If you think the game's departing chief executive looked relaxed, or even relieved, when he fronted the media after quitting, now you know why.

Greenberg’s final appearance – with his family by his side at a media conference at his house – angered some at the NRL. They were aware the stage-managed send-off was co-ordinated by NRL staffers, something that should not have been done for a former employee. This is being investigated.

There’s no doubt Abdo is the front-runner to secure the top job permanently, as we pointed out in this column last week. He’s the favoured choice of V’landys and that means the job is his to lose. However, like anyone who spends seven years at rugby league headquarters, Abdo also butted heads with people on the way up. That includes some powerbrokers at the NSW Rugby League, who have a strong voice in the game. As it turns out, his main rival for the job is probably the head of the NSWRL,The risk for Abdo is that, if he is not ultimately appointed CEO, his career path is ruined and he would probably leave the game.
