WOW baz, the title and meaning of this thread is he doing a good job, not is he a top bloke. He may well be a great guy, a good father who knows but his misgivings in runner the NRL and massive
lets remember Gallop as CEO, is responsible for the funding, and running of the game. He negotiates the contracts, he allocates the funds. With his abilities he is able to fund teams to roughly 30% of operating costs.That is atrocious considering the obstacles
He decided the Gold coast business model would go the distance and obviously hasn't checked up since, even though they appear almost monthly for another hand out to pay players. Where was his duty of care
He sets the cap, he sets the squad sizes, he tells them when they play, he tells them who and when they lose the rep players, he tells them how much compensation they get for Monday night games. None of this is a negotiation process, although they have an annual conference where many leading coaches don't bother attending as they deem it a worthless exercise
He limits sponsorship , he allows some teams an opportunity to attract sponsorship with weekly prime time viewing but dismisses claims by Canberra and cronulla to do the same. He creates an un even playing field off the field in this partnership
I don't give a rats arse about the judiciary, the game is broke and he is the money man, epic fail
Apparently the gold coast is an area of great importance when implemented due to league uptake and the impending AFL team, but with the same obstacles in western Sydney, the club CEO's claim he has offered no help, advice, or diddly squat
The NRL want to expand but have no money to do so , they are essentially reliant on mining magnates to fund inclusion and expansion. How is that a plan for success and future growth.There a **** load of hope in that business plan
Look baz, Gallop may be a good fella, , but there are plenty of nice fellas on the dole and he should be one of them
