The WestsLife Podcast presenters claimed that the chairman had spoken to the former Tigers playmaker and offered to “pick him up every day in his Ferrari and drive him to Concord”.
Wests Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis has threatened legal action against a group of his own fans over defamatory claims related to the pursuit of Parramatta halfback Mitchell Moses.
It was interpreted by Hagipantelis as impugning his character and reputation, resulting in the principal of Brydens Lawyers demanding an apology, or he would pursue legal proceedings. Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe and chairman Lee Hagipantelis look on during the 74-0 flogging in North Queensland earlier in the year.The presenter who made the original claim about Moses and the Ferrari then doubled down on Hagipantelis.“If that’s how we conduct our negotiations ... if that’s really how we do our business. Would Lee have gone up to a girl when he was single and said would you please, please, please, pretty please go out with me? Please, please, please and got on his knees.
“That is not an issue. However, if my character and reputation are defamed in a public setting, then there are legal consequences. I note this has been acknowledged by the gentleman in question given they have unreservedly apologised.”
