Though at the time the rumour was Moorhouse was taking over? This is interesting. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M j M Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Whilst he might have done some good stuff behind the scenes, this is undeniably good news. The game needs a visible, credible leader, who can be seen to be in control and who can clearly set out what's going on. They might not be popular, in fact they inevitably won't be - but they do need to be visible and seen to be in charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Well hopefully this is the start of the clean slate and changes through the IMG partnership. A clean out of the old guard first, that have blindly led the game to the mess it is now in, was badly needed to then move forward. To keep them in place would be to reward failure.

JohnM Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The search is now on for his and her successors.

That's going to be difficult, I think. Yes , new blood, and yes, Richard Lewis was a proper outsider with no background in the sport, so it is possible. I wonder, though, without evidence it must be said, is this the start of an/the Australian take-over? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, though, without evidence it must be said, is this the start of an/the Australian take-over? I'm not sure how difficult it would be. I see no reason why CEO of the RFL would not be a desirable job. It may not attract the top level calibre of exec, but that is probably dependant on what we are prepared to pay.

JohnM Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Understood. Knowledge of the game, the clubs, the culture would be an advantage, though, wouldn't it? Helps to know what you are up against. Still wonder, but will never know, if this whole thing is part of a bigger plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
