Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3119226, member: 9326"] I'm sorry, but I don't think it's acceptable to have a former NSWRL Chief Executive in charge of the NRL. It's probably not acceptable to have a former QRL Chief Executive in charge either for that matter, though it would be far harder for them to wield any personal bias as they'd no doubt be kept on a much tighter leash. Queenslanders would never accept a person like that, any more than the blokes in NSW would accept a senior QRL official. The game is far too tribal and partisan to ever allow for such an appointment. The candidate needs to be as neutral as possible and as far from state influence as can possibly be achieved. Moreover, the game needs to really decide once and for all if it really does want to be a nationally relevant sport or not, and appointing a bloke straight out of the NSWRL with their long, consistent history of Sydney-centric mentality, regardless of the qualifications he brings to the table, is a million miles from the right move for the game at such a critical juncture.
