of repeated failures necessitates change. Hopefully that won't be for another few decades though!

I can understand why they would do it being from the 2 foundation clubs but i would much prefer to just have all seats filled by people prioritising the Wests Tigers. Baby steps first I guess the priority are those independant positions being filled to dilute the control of the factions in there atm.

Honestly part of believe they are just arrogant and think they're untouchable but the other half looks at the way the Tigers have been run and thinks they do this stupidity because they just don't know any better because they're just deadset incompetent.

It's all about POWER!!

Love it. , well done , they make out their elected by the 27,000 members , what they didn’t say was we are elected by 18 people and the rest can boot off , Rick Wade needs to come out now and update where they are actually up to with the implementations , also they forgot to say we are being investigated by liquor and gaming , the review of the review isn’t done m and we are stopping anyone and everyone who applies for a spot on Wests Tigers board so we can jump back on and get free food , wine and beers plus our big heads in corporate boxes , they also stated again they are the main financial backer but it’s wrong the nrl put in over 13.5 million ,

Rick can't even walk into a HBG licenced premises, Burgess, Romero and their two lackeys have barred him for 8 years.


Rick came on the Wests Tigers Life podcast to bring up the multiple issues at board level, risking his future with the club to tell the members & fans what's really going on. Romero, Burgess & Co were given an open invitation to state their case on the podcast (which is available to watch/listen to on YouTube) an invitation they have so far declined to take up.

Of course they can. But they are directors, not owners. The members own the club. So if it's in the interests of members, go for it. The issue most have here is that the directors seem to be acting more in self interest. They'd already agreed to implement in full.

I'd suggest that sentiments here closely echo the sentiments of the majority of hbg members.

Ten years this has been going on, if not longer. No wonder us fans want to see the backend of this crap and want a successful club both financiallly & in on field results with leadership all on the same page.

Hopefully Liquor and Gaming can put a 🚀 up the backside of those who are putting themselves ahead of the team, club members and the fans..... enough is enough.
