In the wake of the "disrespectful" axing of the Wests Tigers board, Rugby League legends Benny Elias and Garry Jack have emerged as the voices of triumph.
They see the boardroom bloodbath as a glorious day for the struggling NRL team.
The shockwaves sent through the sport were palpable as the entire board, including notorious CEO Justin Pascoe and chairman Lee Hagipantelis, were removed from their positions.
Pascoe, feeling the burn, resigned from his role after the board launched a review into the club's culture and governance.
This review was instigated by the Holman Barnes Group, the board's controlling faction and major shareholder.
Hagipantelis and the rest of the seven-person board were shown the door, leaving the team in the hands of interim chair Barry O'Farrell and interim CEO Shane Richardson.
The uncertain future of the Tigers' major sponsors, Brydens Lawyers, has thrown another wrench into the already tumultuous situation.
After suffering through over a decade of disappointment, with no appearances in the NRL finals since 2011, Tigers fans have reached their boiling point.
Frustration and anger have been on display, with banners demanding an end to the "Pascoe Fiasco." Now, with the old regime ousted, hopes for a fresh start and a new era of success are high.
