MOFFO SAID , REBUILD BELMORE :lol::lol::lol::lol:

To be honest I have learnt a lot about David Smith from this press conference. This is the type of interview/press conference that the ARLC should have had Smith do sometime ago. While I have read newspaper articles about him and seen snippets of him speak on TV this is the first time I have seen him speak live and for a lengthy period time.

He obviously knows his limitations and realises he can't do everything himself. So he has, and is bringing in the right people to help him.

Still not sure he is the right person for the job. But I think more highly of him then I did pre-conference.

Agree with this

I thought Greenberg should have been CEO last year. still better he's 2IC now then never. hopefully he'll run most of the important day to day running and get it done and smith can run the business/corporate side of things

To give a shortish summary:

NRL executive structure has be overhauled and streamlined into 7 different areas. Shape and organisation of the structure discussed with commission, Smith making the appointments himself

Units -

Head of Football - Todd Greenberg
Cheif Operations Officer- Jim Doyle
Cheif Financial Officer - To be filled
Head of Strategy & Investment - Shane Mattiske
Head of Commercial - Paul Kind
Head of Marketing, Digital and Content - To be filled
Head of Corporate Affairs & Community - To be filled

There are also high level position within these divisions to be filled

Paul Kind has had Marketing taken off him
Nathan McGuirk, Ian Schubert and John Brady seem to be demoted

Smith & Greenberg very impressive at the press conference. Greenberg systematically ruled out any discontent between clubs and NRL.

Landmark day for the ARLC, fantastic appointments so far.

agreed

the kind of setup Gallop should have implemented years ago

 

[gronkathon]

It is the kind of setup that could only happen free from the shackles of News Ltd

Auditors won't be looking into Belmores books then.

that's not his department

Doyle looks after that

 

[Dogs Of War]

Auditors won't be looking into Belmores books then.

They didn't previously. So why should things change?

Did he have the $ to do that?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Why would you need money to restructure, organise and streamline an organisation?

You need money to attract a good CEO and other such key position, which is what we've got and now starting to do.

Gallop couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

 

[DMS]

Anybody with half a brain knows that Greenberg is a good administrator and wouldn't disadvantage any other club in the NRL

 

[betcats]

Did he have the $ to do that?

Thats a point worth remembering when comparing this management to the previous. I'm no Gallop fan but there is no denying that the ARLC has a lot more money to play with then Gallop ever had.

His job isn't to do everything himself, it has nothing to do with limitations. It's about creating a diverse, balanced and highly skilled team who each know their roles intimately to get the job done.

As a CEO that is probably his main job, to oversee all of this. It isn't to be at the beck and call of the media and have his face all over TV everyday like Gallop.

Now we'll most likely see different executive take responsibility for different issues that concern them directly, just like it should be. I mean, how many people on here know what Nathan McGuirk looks or sounds like, despite him holding the Football/Operations role? I've probably only ever heard or seen him once or twice.

And unity at the top. Gallop was on a hiding to nothing - IMHO he did well holding it all together. When the ARLC came in they instantly became unified at the top, and cut Gallop simply because he evolved into being something that could not operate under the new regime.

The ARLC has done many blunders, but it takes time to get the house in order. I think Smith is ok, but he needs to play a role he is comfortable with. He's a corporate leader, not a sporting figurehead. Heaps of people here were cheering for a businessman, not someone to spend his day arguing with useless mental minnows like Hadley.

If anything, the ARLC with it's magnificent seven and this new structure is top heavy, but since Arko and Quayle ran the show it's been top light. I think the structure and personnel are right now. Onwards and upwards.

PS, Schubert needed demoting after the abysmal way he handled Folau's mooted return.

That's bullshit.

I was in Commonwelth Bank the other day and Ian Narev served me behind the teller when I made a deposit. Also when I rang Telstra to sort out some billing issues David Thodey was sorting it out for me on the other end of the phone.

David Smith needs to be at the beck and call of the media so they know his opinion of Hodges hamstrings, SBW boxing career and why crowds are so 'poor' (despite trending much higher than last year).
