\u201cThe reported reinstatement of the sacked independent directors to Wests Tigers board will make zero difference to the governance of Wests Tigers if the board is stacked with a majority of Holman Barnes Group appointees.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout a majority-independent board of Wests Tigers, this manoeuvre is just a fig-leaf to cover up the coup that has been conducted by the powerbrokers at Holman-Barnes Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cOr to put it another way, Holman-Barnes Group seem to be trying to put lipstick on a pig.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile, if confirmed, this is an acknowledgment of how appalling the treatment of the sacked independent directors was, reappointing them to a board which they no longer have any control over is meaningless.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese independent directors would simply be toothless tigers, and this would leave Wests Tigers in the same chaotic and dysfunctional state.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur rally to save Wests Tigers will proceed this Saturday at Pratten Park from 10:30am because without real change, the team we love will be out the back door.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Friday Mielekamp took the step of calling members to listen to their concerns after some asked for money back on their memberships for 2026. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve actually spent all morning calling members, every second I get a gap,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll call every member that\u2019s asked for a refund, that\u2019s written in and made a complaint. I\u2019ve got through some, I\u2019ve got a lot to get to.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy message to the members is every member can come and meet me directly. As part of your membership you do have a voice and you have the opportunity to come and meet me \u2026 All our members want the same thing. So let\u2019s communicate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Tigers\u2019 interim CEO Shaun Mielekamp has called for unity and backed Benji Marshall\u2019s long-term extension as club…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":181055,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[5636,109639,115072,115075,115077,112983,2647,112982,115070,115086,115084,115071,115085,115079,111,139,69,115074,115073,115080,115082,115081,213,115083,115076,115078,33815],"class_list":{"0":"post-181054","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-benji-marshall","9":"tag-board-members","10":"tag-calling-members","11":"tag-club-fans-plan","12":"tag-darcy-byrne","13":"tag-enforcer-inks-extension","14":"tag-fox-league","15":"tag-holman-barnes-group","16":"tag-independent-directors","17":"tag-inner-west","18":"tag-interim-ceo","19":"tag-long-term-extension","20":"tag-morning-calling-members","21":"tag-name-interim","22":"tag-new-zealand","23":"tag-newzealand","24":"tag-nz","25":"tag-real-change","26":"tag-sacked-board","27":"tag-sacked-board-members","28":"tag-sacked-independent-directors","29":"tag-shane-richardson","30":"tag-sports","31":"tag-star-spine-players","32":"tag-tigers-fans","33":"tag-tigers-interim-ceo","34":"tag-wests-tigers"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/181055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
