Bulldogs vote for change
February 17, 2008
BULLDOGS members have voted for change, with five members of the Graeme Hughes-led rival ticket winning seats on the NRL club's board.
While the Hughes ticket was successful in wresting the balance of power, Hughes himself missed a spot on the board.
The five members of the rival ticket to win election were former Australia internationals Andrew Farrar and Paul Dunn, as well as Barry Ward, Anthony Elias and Ray Dib.
The election of the new board raises questions over Malcolm Noad's position as chief executive of the club, with the rival ticket having stated their dissatisfaction with his performance over the past few years.
"I hope that after today, the good of the club will be uppermost in everybody's mind and that we can move ahead with some unity," Bulldogs chairman George Peponis said.
"The bottom line is that we have to stop fighting amongst ourselves and stop destroying this great club."
The other two members on the board are Peter Cassilles and Phillip Charlton.
