Wests Tigers face legal action over ownership control

The Wests Tigers are embroiled in a legal dispute initiated by Tony Andreacchio and his wife, Denise, aimed at regaining control of the club from the Holman Barnes Group (HBG). The Andreacchios claim the governance model, which grants exclusive control to a small group of debenture holders, is oppressive and discriminatory. They seek to challenge the board's composition and demand a new election for all seven board positions. The case, heard in the NSW Supreme Court, stems from previous tensions within the club's management and governance structure. A hearing is scheduled for October 26.
