He is the former administrative wonder boy whose reputation has taken a battering but Todd Greenberg hopes his future ambitions in sports management have not been soured by successive internal investigations centred on him.

An independent report compiled by barrister Dominic Villa, released on Friday, cleared the NRL head of football of any suggestion he had been made aware, when he was Canterbury chief executive in 2010, of bets placed on league games by Ryan Tandy.

The green light for Greenberg came only eight months after another independent inquiry commissioned by the NRL’s integrity unit found no wrongdoing in his conduct during the Ben Barba affair. Greenberg’s name has unquestionably been damaged by both episodes despite being cleared, raising doubts over whether he can ever hope to one day be elevated to the top job at Rugby League Central as had appeared his destiny when Dave Smith signed him as his No.2.

‘‘I’d like to think people would judge me on my performance as the NRL head of football going forward rather than on some of the things that have been mentioned over the last few months,’’ Greenberg said on Friday night. ‘‘I’ve got to do a good job in my current role and people can judge me on that. That’s what I’d ask people to do, is judge me on what I’m doing now.
