THE BOSS Dave Donaghy - Broncos CEO

[FaithinHook]

Dave Donaghy must be a big chance of getting it. Run the highly successful Storm over many years so would probably do wonders up here.

Maybe he can bring Craig and Cameron with him too.

Donaghy is an interesting candidate.

I didn't know he wanted out of the Storm system ?

 

[Galah]

Is donaghy still at the storm?

 

[Smokin' Joe]

Dave is a good guy. Spent a lot of time in Brisbane. Played Colts at Easts funnily enough.
Has been through all levels of the Storm, starting as a media officer from memory, then onto managing their cap and onto the CEO role.

Would be great for the club.

He seems to do a good job, not sure how hard a task managing the Storm's cap was though.

Wouldn't have been too hard.
For a few years they didn't have a cap.

 

[Mustafur]

Donaghy would be ideal, being from the storm he would know exactly the type of people you need in your club to make it work.

 

[Sproj]

Donaghy might also bring Ponissi with him as well, that would be wonderful!

 

[broncos4life]

Are we seriously a shot at Donaghy? That would be fucking mint.

 

[Nashy]

He seems to do a good job, not sure how hard a task managing the Storm's cap was though.

What set of books would he be looking after I wonder.

 

[Smokin' Joe]

He came in after the rorting and cleaned up a hell of a mess

 

[Unbreakable]

If we can get anyone from the Storm that they don't want to lose I'll consider it an enormous victory.

Dave Donaghy - Chief Executive Officer

Dave was appointed CEO of Melbourne Storm in June 2015 but was not new to the Club having served as a staff member on two different occasions prior to his appointment.

Dave has always been passionate about rugby league having grown up in NRL heartland Gladstone, Queensland. After graduating from the University of Queensland with degrees in political science and journalism Dave switched from a career in media to sports administration, working across a number of areas within professional sports organisations, from strategy to list management and salary cap, football operations, commercial operations, government, broadcast and media.

He has seen the club through some of its highest and lowest moments, from the salary cap issues in 2010 to Premiership wins, World Club Challenge victories, expanding the club’s commercial program and increasing membership to over 25,000.

Dave and his executive team are focused on making Storm the most successful and respected sporting club in Australia, continuing to grow rugby league in Victoria and maintaining success on and off the field.

Sorry Benny, as good as I think you could be for the CEO role, someone like Donaghy is an absolute must-have if he wants the job. Proven performer and could quickly get systems in place up here that we have been lacking, to put us on the right track.

Plus he's from Gladstone, not Rocky, so there's that too.

Badel is saying expect a public announcement in 2 weeks, but given how the club leaks information, just like it leaks points, I'd think we will know probably mid next week at the latest.

Was just a joke mate. You know what's not funny though? The Storm rorting the salary cap on an unprecedented scale and barely being punished for it.

 

[Nashy]

He came in after the rorting and cleaned up a hell of a mess

Based on that alone, he goes to the top of the 3 man list posted here.

Anyone who can fix that club, and see next to no impact on the field. Sorry Ikin.

Hell bring em all up here. We might be able to turn this joint around.

 

[Sproj]

Seriously, I am a fan of Benny but if we can get Donaghy, it is a no-brainer, sign him yesterday.

Article from CM Today says Ben Ikin, Storm Boss Dave Donaghy and former Reds chief Richard Barker are the leading candidates
