    Question on Peter V'landys

    Haha what is ur incessant compulsion to compare or demean rival codes. It’s true some Afl players haven’t covered themselves in glory In the past few months. Lachie Hunter and Stevens included plus the Crows not adhering to social distancing requirements when training. Player behaviour in any...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    I, and most Qlders I know, referred to them as Easts, Eastern Suburbs or the Tigers all the time. To avoid confusion about whether u were talking QRL or NSWRL you would say Easts Tigers (as opposed to the long winded Eastern Suburbs Tigers) to avoid people thinking u were referring to Balmain...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Is this for real? Haha yes I called them Easts Tigers. Specifically so not to confuse people with the Roosters, because I was only gonna call them Easts. Although if we want to be 100% diehard then they were actually called Coorparoo first so maybe real Easts fans are only those that still...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Haha someone gotta remind u of your roots Regardless of where i was born or lived I bet I know Rugby League, and Aussie rules, history better than most. I love how you didn’t challenge the validity of what I said, just focused on where I was born. Cause i haven’t lived most of my life in...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Yep why would employees being made redundant without consultation be upset? It’s the refs fault the game might not be able to re-start... My god just consult some stakeholders ffs and stop playing this out in front of the media for the benefit of PVL... The fact the board and ex football players...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    Is that a satirical article?? Haha PVL clearly walks on water and is the second coming of Christ haha why does Sydney always have this incessant need carry on about it being no.1 haha it’s ludicrous. Both Aussie rules and league are here to stay. It’s so obvious playing things out in the media...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Same could be said of everything the NRL has done since COVID19 - whether it’s the media deal, negotiating with gov and players, NRL staff, refs and changing rules mid season. Playing it all out publicly in the media, every dispute and negotiation, is just not necessary. The job could have...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Well the VFL was actually it’s own super league in 1896 when teams left the VFA to start it. I’d suggest the main reason Murdoch couldn’t start a super league rival to the AFL is because the clubs signed over to the AFL in the mid 80s. Team names, player contracts and licensing were all owned...

    Financial fragility of the game

    Agree 100%. Just cause a person says there’s a legally binding contract doesn’t mean it’s true. As if he’s gonna come out in public and say there’s no contract anymore cause COVID means we can’t meet our contractual obligations. And clearly the fact they negotiating at all would support the...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    What’s the lack of leadership you speak of? They announced that they would shut the game down until 31 May as a minimum. This was always going to mean a 2 to 4 week training program would need to be completed by the players. This means mid June/July was always planned to be the earliest start...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    It would seem like Nine has all the power in this situation. It’s almost like the NRL are in breach of the 2018-22 media contract by failing to provide 25 rounds of league in 2020.... oh wait... hang on a second the NRL are in breach.... And people wonder why Nine have them by the balls

    Question on Peter V'landys

    How so? Please expand and tell me how the NRL can unilaterally amend the terms and conditions of the 2018-2022 media deal without Nine and Foxtel consent? Geez it’s almost like I’m saying the media networks hold the power and if the NRL can’t meet its legal obligations then all relevant...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    What world are you living in? Nine and Foxtel signed a deal for 2018-2022. Truly a partnership? Do you understand how a business works? Do you know the advertising revenue Nine and Foxtel have lost this year cause NRL can’t produce a product. So on your thinking, if it’s a true partnership...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Haha am I really? Haha your response says it all. I make an extremely valid legal point. And your response is to throw a tantrum and call me names. A party that claims an Act of God has prohibited them from performing their contract obligations must still abide by the full terms and conditions...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    It’s called stakeholder engagement. Before deciding to unilaterally amend the terms of the 2018-2022 media contract by publicly committing to a 15 game season I guess the NRL probably should have negotiated with their contractual partner and no.1 stakeholder (Nine). I mean Nine is only the...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    In terms of contract. If you claim the Act of God clause. Then the NRL have to deliver on the rest of terms of the contract. They have to provide a 25 game season, 3 State of Origin Games, Internationals and Women’s NRL etc. The NRL just can’t yell “Act of God” click it’s fingers and change the...

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Haha holding discussions. Now who’s speaking BS, no offence? They are re-negotiating the deal. The NRL chairman even uses the word “negotiation”. I do understand complexity of the matter much more now I’ve been corrected on the voided vs termination aspect of an Act of God clause. I admit I...
