That would be very difficult whilst he is still employed by Salford I would expect.
Not really it's only questions and he wont have to give anything away about Salford. Steve Hampson was at the last one I went to so I don't think it would be that much of a problem.
Another interesting point that DA brought up was the increase in salary cap for the NRL and what it means. The financial power of the NRL will be a HUGE problem for us as the debut year academy players will be on 50k and the big names like Smith, Cronk, Thurston will be somewhere around the million mark. He also went into detail about why they are much better than us in Aus and how he bugged McManus for ages to get training facilities similar to the NRL to be able to compete at the top level.
McManus told us his view on the financial state of the game and how it can be solved and gave some hints about the next chief executive who can take the game to a new level.
