Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2461888, member: 2221"] I would prefer a charismatic leader with a sound mind and that intrinsic knowledge of the game. The business aspect can be presented by brilliant minds, and will generally be made of cold hard facts with little discussion or arguing, as opposed to the polarity of opinions and ideas that the different interests (local and/or state) will bring to the table. It's juggling those opinions, wants and wishes that requires someone with that knowledge of the game, and in particular of the game in Australia. I've always believed that sports cannot be run as any other business, because of its unique ramifications and public interest. The Broadcast deal is one example; Should we really have gone for the most money, or should we have played hard ball and kept the scheduling under control of the NRL, even if we got less money for it, so that the clubs and their fans get a fairer outcome in the schedule? I believe we should've chosen the latter, but a strictly business CEO would never, ever do that! [/QUOTE]
