    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/penrith-stadium-rebuild-scrapped-after-costs-soar-20230825-p5dzde.html Glad that white elephant proposed by Stuart Ayres will never see the light of day. So yeah, that tribalism so paramount to Sydney clubs is going just splendidly. Doesn’t seem like PVL...

    Yeah really gotta love the “if you take marvel out of the equation” types. Haha if we just take away all the smart business operations of AFL over the past 30 years then yes NRL is on the same level hahaha. Before covid the media rights deals (where every code in the world makes their most...

    Haha and just like that PVL does a complete 180 on Perth team. He’s now suddenly pro Perth. https://nitter.it/pic/orig/enc/bWVkaWEvRnkzc2NXbmFRQUFCSGJTLmpwZw== Hopefully the West Australian article can be seen. PVL saying that it’s Uncle Nick that’s the visionary that wants to get to 20 teams...

    At least you’d bump up media rights deal significantly to compete with AFLs deal and growing ratings and national interest. This pie in the sky horse shit about Rugby League getting even a slither of the US market is hilarious. Play two games a year on the same weekend in Vegas and think it’ll...

    The alt? Haha you idiots have like 3 IQ points between you. I’ve no other accounts on here. This is a thread to discuss and/or critique PVLs leadership of NRL. As soon as anyone critically examines anything PVL puts on the table his dick jockeys on here lose their shit and go all in on the tin...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Yes it was. They had a plan to relocate North Melbourne to Gold Coast. They offered them $100m over ten years to move. Their preference was for relocation of smaller Melbourne club. A deal North were stupid not to take. When North dug in and refused to move, the AFL ruled out plan A and...

    You mean clubs that were actually in the comp and relocated 100% to the new city. Swans and Lions don’t go back to south Melbourne or Fitzroy and play two games a year at some old dump of a stadium so a few thousand geriatrics can swoon about the olden days. I went to Nth Sydney oval to watch...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Huh? What world you live in? AFL plan is for continual growth. They’ve gone from 12 to 14, 15 and 16 and for the last decade 18. Their media rights deal finishes in 2032. They will have Tasmania as 19th within 5 years. Do you seriously think they are planning to stop at 19 and have teams on a...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Bwhahaha seriously if you took PVL cock out your mouth for 5 minutes you might actually see that these “secret plans” are just copying the AFL blueprint. He even praises the AFL in the article. The bloke just goes with the wind. Beta PVL - “One of the reasons the AFL do so well is they have 18...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Firstly, it took most clubs 3 preseasons to get their players fit enough to be able to play to the six again rule week in week out. The blowouts since covid 2020 never needed to happen, as the game was great before all the rule changes. Second, the dolphins supposedly had 32k fans at Suncorp...

    There are many reasons Collingwood is massive, here are just five: 1. an original club 2. Working class 3. Highly successful prior to WW2 4. Metropolitan zoning 5. Working class families that moved to cheaper suburbs and bred like rabbits Collingwood and Souths are the two most similar clubs...

    It was on the asic site i think (i got it from big footy though haha). They’ve taken it down. Must have been a mistake to put it up. I assume they will “officially” release it in the week they play the lolphins. Why would you wear a “city” jersey so blatantly “Brisbane” against anyone else but...

    Who said they were infallible ffs? I gave you an example of the best executed expansion franchise of any code in recent memory. One team city decides to expand to two clubs. Split the city in two with WSW and Sydney FC. Huge success for their code. It’s exactly the example NRL should have...

    If this is reference to me? Nope. Former Balmain. Always disliked both the broncos growing up on Gold Coast and NSWRL’s treatment of QLD players. Moved back to Melbourne then Super league happened. Balmain administration failed to move to Melbourne and stayed with ARL. Still followed them in...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    You seem to have completely misunderstood point. Are western United and MacArthur 2nd clubs in their respective cities though? Ah that’s right they are the 3rd clubs. And was I praising A-League expansion in Sydney and Melbourne with 3rd clubs? No. Both Melb City and WSW were each cities...
