NRL spitting a one off: Greenberg

Canterbury-Bankstown chief executive Todd Greenberg is confident the ugly scenes at Brookvale Oval, where star fullback Ben Barba was spat on by Manly fans, is simply a one off for the NRL.

And Greenberg, who will join the NRL as second-in-command to CEO Dave Smith in August, said he is comfortable leaving the investigation in the hands of the NRL's integrity unit.

He has yet to speak to the wife of forward Frank Pritchard, Raima, over racist abuse she copped during the game - but said all findings would be funnelled through to the integrity unit.

And Greenberg doesn't have any concerns about the fan reaction when Sonny Bill Williams returns to face Canterbury at ANZ Stadium for the first time since walking out on the club in 2008.

Williams took the Bulldogs to task when the two teams met earlier this year, scoring twice as the Roosters triumphed 38-0 at Allianz Stadium.

A return to his former home ground will be a different prospect but Greenberg believes the disgusting antics which confronted his players on Friday will not be seen again at any ground this year.

"I just think last Friday night people's emotions spilled over at Brookvale," Greenberg said on Wednesday.

"It was very ordinary. I made that clear.

"But I don't think that's a sign of anything coming or going. It was just a one-off.

"We're really looking forward to Friday night."

Greenberg says whatever bad blood there was between Williams and the Bulldogs disappeared long ago, pointing to their post-match handshake as proof perfect that everything was settled.

"As much as everyone would like me to say something controversial about Sonny leading into Friday night, you won't hear it from me," he said.

"Sonny and I shook hands on that night. We've moved on, he's moved on, the Bulldogs have moved on."
