Surely to God this Greenburg thing cannot be true. I ran into an old client of mine who now works at the Bulldogs and when I brought up Gallop getting punted his response was-
"You know who will make a really good CEO, Todd Greenburg. As much as I don't want to lose him at the Bulldogs it would be great for Rugby League"
He said this with a smirk on his face and I just took it that he was **** stirring because he knows I hate Greenburg. Now I'm not so sure.
It wasn't long ago that we had Shane Richardson announcing in the media 'his' idea of playing all Sydney games at two main stadiums. This couldn't have received a more negative response from fans if it tried yet a couple of months later we find out that this was not just an idea, the NRL already had a complete plan ready to present to club CEO's including financials, details on members seating arrangements, hospitality etc etc.
Now we have another talking head in Annesley telling Journalists he thinks Greenburg would be the best option. Where there is smoke there may be fire and so far this does seem to be the modus operandi of the new commission. First they test the water by having one person release a statement to media making out it is their idea alone and if response is good proceed, if the response is bad, do it anyway.
