Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

[Canard]

Brisbane hasn't done much for Cairns.

What the f**k would you know about League in Cairns?

 

[Iamback]

They actually didn’t. They won the right to keep the board that was elected and nrl had to start the funding they had threatened to hold back, twice lol

See again that is half the story to paint NRL in a bad light.

11/12 NRL clubs wanted a new election because the Dino wasn't allowed to run.

That is when the NRL stepped in.

The Court said NSWRL was wrong for not letting Dino run

But those who got voted in did so legally so couldn't demand a new election.

Then on the funding the NRL had the power to decide how much funding it gives the states BUT it should in good faith restore it.

So it isn't one side at fault.

on to the funding, You have whinged and complained about the lack of funding of grass roots for years.

IF that is the case AND the system is broken then why is the NRL in the wrong to look at other ways to do it?

The current way may turn out to be the best way BUT the alternative hasn't even been announced yet

well let’s look at the outcome. Nswrl took them to court to a) uphold the election result and b) challenge the nrls decision To withhold funding. Did the nswrl ge the resulted they wanted in both counts? Yes or no? Vlandys lost, twice.

secondly arlc controls grassroots funding, they are already in control of that. They are the ones that have reduced it. that’s not on the qrl or nswrl, it’s on the arlc.

lets be honest since Vlandys took over it’s been:
a sht show with tv rights, a sht show with nswrl, a sht show with govt and stadiums in nsw, a sht show with Rlpa negations
this is just Yet another ugly battle apparently about to happen in the game,

Yep.

PR's best mate Dave Smith hired Shane Richardson in 2015 to look at pathways.

He came up with the Platinum League where effectively the game directly funds NSW and QLD Cup under its banner.

So they have been looking at ways to improve the system for a while now, NYC was even further back

Heads are going to explode.

PVL’S FUTURE PLANS REVEALED​

ARL Commission chair Peter V’landys isn’t going anywhere. Sports Confidential can reveal that V’landys will be returned as chair and appointed for a further three years as an ARL Commissioner at their annual general meeting on February 21.
V’landys has been one of the key drivers behind rugby league’s soaring revenues and his retention shapes as a huge coup for the code as they prepare to launch their incursion into America with a double header in Las Vegas.
It is understood that Megan Davis, one of the key figures behind the Yes campaign and an influential voice when it comes to rugby league’s indigenous community, will also be reappointed for a further three years at the AGM.
V’landys was appointed to the commission in 2019 and elevated to chair later that year. By the end of his fresh term he will be on the verge of chalking up a decade on the commission.
Along with chief executive Andrew Abdo, he has transformed the NRL into a business that is verging on revenues of $700 million a year with growing profits and a portfolio of investments designed to future-proof the code.

He’s the best leader rugby league has had since inception. From jj gilitnan to Humphries sunderland or arko

They are still complaining about the funding so they certainly didn't get B.

QRL wants the extra funding to give QCup teams $650k instead of $350k. So it isn't like the increase is trickling down.

Throw in funding of GC and Cowboys QCup teams that is half of the $10m extra they want chewed up

TV rights is your opinion

the Stadiums are getting done. NSW Govt paid the most to host a Grand Final, Every club has a Coe paid for by the government - So that surely can't be a fail

It is about power, NRL want to change the way stuff is done. QRL and NSWRL don't want that.

It was a shit plan and rightfully got canned but that was pre PVL, So these things have been bubbling in the background for years

People may not like his style but the results are there, Hard to see anyone on the ARLC not returning

 

[Maximus]

Toot toot toooooot, keep blowing his trumpet maxipad, toooot

The posts are there for all to see.

QRL = bad because centralised decision making for QLD in Brisbane
NRL = good because centralised decision making for entire country in Sydney

He is exactly the same as @Captain Apollo's description of Perth Red, as is your best mate @Wb1234. All 3 are shit posters because their opinion is only ever 'what makes my side look good'.

So you have seen the NRL's plan?

Even if you think the QRL should handle grass roots, Why can't the the NRL pay the NSW and QCup teams directly?

 

[Maximus]

So you have seen the NRL's plan?

None of us have, so why have you been posting for the last few days that their way is definitely the right way to go?

Even if you think the QRL should handle grass roots, Why can't the the NRL pay the NSW and QCup teams directly?

Because they can't even organise funding for an entire state body until 10 months after the start of the financial year. How do you think they are going to do it for thousands of teams? And given that they are already 3 months late this year, it's not even a once off.

The funding for NSWRL and QRL ended up being less than they had been promised at the start of the year as well. Imagine what is going to happen to some country rugby league club, if they have an expectation of funding, then 2 months before the end of the year that funding gets cut. Because it's so late in the year, they've already spent that money, so now they've got to scramble to find funds to cover for the lost money.

That level of incompetence is going to result in clubs dying off.

All I have said is there is too much waste and the funds don't filter down like they could.

The funding isn't as straight forward. That reads like you just look at the headlines not what is at the base of this dispute.

I have attached a part from Roy Masters article on it, He isn't a PVL fan boy and in most cases speaks the truth.

It is to pay the QCup teams more, That has nothing to do with giving grass roots clubs more.

The relevant state bodies fear a National Reserve comp so push back, This sort of BS is why I think there has to be a better way

No I'm referring to the article we are all discussing that states that the budget for last year was only finalised with 2 months of the financial year left, and we are 3 months into the current financial year and it hasn't been determined for this year yet either. That's a level of incompetence that would see people in charge getting fired in most businesses.

And if they have this much trouble with 2 bodies wanting more funding, how do you think they are going to manage thousands of clubs wanting more funding?

States are meant to have funding approved by September 30 to kick off the rugby league’s financial year on November 1. The state leagues only received final budget approval from the ARLC for 2023 with two months remaining in the financial year, at a level well below the states’ funding request.

A decision on funding for 2024 has not yet been finalised and is now more than three months overdue, despite the fact some state-based competitions have already started. Rugby league sources said the court action will allow the state leagues to work out the best to way determine future funding and allocation.

So after 336 pages of discussion and over 6500 posts it would appear Peter has done some things exceptionally well, some very well and others could have been done better. Deep!
