    Question on Peter V'landys

    Yes it was my guess based on Nines aggressive approach last week and the apology from NRL - that the act of God clause would essentially amount to a void contract. My terminology and grasp of contract law was off the mark. As others have pointed out the Act of God clause doesn’t usually void a...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Guessing? As to what? It pretty clear NRL and Nine are either negotiating a new contract or negotiating amendments to the current 2018-2022 deal. If the Act of God clause put the NRL in the stronger position they’d be telling Nine to comply with the terms of the contract wouldn’t they? So...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    They are being re-negotiated right now with Nine. V’Landys even said it after the meeting with Nine - "We're a little bit apart, and that's what you do in negotiation and you try and get to the position where everyone's happy with”...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Great article. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps Nine has pandemic insurance - which is another reason they’d be keen for the whole season to be cancelled, aside from saving $130m.

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Yeah exactly. I want life back to normal ASAP. I want sport on tv ASAP. I’m just sick of reading the paper every day and seeing another misleading article and quote about the re start of the NRL. My god if V’landys opens an envelope, there’s a press release about it. Just quit the public...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    I guarantee the contract says nothing specifically about pandemics in the ”Act of God” clause. If it did, the NRL would be saying Nine is in breach of the contract if they refused to broadcast games when the season restarts. The NRL would also make the “Act of God” clause public just like they...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Nine are in a strong position and they know it. NRL are the ones that broke the terms of the original TV rights contract by not continuing to provide a product. The argument that the pandemic was unforeseeable and triggers an force majeure clause is pretty weak. Pandemics happen quite...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Smart... So the majority of the state wants $1.5b spent elsewhere. But if the libs are smart they should tie the hands of the next government to a rebuild no one wants? I think that would be political suicide right before an election

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Hmmm $1.5b for hospitals and schools through NSW or a rebuild of two stadiums that might sell out once a year or the next time Taylor Swift arrives... Not sure you can really try fighting fire with fire on this one. Even KPMG assessment didn’t really champion much economic benefit from the rebuilds

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Why would you play NRL GF anywhere but Sydney in an 85k stadium? Unless you want to play at MCG cause you can get 100k. Bearing in mind suncorp and ANZ are pretty much the same age the NRLs empty threat to move the GF is just BS. At least when NFL or NBA threaten a city about building a new...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Polling indicates most people don’t see any value in a rebuilding both stadiums. Whether it leads to an election win is another story. But using it to get his head and the ALP in the media for something other than Foley’s misconduct is a pretty smart move I would have thought.

    It wasn’t a shoulder charge though. Don’t be saying “I know it, you know it”... I know under NRL rules it was not a shoulder charge. And I know the shoulder charge rule was never brought in for east west shoulder to shoulder contact

    See ya Slater

    Has a transcript of the NRL judiciary’s ruling been released? My understanding is that the judiciary members deliberate their decision, call all parties back into the hearing room and then literally say their verdict (i.e. guilty or not guilty). It was slater and his lawyer that said he make...

    http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-04/cronulla-hooker-michael-ennis-escapes-shoulder-charge-sanction/7813016 What’s this Michael Ennis got off a blatant shoulder charge, no attempt to use arms or hands, in 2016??? OMG Blake Green didn’t have the ball, and was knocked on ass for several...

    See ya Slater

    What’s his record got to do with whether he was charged for a shoulder charge?? Match review thought it was a shoulder charge. Nrl judiciary reviewed the evidence and determined (for various reasons) it was not a shoulder charge. How obsessed are you with this? It’s pretty clear the ref made...

    See ya Slater

    Really?? And yet the NRL match review committee coordinator Michael Buettner used the term “bump” when Koroibete shoulder bumped Watene-Zelezniak in 2016.... "it was a desperate tackle or bump on the Panthers winger".... what’s that??? A former NRL player and NSW rep used the term “bump”??? OMG!?!?

    See ya Slater

    Exactly, wtf you on about? Section 5 law 5 relates to shoulder contact where no one is in possession of the ball. For example, kicked into the corner and two opposing players are attempting to get to the ball. I’m talking specifically about when an attacking player has possession of the ball...

    Judiciary Finals Bias

    Well well well aren’t you just a lovely person. I guarantee those two coppers have a million times more integrity, and intellect, than your good self. What a miserable sad sack you are quoting a teacher?? You know what they say about teachers, those that can’t teach.

    See ya Slater

    The NRL judiciary found him not guilty of a shoulder charge. Therefore, the referee made an incorrect decision to penalise slater. How can you not grasp that?? Under the current NRL rules Billy made a perfectly legal attempt at tackle. It’s not about what you think a shoulder charge is. It’s...

    Judiciary Finals Bias

    Wasn’t Billy’s judiciary made up of 1 Qld and 2 NSW blokes? Lindner Qld. Garlick NSW. Cochrane NSW. Stop attacking the integrity of Garlick and Cochrane. Both former policeman and upstanding members of the community
