Would he be allowed to work for Nine and work on the Commission? V’landys has two gigs. Anyway, he definitely doesn’t need the money
Seriously doubt it

one of the commissioners was as an ex FoxSports employee then she left to get another hands on role

a director gets like 80k a year on the commission

Gus would be on a million at nine plus dogs job

pvl doesn’t need him anyway and they would but heads

Gus went off pvl for ages

Not arguing with you brother, but that doesn't seem right... Surely they get more than that? (again, I have no idea just surprised at that number)

It went up to 1.2 million for eight directors

its a part time job mostly on the phone

the board don’t run the game they set the strategy

it’s different to the nrl executive who run the game

they get paid millions

abdo is on around 700k base large bonuses

pvl works as ceo of nsw racing who pay him millions and he does the chairman of the arl as well

They get $150k each plus substantial expense allowances. Not bad for a part time gig.

How much extra did they give them?

Gould has already worked some magic previously, helping New Zealand Rugby League more than double its funding from the NRL.

As such, part of that new revenue has gone towards a brand new under-20s competition which NZRL boss Greg Peters believes will pay off 10-fold in the long run

How much was double?

Gus would be on close to a mil at the Dogs. He'd be getting chump change from Nine given its only a few hours a week.

I say chump change, it's probably still very lucrative. I wish he'd give it up though, he's wearing too many hats and it's clear he's got conflicts of interest.

Any hate for Brandy? I think he knows exactly what he is doing.

Calling for Hynes to be dropped before an elimination final. And guess which team they run into next week if they beat the Cowboys?

I like his podcast. I've heard him say he likes to be 'entertaining' with his commentary so he clearly stirs shit up in the commentary box. But I don't watch Nine.

He's an icon of the game and will be sadly missed when his gone.

Brandy has always struck me as having a pretty vindictive, almost scared side to him. A lot of opinions he has seem to either work in favour of his club, against those they might be playing, or in regards to the Warriors where he seems to feel a bit aggrieved about his time there.

As others have said, I'd very much doubt it. He would be wanting to comment on matters decided by the Commission which he may have been outvoted on, and commenting via the media would put him at odds with the other Commissioners.

V'Landys though is in a different boat. Firstly he is Chairman of the ARLC, whilst he is CEO of Racing NSW. They are not direct competitors per se, nor is it a position paid for by a media organisation like Channel Nine.

Two times what it was before

But clearly not zero as you said
whwere have I said it was zero? If it was double $300k meh, if its double $3mill great stuff and well done.
So what actually was the increase? You seem to think it was a lot so must know?

When you look at the relationship between news ltd and racing nsw you could argue there is in fact a very serious conflict of interest for Vlandys, especially when it comes to deciding tv deals.
