DT have upped their paywall. Can't google around it anymore.

Irrelevant to the thread but ey

EDIT: Maybe not entirely irrelevant. If News has been able to block their articles unless you subscribe what legalities come into members posting articles here?

I been trying to read some super coach stuff and I'm f**ked if I can get to them without subscription.

Saw this off Twitter. Like what he is saying around matchday pricing and affordability to families.

Prepared to give him every chance if he follows through on that.

Apart from free travel that Nrl and gov could facilitate, Game day affordability at the end of the day comes down to the clubs because outside of finals and origins that the Nrl look after it falls down to the clubs and there stadium deals. I remember reading that Sydney clubs had got together late last year to try and fix entry and food/beverage costs. So hopefully something happens this year.

I guess with clubs getting $3mill above salary cap the nrl can have some expectation that the need for clubs to to fleece fans will be reduced!

I don’t think many clubs make money from the food side of things. The stadium contracts it out, well at least in Tvl they do and the Cowbs don’t make a cent.

You'd like to think so, but you'd be a bit naive if you did IMO.

Agree! Apart from the Nrl imposed kpi targets, I really hope the clubs put the extra $$ to use.

That surprises me. Surely you'd just auction the F&B rights to the highest bidder.

Other than the sharks and maybe penriths set up, no one owns the grounds they play at

Penrith don't own their ground, they rent it from the local council. As such catering is put out to tender by the ground operators, not those who hire them. As such none of the NRL clubs earn money from food or beverage sales. You will find that many NRL grounds the catering is done by Spotless.

Same thing for merchandising. Those sold inside most grounds, the revenue goes directly to the ground owner, and it is their payments to the manufacturer which eventually finds its ways to club coffers via the NRL merchandising agreements. It is why many clubs have their own club staffed and operated merchandising boots set up just outside the ground (or a few inside the ground).

Harris sums up the biggest detriment to the games growth.

"The disappointment for me has been that there are a small group of powerbrokers who sit outside Rugby League Central and think they own our game, sadly they have a pathological incapacity to recognise opportunity when it presents itself. The women issue is just one indicator of this."

I think the fact that Harris is obviously still pissed at the obstructionist Sydney powerbrokers should be of concern to all Nrl fans. She came in as a independent and a mandate to do what’s best for the game, clearly wanted out due to these people and that’s a shame. Otherwise there would of been 2 women commissioners.

I’m not sure if it was just the structure of the article but Pappas seemed like he took those comments personally and tried to throw shade back at the commission. Guilty conscious maybe?

Peter V’landys and Glen Selikowitz two club-nominated directors for new-look ARL Commission

THE ARL Commission is close to finalising its two new directors following a vote of the 16 NRL clubs in Sydney on Thursday night.

NRL.com is reporting that Racing NSW chief executive Peter V’landys was unanimously voted in by all 16 NRL clubs while Sydney lawyer Glen Selikowitz received 10 votes compared to the six that went to former Collingwood Magpies boss Gary Pert.

Although their appointment to the new-look Commission is expected to be formalised at the annual general meeting on February 21, there is still the chance the club-appointed directors are denied a place if changes to the constitution agreed upon last year is blocked by at least two clubs.

The sweeping changes to the ARL Commission are due to the NRL clubs demanding a greater say at rugby league’s most influential table but the process has encountered a number of hiccups along the way.

V’landys has been the prime target for the clubs since the changes were proposed but a second club-appointed director had to be sought after former Broncos chairman Dennis Watt took up a similar position at the Gold Coast Titans rather than a place on the commission.

John Grant, chairman of the commission since its inception in February 2012, will vacate his post at the AGM with former Queensland premier Peter Beattie the chairman-elect.
