Indepandance Day.

[Kramer]

The new independant commission is on track for a November 1 start.

Who do you thing should be on the board, given that it is supposed to be truely indepandant.

They would have to be sport savvy types, with some business nouse.

Your thoughts.

[redwhiteandbluester]

It's about time.

The less power News has in the game, as evidenced by the Melbourne debacle, the better.

[Guest]

A few names come to mind:

Michael Searle
Uncle Nick
Wayne Bennett (if he retires)
Shane Webcke
John Howard - yes, seriously.
John Singleton
Bruno Cullen

[Guest]

cullen, webcke, bennett?

no way.

Michael Searle
Uncle Nick
Wayne Bennett (if he retires)
Shane Webcke
John Howard - yes, seriously.
John Singleton
Bruno Cullen

No News Lts cronies allowed.

Even though Nick is involved in the push for the Independance commission
he cannot be involved in the board.

[Guest]

What's wrong with them? And I'm aware that Nick can't really be involved, but I also think he provides credibility.

[Guest]

With NRL nothing will ever be truly independent.

[Hawkeye]

John Elias
Brian Waldron
Alan Bond
Mick Gatto


Or we could go the other way, for starters:-
John Quayle
Ron Coote

A few names come to mind:

Michael Searle
Uncle Nick
Wayne Bennett (if he retires)
Shane Webcke
John Howard - yes, seriously.
John Singleton
Bruno Cullen

I'd hate to see him on the board ...he hates all things Easts

[Guest]

We can't have all Easts fans. Although it would be nice.

By all accounts, those people mentioned are extremely successful, highly intelligent operators. If anyone else wants to add some names feel free. I put some out there who I think would be good and got criticised. If you guys feel you can do better....

[Guest]

havent thought long and hard about it, but the fewer broncos criminals the better

[Guest]

How are they criminals?

[Guest]

mate if you honestly think the broncos have fielded a team legally in the last 20 years then this conversation need go no further.

[Guest]

Innocent till proven guilty. Aren't we called the Rorters by other fans anyway? And what does a biased, unfounded opinion have to do with a commission who by nature is meant to be totally independent. I want the best people on the commission. Not the people who will tow the party line. Cullen and Bennett have formed probably the strongest brand in football in the Broncos. Their skills are extraordinary.

[Chook Norris]

from what i've heard from Gallop, the commission won't be ready by November 1
