    So the only new NRL clubs to be admitted must be owned by LC's? Well that's going to discount expansion beyond 3 states lol Pretty sure the Balmain and Illawarra sides of NRL clubs had to bail when no longer able to afford the ownership? Newcastle were broke hence why they sold to Tinkler...

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    He had a avg game by RL standards. He's a messiah by ARU standards. Shows where the two sports are at I suppose lo.

    Weve seen members owned club (LC's at least) get into trouble and we've seen private owned clubs get into trouble. We've seen LC owned clubs do well and we've seen privately owned clubs do well. That'd suggest either model can work or can fail and its more about the people running them than the...

    Obviously, but it isnt a popularity contest! Its not like they are flush will options by look of it. 6 weeks on and still nothing resolved for what's next. At the very least would it have hurt for the NRL to show him some respect given the millions he's pumped into grassroots RL to keep the...

    funding grass roots doesn't cover the $50mill start up costs (WA) Or 100mill'ish (NZ) needed. So wheres that coming from if not private investors?

    So wheres the $50mill start up coming from if not from private investment? And why get people to waste money and time if they didnt want a private investment model when they knew 7 of the 9 bids were based on that model?

    Whilst I'm not surprised by Vlandys poor communication and generally sht way he goes about the games business (I mean leaking the news in the media before talkign to the bids? who does that?), what is clear since is that the bids were expected to put up $20mill license fee. The fact two of the...

    they start lower than the announced avg and finish higher, giving an AVERAGE over the course of the contract! It doesnt start at $400mill and finish at $470mill when its a$400mill avg lol Cant believe we are still having this conversation.

    No, hes been making that sht up for years lol. Deals are announced as a total and an avg. In accounting it they take that avg and add/minus around 2%-5% a year to give the overall avg. So if the avg is $400mill cash a year for 5 years then Yr 1 is $400mill minus 4%, Yr 2 minus 2% yr 3 $400mill...

    Doesnt surprise me, Vlandys has proven to be a sht negotiator and seemingly a not very nice person, respect isnt his forte. Shame, walking away from a $30mill start up investment and putting at risk $400mill+ of Govt funding for the game in an AFL state for any of the reasons Wb has speculated...

    Souths have announced they’ll be paying at optus in 2025. I expect it will be a double header with dolphins the other ‘home’ team. good they are moving more to Suncorp. Kayo stadium isnt fit for nrl games.
