Many people have fallen for the sacked board's propaganda that the NRL has it in for us/Greenberg is Seward's co-conspirator/the salary cap investigation was unfair/blah blah blah. Those arguments make no commercial sense for the reasons you have outlined above.
Don't forget the sacked board engaged a political specialist/master of spin during the salary cap fiasco.
Hearing Max Donnelley speak recently just reminded me how running the Eels is purely a business exercise and making the correct moves is rather obvious. When you remove politics everything becomes easier
I dont subscibe to the conspiracy theory that they want Parra gone, however I will subscribe to the theory that things happen behind the scene to the advantage some and disadvantage others.
When the ARL was run by Manly people, Manly got an advantage.
When Bennett was in charge of Qld, Im sure players where told to sign with the Broncos if they wanted a shot at Origin
Likewise, is it inconceivable that Bozo (a selector) had a hand in Walker getting a call up to origin when no other Footy fan could understand why. Bozo, the same guy who came in at the last minute and did the deal to get Walker to Manly (as good as a TPA)
So I hardly think that all of a sudden Todd is going to be 100% unbiased and not help say the Dogs if given half a chance.
There are still perks that come with the job and theres are deals done every day. Esp by those who have been in power for a long period of time.
Thats why I think Parra fans are the best, because we can see this and still turn up. If Broncos got done their fans would all walk and not come back until they were premiers again. They dont like adversity.
I'm pretty sure that if Foran suddenly turns up at the Bulldogs next year, we can safely assume Greenburg had a hand in it.
