Top Job in NRL to a Dragon loving ex PM......

[Billy Gunn]

Big red is hurting your Union mates. But whilst were at it, why dont we ressurect the Ruddster's AWB lies as well. Then we can sell the pair of fables as a Grand final memorial keepsake? The PM's Fairy Tale.

Terms and Conditons Apply: Lies as told by the PM do not come with a money back apology. Will exchange for carbon credits.

I don't have any union mates Melon, I thought you would be happy that she is not affraid to to stand up to them ??

We could get on to the opposition but it's better that we don't, I couldn't make Malcolm look any worse than the job he is doing on his own.

Anyway on topic Howard would be a good choice but my concern would be that it would just become another ACCC, all bark no bite. Until NEWS Ltd divest their interest there is no point.

Agree with this move 100% - no matter what anyone says, Howard knows efficiency - something our current game struggles with due to all the NSWRL's, QRL's, CRL's ARL's etc etc etc that burn money with bureaucratic bullshit.

Damn right, he'd know how to run the game a shiteload better than Gallop.

[novice chook]

If Howard ran rugby league as well as he ran the country then at least we know the game won't die from lack of funds.

Like or loathe the bloke, when it comes to profitability, he has proven he can make the grade.

He certainly wouldn't undersell the game at the TV rights negotiation table.

He has a genuine love of the game of rugby league. That's more than a lot of other contenders would have.

Colin Love's secret deal blocks John Howard

JOHN Howard is unlikely to become the first chairman of a new NRL commission, even though Gold Coast Titans boss Michael Searle approached the former prime minister to take on the job.

Searle might be one of the men bringing the commission together, but he has not been charged with the responsibility of selecting possible commissioners.

That will come down to discussions between News Ltd (publisher of The Sunday Telegraph), the ARL and NRL clubs.

Searle was obviously unaware of rumours that a secret deal has been struck by News Ltd and the Australian Rugby League to ensure that current ARL chairman Colin Love is handed the chairman's role for two years.

We understand that the only reason the idea of a commission proceeded was because the ARL made it a condition that Love would be the first chairman.

We also understand it is unlikely Love will relinquish that role to anyone, including the former PM.

Last week's The Daily Telegraph story on the approach to Howard caused some angst at NRL headquarters.

Just 24 hours earlier, the federal Labor Government had handed the NRL more than $11million in funding to build a new headquarters.

Certain Labor figures made it well known to the NRL they were not happy about the prospect of Howard becoming chairman when it was the Labor Party which engineered the funding initiative.

wtf is the point of having an independent commission when the same old fart would be at the top?

[novice chook]

I'd rather Johnny Howard over Colin Love any day.

Love is a dinasour who has pillaged the game for his own benefit for bloody years. He's made a fortune from the 'jobs for the boys' junkets and positions he's been given.

Having Love in charge would make a mockery of it being an "independent commission". He is in no way independent - he has plenty of 'old mates' to look after and will no doubt do so, given the opportunity.

What the game needs to look after its best interests is a successful and respected member of the business community who has no affiliations with any factions of the current set up.

Seems to me, if the ARL and News can come to agreement to put Colin Love in as chairman of the so-called independent commission, why can't they agree to run the game properly and negate the need for the commission in the first place??

John Howard = the unflushable turd!

All the little maggot would do is sell the stadiums, put a tax on memberships, give himself a massive payrise and claim "economic responsibile management" but leave the game gutted of any assests.

He should just dry up like the piece of dog shit he is and blow away.

Chook.
