The RFL is on the hunt for a new CEO, and the search has led them to an intriguing candidate with a unique background. But here's where it gets controversial... While the position is currently vacant, the RFL has reportedly already identified a strong frontrunner for the top job. Tony Mestrov, a former Manly Sea Eagles CEO and player at Wigan and London, is the man in the spotlight. With his extensive experience in both the NRL and Super League, Mestrov could be the key to unlocking a new era for the governing body. However, some may question the decision, as the role has been filled by several interim CEOs since Tony Sutton's departure in the autumn. Abi Ekoku, the current acting CEO, has had to navigate a turbulent period, dealing with the liquidations of three Super League clubs and other critical issues. So, is Tony Mestrov the right choice for the job? Or should the RFL consider other candidates with more recent experience in the Super League? The answer may lie in the unique challenges facing the governing body, and the controversial decision to prioritize administrative control over the Northern Hemisphere competition. The RFL's choice will undoubtedly spark debate, and we invite you to share your thoughts in the comments. Who do you think should fill the CEO role? And what do you make of the RFL's controversial decision to prioritize administrative control?
