[Charmamba]

Melbourne Storm NRL chief executive Brian Waldron has defected to new Super 15 rugby franchise Melbourne Rebels.

His position at the NRL club will be filled by the club's former chief operating officer Matt Hanson.

Waldron joins the Rebels, who are set to join an expanded competition next year, after five years with the NRL champions.

Bloody good pickup by the Rebels, you might have hated him but as a CEO is was very good and has a AFL background on top of league to help the new club take on league while fitting in with AFL

Agree Russo good pickup, but I am glad this idiot is out of the game!!!

With Fitzgerald gone, who will take the title of the biggest whinger CEO this year?

My money is on Graham Lowe. Manly are natural whingers.

Gotta give him credit for being a good CEO, no doubt in my mind that he had a major part in building the Storm into the team they are now.

The Storm have had great success with their "us versus the rest" mentality. I imagine the new guy will just pick up where Waldron left off - he'd be silly not to.

Like him or hate him - Waldron is a top sports administrator. The Storm and I also think RL in general will miss him.

Sorry Flutter had to remind you of this :P

I don't think she need reminding that someone who she once respected turned out to be an ass dude.

Plus he is a top sports admin, got the best deal for his players didn't he.

Yeh but i expect she will take it as a joke.

And yeah you do have a point about that he did indeed get his players the best deal.
