You have to respect the integrity of these two guys. It said alot about the fact that gallop has not done the right thing and sorted this out with a meeting before this night when they met for the first time face to face.
Listening to glenn s' speech after getting the ccm, he's clearly a plain talking country boy (is the gong country?) and not one for playing the 'sophisticated' game of forced smiles and politically convenient handshake/photo opps.
he and his brother had thought about their opportunity to actually speak to the head of the nrl and they didn't think it appropriate to 'play the game' like gallop was. they wanted him to inhabit the role of the head of nrl fullly, not just as it suited him in front the cameras.
