Controversy with the PNG Chiefs expansion side, Ray Dib has been sacked as the Inaugural Chairman by the NRL after only 7 months in the role.
The Courier Mail reporting that Dib was called into a meeting with ARL Commission chair Peter V’landys and NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo on Monday and told his services were no longer required. the NRL announced on Wednesday that Catherine Harris would replace Dib as chair.
Ray Dib statement
“I am disappointed I was unable to complete my tenure with the PNG Chiefs, as I had always intended to see our journey through,”
“I did not resign, because I believe in PNG and its people.
“I am committed to governance, process and transparency as foundational pillars for any successful organisation.
“I sincerely appreciate the support from Prime Minister James Marape, the Australian DFAT team, the Australian High Commission in Port Moresby, especially HC Ewen McDonald, the PNG community, and the business sector.
“My gratitude also goes to the PNG Chiefs Board members who supported me, the PNGRFL, the NRL staff and to Nick Politis for recommending me for this opportunity and for his support.
“I genuinely wish the best for everyone involved with the PNG Chiefs. The country truly deserves success.”
Peter Vlandys said when asked about if the PNG franchise was on track
“Absolutely, we’ve got accommodation and the centre of excellence organised. Everything is going to plan,” he said.
“Catherine Harris is fantastic. We’ve got a super combination with Catherine Harris and Lorna who we think are going to knock the lights out.
“We are very fortunate to have women of that calibre working with one of the most important things the ARLC will do.”

Rumours are some decisions around staff recruitment and clashes with PVL. I'd clash with PVL too though, the guy is a ****ing tosser. He probably likes a good yes man.
