Wests Tigers Unite Update

As the Petition calling for a governance review into the Holman Barnes Group moves towards 1400 signatures Garry Watson sat down for a one-on-one chat with Holman Barnes Group Debenture Holder and former director John Hardgrove.

John gives and in-depth explanation into the debenture system, why it has served the group well and why he no longer believes it is in the best interests of the Holman Barnes Group or the Wests Tigers.

He also discusses the current issues at the Holman Barnes Group as he sees it and what impact that may have on the Wests Tigers.

This is an important listen for all Holman Barnes Group members as well as members and fans of the Wests Tigers.

Look out for the next collaboration podcast coming in the next couple of days for your next Wests Tigers Unite update.

Thank you for listening and please add your signature to the petition if you haven’t already done so.

The Wests Tigers Podcast teamed up with colleagues from several other Wests Tigers pods, social media platforms, and supporter groups to say, "Enough is enough."

The issue we've all been fighting for under the 'Wests Tigers Unite' banner is a review into what we all believe is the archaic and undemocratic debenture group utilized by Wests Tigers majority owners, Holman Barnes Group (HBG).

After launching the joint public campaign, including commencing a petition calling for the review, the Sydney Morning Herald confirmed a probe into the HBG's governance had been launched by Liquor & Gaming NSW.

This is a huge result and means that hopefully, Wests Tigers can benefit from the implementation of review recommendations, including the appointment of highly skilled independent board members.

Working together under the Wests Tigers Unite banner are groups and individuals including:

• Rob Bechara (Wests Tigers Life Podcast)
• Tiger Town Podcast
• The Ambush support group
• Wests Tigers Forum
• Save Leichhardt Oval group

And, us here at the Wests Tigers Podcast & Forum.

So, we thought we would get together and record a podcast that could be shared across the different podcasts. This edition features Rob, Zac from Tiger Town, Will (Spartan 117) from Wests Tigers Forum, and Garry Watson and I.

We hope you enjoy this unique collaboration podcast where we talk about the action, the investigation into HBG governance, the flaws in the debenture system, and what the future might now hold for the club we all love, Wests Tigers!
