Serious leaders like our new Chairman will eat Greenberg for breakfast. YOURE OUT OF YOUR DEPTH TODD

 

[mike]

@Tiger_Steve Yeah he pretty much called him out. Put up or shut up.

Let those Muppets at NRL hq have it, Barry!

 

[sheer64]

Unless he gets stabbed in the back by his own board.

Good stuff. Bazza having a crack at the NRL and Ashfield announcing the Balmain bailout on the same day. Concerted effort there and I don't think by accident.

Jog on Toddy.

 

[Telltails]

Exactly what was required.

 

[gallagher]

It's so refreshing to hear the new leaders in the club being bullish. First Maguire referring to us as a big club and what O'Farrell said today. Great leaders whi can see how big we can be and obviously knowing how to get there. And not afraid to broadcast it.

 

[gallagher]

And he brushed the 'we merged so it shouldnt be us' crap. That's just pity talk. Losers talk like that.

 

[diedpretty]

Or maybe stabbing Go was about fast tracking O'Farrell in to the role.

 

[fibrodreaming]

I like what I'm hearing from our new chairman. He's made NRL HQ seem rather foolish. He will not be pushed around. Great signs.

 

[Snake]

Good comments first up and a back hander to the NRL .

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Only early days but for Baz to dip a bouncer to the administration on his first delivery is a pretty good start IMO.

I would think B O'F will have those clowns covered. Marina Go was outstanding in her efforts for the Wests Tigers but if anything, she was probably a little naive and just a tad "too nice". O'Farrell is neither of those things. If it means getting down and dirty, Barry will do it. And then some. You don't survive in NSW politics as long as he did without being prepared to roll the sleeves up.

It would be interesting if Peter Beattie woke up and started ushering Todd toward the door. There has to be a reason Todd is still there and it can't be his fantastic record as CEO.

 

[TheDaBoss]

GO in on them Baz

 

[Harvey]

Great start. For all the talk of Go being undermined, given her background she should have known how to take advantage of the media to apply pressure.

One thing (ex) politicians know about is spin & strategic announcements
