New ARLC CEO Discussion

[Big Poppa Pump]

Is he Aussie or a Brit?

He's Welsh mate.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

He's Welsh mate.

So he's a brit then.

Introduction video interview with him.

 

[seanoff]

He's a Union plant. :sarcasm::sarcasm::crazy:

 

[Spanner in the works]

I work for Lloyds International.

Dave Smith is extremely switched on and down to earth. He will bring in a wealth of business acumen & the level of professionalism will go through the roof.

The loss on our property portfolio was due to the GFC - if anything he did a remarkable job in limiting the damage.

He is a very, very smart choice.
​

This. Don't work at Lloyds but from all accounts he is the real deal.

 

[Saint Doc]

Anyone else watching the press conference?

Very very impressed by him

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Talks well

Nice change from ummmmm ahhhhhh

 

[RL The greatest game]

So he's a brit then.

I don't care where he's from as long he's takes our great game to the next level and beyond..

:lol: Poor old Danny Boy, some of the pathetic questions by News journo's are laughable. Still upset their puppet Dave got the arse.

 

[BunniesMan]

Not sure. I'll reserve judgement until I see him in action but tbh I don't like the fact that he was a Union player as a kid. Union types are just different and don't understand the working mans game.

I'm at work so I can't watch it but what sort of dribble is he asking

Union in Wales is a working man's game. He's from a working class background.

 

[Knownothing]

He's a rah rah.

 

[Trentosaurus]

If the NRL wants an experienced business professional as CEO, he's probably going to be a union fan. Move on, it's a non-issue.

Smith was very impressive in the press conference. It's a smart appointment.

But you would have been happy with Vlads arselicker, Dopey Merkin.

Do you like RL, how many games have you been to this year, blah blah blah. Just crap, he handled them all well IMO.

 

[Spanner in the works]

Working man's game? Pfft. Go back to the 80's. Rugby league is a business. End of story.

Thanks

"You weren't the first choice, how do you respond?"

"Well it was my first choice."

 

[hrundi99]

Very impressive. Passionate, intelligent, engaged and excited.

Welcome aboard.


Anyone criticising his rugby background doesn't understand what it means to be Welsh.
