Shane Richardson’s tenure as Tigers CEO is ending, with the club’s board room drama resulting in another casualty.
A week after club chairman Barry O’Farrell and three other independent directors were controversially sacked by the joint venture club, Richardon will walk away from his position.
That’s according to the SMH, who also revealed that Richardson has told his staff of his plans to depart a club in turmoil with at least two more years left on his deal.

Richardson’s decision also comes amid an NRL integrity unit probe around the veteran administrator’s conduct at the Tigers.
As per the SMH, a whistleblower raised concerns with the club’s finances while Richardson has been at the helm and a potential conflict of interest regarding a business Richardson part owns with his son.
That business, the Enrichd Group, has been paid money by the club for marketing, branding and digital consultancy services.
However, it is understood that Richardson isn’t concerned about the integrity unit’s investigation.
Former Manly CEO Tony Mestrov has reportedly been approached by the Tigers to take over Richardson’s post but hasn’t given an answer on whether he will.
