There will be a firestorm come down on them from us (the pod) and other outlets. Be very careful what you do HBG.

HBG are the gift that keep on giving 😐 maybe they think winning two games in a row has taken the heat off them and all is good with the world.
the blazer brigade strikes again, the balmain dinosaurs who ran the club down the toilet mixed in with the loser mentality of the Magpies and we have a derelict HBG Board.
Richo should just walk fairdinkum !
so we are apparently looking at getting meriton back on board as a major sponsor, Harry T is good but geez
The Empire Strikes Back
Well, are we really surprised,I mean it was too good to be true. My fear is this is an issue that could make Richo walk as he has a very good working relationship with Barry. I said it once before and I'll say it again.We need to mobilize as a group and those who are not members of Wests Leagues Club should join.Then we vote at the next election and work our way though the place. From where Im standing maybe one could be forgiven for thinking that place is for the pleasure of the Directors not its members or supporters. Am I wrong?

Voting in the elections will have no impact at Wests Ashfield, there are only 2 positions on the 7 seat board that the General Membership vote on and to be honest they were the 2 that drove through the review.

Correct. But the other 5 are a Cabal just waiting to happen.There is no love lost between a couple of them. Once on you look to capture the Debenture Holders of which there are 8 or 10 not sure. In any case this sort of active threat to them is the only language they will ever understand.
There are currently 20 debenture holders, those 20 control 5 out of 7 board seats.
There is just no real way to positively affect the Holman Barnes group board.
That is why we went the route we did last year and there are still avenues in that area.

‘We’ve lost faith in them’: Balmain consider shock exit from Wests Tigers merger
The Balmain board is set to call a crisis meeting to discuss removing the club from the joint venture with Western Suburbs in an ambitious bid to go it alone that could spell the end of the Wests Tigers.
In a move that will send shockwaves through the NRL, frustrated Balmain directors are preparing to call a vote on their involvement in the merger amid concern over decisions being made by the club’s majority owner, the Holman Barnes Group (HBG).

Balmain director and former Tigers first grade player Garry Leo told this masthead on Thursday he and his fellow board members had “lost faith” in HBG and was calling on fellow directors to endorse the end of the troubled joint venture 25 years after it was established.
“I really believe the time has come for us to step aside and resurrect the Balmain Tigers,” Leo, who played 156 games for Balmain in the 1960’s and ’70s, told the Herald.
“We’ve got more of a following than the Wests side of the merger. To be honest, we have lost faith in them. We’re getting Leichhardt Oval upgraded and we could play there every second week. If we can find the right backers, we want a shot at returning to the NRL.
“I don’t think the NRL would continue to allow the Wests Tigers to operate with the Tigers name without any involvement from Balmain. I really do believe the NRL competition needs a Tigers team. And not the Wests Tigers.”

The current licensing agreement between the NRL and its clubs expires at the end of the season.
Balmain see it as an opportunity to put forward a proposal that could force the NRL to choose between the Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies if the NRL team is unable to keep the Tigers name without Balmain’s involvement.
