Blake Solly finally got his feet under the table last week as Super League’s new General Manager.
Based mainly at Media City in Salford, although retaining one foot in the door at the RFL’s HQ at Red Hall in Leeds, Solly admits to a feeling of anticipation in his new role, and he has a clear vision of what his new job entails.
“I am very happy to be the Super League General Manager, and 100 per cent committed to promoting the Super League competition,” said Solly, who was the RFL’s Director of Standards and Licensing until the end of May.
“I’ve been starting to sink my teeth into the role, and I’m working closely with our Marketing Director Mark Foster to produce a strategy that will improve the profile and commercial performance of the competition.
“You can describe my role in terms of three elements – revenue, bums on seats and a higher media profile.”
