You guys are all off your rockers if you wouldn't take Gallop with open arms. Roar_Brisbane wrote:RedKat wrote:Id take Gallop. Think he is has done a good job with NRL. Yes he has flaws but as people like to forget there is no one that doesn't have flaws. Would be a huge signing in the Australian sporting landscape. Not the man to lead us forward. My post from the previous page. How about his failed tv negations, the amount of time it took to implement the commission, not realizing GC were 50 million in debt, his inability to make the tough decisions in regard to having to many Sydney based clubs. Has delayed expansion in WA and Qld. Not being able to expand the game in Victoria. Just off the top of my head. 1) Failed TV negotiations? Are you aware of something the rest of the country isn't? All indications are that the NRL will get a big deal. 2) The time it took to get the commission up and running had absolutely nothing to do with Gallop. It was political maneuvering between the two main states. 3) In your opinion. At most the Sharks should have been canned but it might still prove to be a great move to retain them. 4) Delayed expansion has been deliberate. The game hasn't had the talent or resources to thin itself. Gallop has consolidating until the next TV deal and now given it a real time frame. Contrary to your opinion, his handling of expansion will prove to be terrific and in direct contrast to how our code has handled it. 5) Storm are doing fine. Not sure what your definition of success is but it has been a much greater success than the A-League expansion, in crowd numbers, on-field success and still being alive. AFL's expansion in to Gold Coast and GWS thus far has been abysmal but I don't see the criticism coming in to them.
