Dave Smith quits as NRL CEO after three years in charge, John Grant named interim boss

Dave Smith has stepped down as CEO of the NRL. Pic Brett Costello
DAVE Smith has quit after a tumultuous three years as the boss of the National Rugby League.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal he is scheduled to inform staff at League Central headquarters and the game’s key stake holders at 10am today that he would be stepping down from the chief executive officer’s role.

NRL chairman John Grant will take over Smith’s responsibilities as interim CEO.

The independent commission will undertake a world wide recruitment search to identify a new leader before the start of next season.

The breakdown in broadcast rights negotiations and an unsettled relationship with NRL clubs was believed to be the pivotal reasons behind his decision to leave.

Smith only recently told the Daily Telegraph that he had no plans to quit but pressure over his failure to complete a $1.7 billion TV and digital broadcast rights deal forced him out.

Does he get his bonus?

Great news. Hopefully they will get someone related to the game this time around. Someone who understands the game and not just out to make $$ at the expense of the game itself

They will probably get someone with the same mentality just a money maker

He "successfully" negotiated the next TV deal so yes, he gets a big bonus.
