Former NSW premier Barry O’Farrell has been sacked as chairman of Wests Tigers in a purge of the board by the NRL club’s owners.
The joint venture has been plagued by dysfunction at boardroom level since the merger between Balmain and Wests in 1999, and the latest round of firings plunges it into more turmoil.

Tigers chaos: Board purged again as ‘wrong colour’ jersey blamed for off-field turmoil
Wests Tigers are again facing off-field chaos, with four directors including former NSW premier Barry O’Farrell sacked over a series of disputes including the colour of next season’s jersey.
The joint venture club removed chairman O’Farrell and fellow independent directors Annabelle Williams, Charlie Viola and Michelle McDowell, leaving majority owner Holman Barnes Group – which runs the Wests Ashfield League Club – in full control.
They joined the board in January, as part of major changes following the axings of past chairman Lee Hagipantelis and chief executive Justin Pascoe, and their exits throw doubt on the future of current chief Shane Richardson given he was a close ally of O’Farrell.
