    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    The clubs are all united in collectively bargaining for greater funding, for the majority it's only about money, others it's about politics. The 16 club chairs appointed Campbell as the clubs spokesman & Doyle, Watt, Dib and Politis were appointed to the sub-committee to negotiate on behalf of...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Hes not really having a go at the ARLC, he is essentially saying the small cartel of club chairs want their influence back and the clubs on the periphery are awake to their motives and if push comes to shove will back Grant as the devil they know. The minority are usually the loudest in...

    2016 season - draw release

    nope, Thursday is the latest prediction. I'm sure the NRL will announce the time it will be released on the day before so to build traffic for it.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    The clubs are collectively negotiating for increased funding & Campbell is the delegated spokesman for all 16 clubs, that includes the agitators dib & politis. Other than Grant allegedly holding out for $2bn the article really doesn't say anything we didn't already know.

    You brought it up so why can't you explain to all us 'optimists' what is so damning about the story?

    The Folau fiasco has another dimension

    Rabs is confused and is mixing up the weekend telegraph story with what happened 3 years ago when folau was leaving AFL & Smith wasn't even ceo. Parra getting fined for being over the cap is a pretty good clue, as is apparently going to the NRL to get marquee assistance to go to a club for only...

    2016 season - draw release

    Thursday nights don't go full time until the new rights deal kicks in in 2018, we still have 2 years of Monday Night Football & delayed Friday games left.

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    Was there a revolt and we all just missed it except you? it's a club threat to gain leverage in funding negotiations, just like players going on strike during CBA negotiations, could it happen, yes, will it happen, extremely unlikely. Newscorp interest in pushing the story is because...

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    :lol: The NRL is finally defending itself against the blatant lies of Newscorp. https://twitter.com/NRLMedia/status/668158937670156288

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    Doyle originally ended up at the NRL because he was close with Grant when he was CEO of NZRL, so it's pretty funny the telegraph are now pegging him as not able to get on with Grant. I remember Doyle stressing during the press conference when he was appointed COO that it would be short term...

    2016 season - draw release

    Except they don't, which is the difference with the AFL. The NRL don't get control of draw back until 2018.

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    It's not even correct, to remove Grant they need either simple majority of 51% of members, 14/26, or super majority of 10 clubs + QRL + NSWRL. Twits can't even get that right.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    It was just a rehash of club demands around funding, Newscorp are just exploiting it now because grant didn't fall in line with their proposal and is instead still talking with Optus. It's been obvious that Newscorp editors have been briefed on the narrative to run.

    Could set your watch by these clowns, obviously their 'proposal' went over with the ARLC like a lead balloon and they are throwing another tantrum beating that same old club revolt drum.

    None of that has gone beyond speculation at this point.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    as usual the bs doesn't even make any sense, if Smith refused to use the 'warchest' how could he then attempt to dictate which club Folau went to? errrrrrr....

    one day this idiot is going to be held accountable for the crap she makes up. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/israel-folaus-potential-nrl-return-blocked-by-former-ceo-dave-smith/story-fnp0lyn3-1227617132833
