He’s actually extra experienced, he was dealing with two caps at the same time

Has Dave applied?
That would be fucking awesome if true. Poach the best CEO in the game.

He was a long time after that, Gauci & Evans preceded him.

Gauci also reportedly applied, but sounds like didn't make the shortlist

If true, might be one of the very few sensible decisions this board has made over the past god knows how many years.

I know everyone is blowing their load over anyone associated with the storm but have they even turned a profit yet? Have had a pretty successful 20 years

Well for me it's along the lines of him being a part of a very successful team that has put the football side first.
The storm who have a great scouting and pathways setup going... something we could use... including his contacts with scouting staff currently in Melbourne's setup
Have a football department headed by a GM of football... Ponissi would be a great pick up for the broncos as well, and he may be able to get him to follow him to Brisbane.
There would be hope that the board would entrust him to setup the football department the way it should be and he as a CEO knows that he needs the football department to be separate from him. Instead of micro managing it and being overly involved with it
People may also be happy to see a more football orientated CEO being preferred rather than a pure business CEO coming in, because it at least gives a perception that the board understand a focus on the football department is required

imagine if I had have said that, lol
a report in the Australian newspaper in Feb this year said that the club has been independently valued at $31 million. Although, the report didn't mention profit margins, i doubt they are valued that high without some profit margins

still a bit much work to scare the Storm into giving him more money ... surely a 10 second phone call to Badel, is much easier and just as effective
