Though tit worthy of his own thread to bring him out from under the shadow of Vlad. What we know about him is he's a numbers guy from a financial background, Chartered Account by qualification. From Suff Africa and been at NRL 7 years. Previous role was as CFO at NRL under Greenberg.
First full interview last night on NRL360 and spoke well and confidently. Has as his priority 1. getting through the current crisis. 2. Renovating the game. 3. Growing the game. Aiming to cut $50million of expenditure over next 12 months. Didn't explain where the cuts would be other than some position and dept mergers at NRL HQ.
FTA deal will be the next biggie for him, hopefully he doesnt annoy Ch9 and get himself sacked by not bowing down to our media masters.
Not sure how much leadership he will be able to display under Vlandys but hopefully he goes ok.
