Newscorp and International League expansion

[Last Week]

Can you give me a source for thst?

A simple Wikipedia search for ARLC will show you.

But basically, when news left, the old ARL was restructured and essentially became the commission. The ARLC are the governing body of all league in Australia. That's why they're the ones doing the job search for the Kangaroos coaching position.

 

[RL The greatest game]

Its a pity some involved in Rugby League in Australia can't see the millions of Dollars a properly run international would bring to the game.

f**king idiot. "NRL" is the name of the premier competition. ARLC are the controlling body of the entire game in the country.

ARLC = RFL
NRL = Super League.

Got it?

 

[RedVee]

The ARLC, but the NRL is the brand they use for much of the elite level.

That's not exactly true. The ARLC are like the RFL board. The CEO of the NRL is akin to being CEO of the RFL.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

The arlc is the board. The nrl is the administration and a brand name. They both run the game. They're two parts of the same organisation.

Its not even the same as the rfl and super league because super league is controlled by clubs.

 

[langpark]

I'm glad everyone here seems to be as skeptical as me. Absolutely nothing to get excited over in this article. Unless extremely vague talk of future plans excites you. "Global. Asia, Europe, USA" was about as specific as this article ever really got. Next!

So what does john grant and the rest of the ARLC board do???


See the problem is the ARL/ARLC haven't done what the RFL did 10-12 years ago.....at the time ESL was a seperate entity,like the NRL is now,but the RFL recognised that the clubs held way too much power and incorperated super league into the RFL...Now the RFL run it


down under that hasn't happened...thats why theres confusion over who runs the game!!....john grant & the ARLC should be the boss & overiding governing body......but they aren't cos the NRL,NRL CEO & CLUBS have become too powerful....it should have been nipped in the bud years ago...

What?

There is zero confusion over who runs the game.

You're getting confused over acronyms, just replace ARL commission with NRL commission, that's all it is.

So who runs the sport in Australia outside of the NRL?

You poms are coming at this from the UK angle where the RFL/FA are separate to the SL/EPL.

The ARLC runs all rugby league in Australia. Same as the FFA runs the Socceroos and A-League, etc.

You're getting hung up on the ARLC/NRL thing, they're not separate organizations.

Ok, so the NRL runs everything including juniors, the amateur game, unaffiliated leagues and the international team.

Maybe that explains why the Kangaroos are currently scheduled to have played one match in two years.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

The nswrl, qrl, crl, warl etc run grassroots comps but they all answer to the nrl. Alas.

 

[deal.with.it]

The ARLC decides on all matters. The day to day operations is headed by the ceo who must follow the arlc's objectives.
The NRL brand is the most recognised brand.
The nrl clubs don't have too much power. They don't have the power they used to. That's why the arlc was formed. To do what is in the best interests of RL in aus.
For example, touch football in australia is now branded nrl touch football. The arlc's decision to invest in the pacific is why it's nrl development officers in the pacific. The same reason why GDOs (Game Development Officers) around the country are now NRL GDOs, rather than ARL GDOs, as they were 2 years ago.
ARL doesn't exist anymore. NRL (not the nrl clubs) is now the managing body (encompassing all rl in australia). But each manager must follow the arlc's objectives. And with grant as chairman and other astute business people, that's why RL has changed directions.
The NRL clubs would actually have to get arl commissioners or maybe state chairmans to side with them to get rid of grant. But then a new chairman doesn't mean better results for the nrl clubs. The commissioners what keep doing what they're doing.
The negative press is simply news corp journos pressuring the arlc and nrl management. Particularly because they thought fox had missed out.
At the same time fairfax journos were reporting how it is impossible for "super league 2" or inserting a puppet chairman by the nrl clubs.

 

[deal.with.it]

If anything, thd commission should have been branded NRLC to avoid any confusion. Though it's really not that confusing.

There is 100% scope for the NRL to have massive growth in England. Particularly the north in the ancestral homeland of League.
People talk about trying to grow the NRL in NZ which has 4.4 million people the north of England has nearly 15 million this doesn't even take in to consideration you would also have access to the entire 60 million plus inhabitants of the UK. The outlay involved would be much smaller than potentially having to prop up a failing team on the Southern Island.
Comparing the ESL to the NRL is like comparing the A League to the Premier League. Yet rugby league fans back home don't have mainstream access to watch it.
The NRLs number one priority in selling itself abroad and expanding should be making sure the NRL is televised on Sky Sports in some shape or form.
Even if they have to take slightly less money in the short term than they are from Premier sports right now it should be viewed as a worthwhile investment in the future of the NRL brand and every team in the competition.

Sky won't pay for the NRL. They don't think they need it and won't give it the coverage it warrants.
