Does anyone have anything positive to say about him?
From my point of view, his tenure as chief of football at the NRL has been nothing but failure.
The first notable thing to happen was the Barba cover-up (from his time at the Dogs) revealed in his first couple of months at the NRL.
From then on he has overseen numerous rule changes which have been at best pointless (7-tackle sets) but usually downright bad (video ref referrals, shoulder charge).
He has maintained and contributed to an environment of poor attitudes and a confusing rulebook that results in refs being poorer than ever, having no confidence in their own ability, and rampantly wasting time with the video, which continues to get things bafflingly wrong anyway despite a dozen replays.
The above two points are pushing fans away from attending Rugby League matches and watching games outside their own club.
The current shoulder charge crackdown debacle shows that the NRL doesn't understand the sport well enough to write or enforce its own rules.
Dave Smith needs to get on this before Greenberg further taints his own good work in improving the NRLs off-field game.
Time to go Todd.
