Calls for Eddie McGuire to take on huge AFL role

The AFL is being outsmarted by the NRL in the pizzazz stakes and things need to change.

I`ve said it before, when you start making decisions under pressure because the fumbles obviously feel the NRL are the agenda setters here, you are much more likely to a) make bad decisions; b) look foolish and second rate or c) as we are seeing - both.

He can do for the AFL what he did when he was CEO of Channel 9

If the afl were smart they would offer Pvl whatever it takes to run their game

But it would need to be 3 to 5 million pa to get him away from racing nsw

Then again even that might not work since he doesn’t like Victoria much and has made his name putting nsw sports ahead of Victorian ones

For rugby league he’s actually more of a ceo than a chairman with abdo doing the grunt work

He should be getting at least one million pa for running the nrl not the 150k he gets as a director it’s a joke

He’s probably the only person in the game that would do that

There is no way PVL would take that up. He's got a vendetta against victoria on both the racing and football side

Maguire and Cochrane would be the two most disliked AFL identities ever. Nobody takes either one seriously. They are both absolute morons who have no chance of a position at the AFL. But if they did, it would be very, very good for rugby league.

AFL continues to be reactive. NRL is the clear leader and hopefully finally the upcoming broadcast deal will reflect that

Honestly, just STFU.

The CEO does the grunt work. Even if you go back to the heady days of Arko and Quayle at the NSWRL, Quayle was not as public as Arko was. Quayle was more publicly visible than Abdo is by comparison, but I suspect Abdo prefers the lower exposure so he can do that work whilst leaving PVL to do the PR and media side more.

Abdo has been more active in recent times, appearing on podcasts and the like. His confidence is growing.

Yeh he presents better and talks better than Pvl

That new ad AFL keeps showing on Fox League is cringe as , seems like the effort of a desperate organisation that doesn't believe in its product.

It’s contra as part of the afl tv deal from Foxtel instead of being paid more in actual cash

Is it worse than Vlad in a Maccas advert? lol

Amazing how quick the years flow. In April 2020, Abdo became the interim CEO and in September 2020, he was officially announced as NRL CEO. So Abdo is approching five years, since he took over in an interim capacity.

He is the longest NRL CEO since the game became independent in 2012. He has served longer than Smith and Greenberg. And in the NRL era, only Gallop has been CEO longer than Abdo.

I guess Abdo, who is more quiet and reserved, is fortunate to have someone like PVL, who takes so much of the spotlight in the media. In a way, they compliment each other.

When he was appointed the media bagged him as a nobody

He worked in a commercial role in the nrl

Pvl isn’t your normal chairman it’s normally the ceo that’s the face of the company

Does anybody even know who the chairman of racing nsw is
