Well, they've done it again! Just when it felt like the Wests Tigers had turned the corner, here comes the HBG hatchet men!That's right, our old "friends" from the Holman Barnes Group (HBG) have orchestrated their latest power play to again make the Wests Tigers the NRL laughing stocks.After we fought so hard to initiate change at Wests Tigers board level, and based on the advice of an independent governance review, the four independent Wests Tigers board members have been sacked.This includes our chairman, Barry O'Farrell. The HBG, the majority shareholders of Wests Tigers, say their knives were sharpened after the Wests Tigers board didn't adequately communicate with the HBG board, and there was a misalignment between the organisations.We fear, but strongly suspect, the majority orange home jersey selected by Wests Tigers for 2026 and beyond was the tipping point. What a mess!On this emergency edition of the podcast, Joel Helmes is joined by Zac Kels from Tiger Town, and Joe McCord from Wests Tigers Faithful. The boys are showing cross-podcast unity in the face of a really disappointing situation.Topics up for discussion include: Will Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson now resign? How will this latest storm affect player negotiations? What actions can fans take to convey their dissatisfaction? Should, or will, the NRL get involved? Are the HBG moves about deeper issues?We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, and we welcome your comments on this topic on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.
