New ARLC CEO Discussion

[DJShaksta]

Andrew Ettingshausen should be CEO.
Lock up your wives.

Johnny is a Saints supporter, he would have kicked melbourne out, something Gallop lacked the stones to do.

Pfft. Howard would reward them for free market thinking. He was as stubborn as all hell, and unless John Grant would drop his pants, wear a cowboy hat and yell "Lets invade Eye-Rack yall", Howard would stick to some idiotic agenda well rooted in the 1950's.

Besides, it was always a Wallaby tracksuit, never a Dragons one, that he would take of and bend over for George Bush.

I dont thin this will be too popular around here, but i think John O Neil would be a really good choice.

Lurch died years ago d*ckhead!

I know - it's a common name, but all the others are nuffies, probably adding lettuce to buns at Maccas.

Whose your next nomination? Ken Irvine?

It has to be Quayle. Greatest administrator we have seen in this game, and furthered his skills with virtually running 3 Olympics since then. Its a no brainer.

Greenberg -pfft. There goes junior Rugby League is that twat gets in.

ET for CEO

 

[Proud2BeCanberran]

John McIntyre.

 

[Panfas]

I may not be the best at politics, but Jeff Kennett would be an outstanding CEO. Former Vic premier who took them from the gutter to one of the best run state's in the country before he left. He is a die hard AFL supporter and he is apparently taking a roll as The Star CEO, which will both stop him taking the roll. and I doubt he would want it. John Fahey would also be a good choice

 

[Iafeta]

Wait, wasn't the last one a female?

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Wait, wasn't the last one a female?

Not anatomically..

 

[woodyk2]

Steve Menzies?

 

[Brutus]

Lincoln Lewis?

 

[betcats]

If we are going former players, Mark Geyer has to be top pf the list.

 

[woodyk2]

Lincoln Lewis?

Chapelle Corby?

 

[Panfas]

MG has just mentioned on MMM both Warren Wilson (Panthers Group CEO) and Gus Gould

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Gus is being very coy about the whole thing

 

[Flapper]

Listening to the people calling in the Grill Team about this leads me to believe the majority of their listeners are idiots

 

[Dresden Dan]

Get Grant Mayer back from AFL.

 

[Pigskin]

sometimes wish some threads could be protected from rubbish ... label them "serious" and delete all the rubbish

Greenburg is certainly and impressive guy and would seem a decent choice ... my only concern is how Searle looked equally impressive not so long ago and now we know the truth about him

Oink !

 

[bobmar28]

Phil Gould.

Mark Arbib a target for rugby league's top job

by: Stuart Honeysett and Brent Read
From: The Australian

FORMER Federal Sports Minister Mark Arbib has emerged as a potential candidate to replace David Gallop as ARL Commission chief executive.

While ARLC chairman John Grant said the search for Gallop's replacement would be extensive, The Australian was told yesterday that the code was looking at a heavy hitter with strong government and corporate connections.

Arbib, a Sydney Roosters fan, resigned his position as federal sports minister in March and on Saturday accepted a senior executive position with James Packer's Crown Casino group.

He is already well known in rugby league circles, having been a chief architect of plans to bring in unified sports betting legislation in the wake of a gambling sting from a North Queensland-Canterbury match in 2010.

Arbib is presently working alongside Australian Rugby Union director Peter Cosgrove as they prepare a report into the corporate governance practices of the ARU.

"I don't see any reason why we would limit ourselves to any particular set of available people so we will look widely and we will look deeply," Grant said yesterday.

"But I'd have to say a knowledge of this game and the passion behind it and the influences that it has ... I think you need to have that experience. But I don't want to rule out anything."

Former Sky Channel and TAB chief executive Warren Wilson also shapes as a candidate. Wilson, now chief executive of the Panthers Group, has a rugby league background and was in the running for the role when Gallop was appointed 10 years ago.

He was also mooted as a potential member of the inaugural independent commission.

If the commission chooses to look within the game, Canterbury chief executive Todd Greenberg and Wests Tigers' Stephen Humphreys loom as the most likely candidates.

The Australian understands some powerful club chairmen have started lobbying for Greenberg, who has been lauded for his work at the Bulldogs.

Humphreys is also highly respected. His late father Kevin was a former chairman of the NSW Rugby League.

Gallop, who is also chairman of the Australian Sports Commission, said he had some simple advice for whoever inherits the role.

"Stick to the things that are central to the game's success," he said.

Listening to the people calling in the Grill Team about this leads me to believe the majority of their listeners are idiots

It's been the same on every radio station except 2SM where some of the real issues are discussed at times.

Gotta laugh at TK and Slater today suggesting Gallop did a great job with minimal resources.

A caller rang in and said "Gallop undersold our TV rights, that's why we have few resources." They hung up on him.

Even Rothfield mentioned today that Gallop undersold the TV rights.

 

[Fire]

Anyone who honestly thinks the best possible person to run the sport of rugby league at this particular point in time is a female, is either trying too hard to make a point or is deluded about what type of personality this position requires.

I realise many will consider that view sexist and I'm fine with that. I know women are brilliant in some roles, but this is not one of them.

Perhaps the shot-calling job of the toughest male sport in Australia should be a male, makes perfect sense to me. You'll get a lot of the politically correct warriors having a sook though.
