Todd Greenberg says he’ll “have a look” at the vacant NRL chief executive role when a formal job description is completed.
The NRL’s head of football is one of the favourites to replace Dave Smith, who resigned as CEO last month and with his term to be completed at the end of November.
Speaking at the launch of next year’s NRL All Stars clash in Brisbane, Greenberg – long considered one of the game’s rising administrative stars and a future NRL leader – was asked if he’d throw his hat in the ring to succeed his boss.
“I was surprised I’d get that question today,” he joked.
“The way I’ll respond is pretty simple.
“The commission are yet to formalise a position description and, once they do that, clearly I’ll have a look at it.
“Other than that, I’m not too keen to make too many comments on it.”
It was far from emphatic, but it is confirmation Greenberg, a former Canterbury CEO, is at least eyeing off rugby league’s top job.
However, he will face stiff competition with a strong group of candidates in the running as part of a worldwide search, steered by Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant.
The NRL’s strategy guru Shane Richardson, Warriors chief Jim Doyle and Gold Coast boss Graham Annesley have all been mentioned as possible contenders, while the woman who succeeded Greenberg at the Bulldogs, Raelene Castle, is also reportedly in the mix.
The commission is hopeful, but not certain, of installing Smith’s successor in time for the new NRL season.
