NRL Side Parramatta Looks To Add Former Bank Exec Bill Moss To Its Board

Former Macquarie Bank Exec Dir Bill Moss has been a "self-confessed" National Rugby League club Parramatta Eels "diehard for more than 50 years," and his ties with the club "could be made official as soon as next week" if Parramatta Chair Steve Sharp "has his way," according to Chris Barrett of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. Moss' name was on Thursday "supplied to members as the chairman's nomination for the proposed eighth independent seat on the Parramatta Leagues Club board that runs the Eels." The "mooted addition is one of several resolutions to be put before members" at Monday's annual general meeting -- another is to extend the terms of future board to three years -- as the Sharp administration "seeks to provide stability to a club riven by factionalism and in-fighting in recent years." Sharp says Moss' "celebrated financial record" makes him the "sort of board candidate the Eels should be desperate to have involved." However, while his "credentials can’t be questioned his ascension to the the directors' room will not be straightforward." At least 75% of members "must vote for the resolution at the AGM for the extra seat on the board to be approved, and then if that passes Moss must get the green light from the existing directors." That "could be a hurdle with it emerging on Thursday that four of Sharp's six colleagues on the board were understood to have not been made aware of the letter about Moss sent out to members and due to land in letterboxes on Friday" (SMH, 5/1).
