GOULD OR BENNETT TO SUCCEED GREENBERG?
Matty Johns has revealed that Phil Gould and Wayne Bennett are being mentioned as potential replacements for NRL CEO Todd Greenberg.
Greenberg has been heavily criticised for overspending and mismanagement of NRL funds and is not expected to have his contract renewed beyond 2020.
“A name that is starting to be bandied about as a successor to Todd is Phil Gould,” Johns said on Fox League Live.
“Gus has been mentioned and Wayne Bennett’s name has also come up over the last 24 hours,” James Hooper replied.
“He has been there and done it at all levels of the game Gus and is certainly a highly intelligent bloke with skin in the game.
“It would be left-field and he would have to want to do it. You know him really well personally. Could you see Gus wanting to take on a challenge like that?”
“One thing about Gus that would suit the game is he is not a populist,” Johns replied.
“He sometimes says and does things that irritate people and get on people’s nerves and that doesn’t worry Gus at all.
“That is the sort of bloke you want in charge that is going to be able to back Peter V’landys up and make unpopular decisions sometimes for the betterment of the game.”
