Any supporters of these clubs who whinge about their treatment deserve to be heartily laughed at. They're protected species.

And not just in Rugby League, it occurs in every pro sport competition on the world. There are people that believe in the NFL that there isn't just bias but that the competition is rigged!

Brandy has suggested that Toovey could be the one (https://www.sportingnews.com/au/league/news/nrl-coronavirus-ceo-todd-greenberg-peter-vlandys-greg-alexander-geoff-toovey-rugby-league-2020/1lgp7p9mtmoq81y21x5fgmcgfc).

Still think Ikin would go ok, he speaks common sense.
Jimmy Smith always seems to hit the nail on the head as well when he talks. Not saying that makes him CEO material though.
A RL man who has played the game, understands it, and can think using common sense and unbiased, measured reasoning. Can't be that hard to find can it?
Bwaiff, Sammy B and Greg Inglis combined perhaps? There wouldn't be enough brain matter between those 3 to fill a shot-glass.....

That's not entirely true, he is a qualified accountant and was on the board of the NRMA, so has some experience, just not a lot!

Freddie Fittler made some interesting comments today re Greenberg. He does make a good point re clubs pointing finger at head office and particularly Greenberg over missing thousands when they've been burning millions for years and years. I mean how any club can receive $13M per annum and $4M over the salary cap and still lose hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per year.
Also Raelene Castle just re-signed, so it's sporting head bloodshed this week.

We manage to eat our own in this game': Fittler takes aim at wasteful NRL clubs
By Laine Clark
Brad Fittler believes former NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg can walk away with his head held high, saying "incredible" club spending contributed to the game's financial plight exposed by the coronavirus crisis.
After months of speculation that he was losing support, broadcast partner Channel Nine's explosive attack accusing the NRL of mismanagement appeared to be a catalyst for Greenberg 's resignation on Monday.
But NSW coach Fittler said "impatient" clubs should have been held accountable before the finger was pointed at Greenberg over the NRL's precarious financial position during the pandemic shutdown.
"We manage to eat our own in this game and we just don't stop," Fittler told 2GB Radio.
"You've got to say, (Greenberg) has been held accountable for the whole finance of the game and what everyone looked back and thought was quite poor running of the game.
"When you look at the clubs and the amount of money wasted on their CEOs and their bosses going in and out of the clubs, it's incredible.
"The amount of wastage we have in this game. There's an absolute lack of patience going on at the moment."
Fittler's comments come days after a News Corp report revealed NRL clubs had lost a combined $31 million in 2019 despite annual grants from the governing body from the lucrative broadcast agreement.
A report had also claimed there had been 100 different CEOs and chairs in the last five years among the clubs, contributing to excessive spending.
Fittler felt for Greenberg, saying the former NRL boss should be proud of what he achieved during his four-year tenure.
"I think everyone would agree that Todd's always stood up and he's answered all the big questions," he said.
"I think the finances of the game have been what tipped him over the edge, but there's some things that he's done (that have been) fantastic.
"The growth of the women's game has been on his watch and I think that's probably been the most exciting thing that's happened in footy in the last couple of years.
"He can walk away with his head held high."

Which comments? He seems very pro for the game returning and ch9 seem against it.

That seems quite the opposite of the 9 agenda if you read above..about them wanting Todd gone..
