CEO announcement expected from NRL this week

After several months without a person in the CEO chair, the NRL is finally set to replace Dave Smith as chief executive of the competition.

ARLC Chairman John Grant has been ably filling the role since Smith stood down in late October, however News Limited reports indicate the selection panel are down to the final two candidates, and senior staff at Rugby League Central have been told an announcement is "imminent".

Speculation from News Limited suggests Todd Greenberg is among the shortlisted favourites.
