Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

One wonders what kind of impact or lobbying if any the nrl/V'landys has had in the brisbane stadium situation.

Usually the media is all over anything V'landys is pushing.

If they’ve done much they’ve been quiet about it, which if it’s worked fair play. Also it may just be a case of the Government not falling for the propaganda of a $3.4b 55k stadium.

Canberra and to a lesser extent Auckland and Newcastle now just need to remind V’Landys their stadiums are also technically in suburbs.

Yeh agreed, they have just taken the common sense option.

I think in this situation publicly advocating would have been a negative.

This is the one time we could have used his bravado and say any old bullshit routine.

Unfortunately he has been quiet as a mouse.

There is nothing of substance in that article.

It is a media release from the NRL to their News Corp partners to make the NRL's forthcoming humiliating backdown from court proceedings seem like some sort of victory.

The NRL has to abandon it's attempts at vertical integration. The QRL is running a successful development program for junior and senior football players from the Tweed to PNG. It keeps the history alive but recognises the need to move into the future with confidence.

Why would they want to tamper with that, and allow selfish and incompetent NRL clubs to mess it up?

The fact that the QRL and NSWRL were on a unity ticket on this tells you everything you need to know. How often has that happened in 115 years of Rugby League history in this country?

Its not surprising, under Vlandys spending on grassroots is at an all time low in terms of % of NRL revenue.

NRL partner with NSW Government to help regional teenagers

The NRL has helped launch the NSW Government's Project Pathfinder today in Moree as it continues to work to provide diversionary pathways for ‘at risk’ young people across NSW.

Interesting to see a 10% increase in juniors across Melbourne, Cronulla, St George and 5% in Penrith this year. Despite the endless whinge from Perth the admin must be doing something right

f**k you are slow, The clubs have taken over the majority of this. So NRL spend is down but not total spend

The NRL grant is a lot higher than previous years including different amounts for different clubs( per the financial results) maybe they have to spend a certain amount on grassroots out of the grant, that would explain cowboys getting more than roosters due to geographic size of the catchment.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Any chance of the NSWRL and QRL working with V'landys to create a professional "Super League" style second division?

More content for broadcasters. More options for players. Plenty of regions without an NRL club that will benefit. A great place for NRL bidders to press their case for a licence.

If V'landys put his mind to it then he could get this over the line. It would be a good way for the ARLC to mend bridges with the QRL and NSWRL.

A little misleading as well when you consider the amount by which revenue has increased, can`t be arsed looking it up, but I dare say 16 % of 2019 revenue is probably less than 11 % 0f 2023.

He’s not interested in accuracy. He just despises Vlandys

The same Vlandys administration that has just posted a record revenue of $700m? In dollar terms, not % of revenue I'm sure it's much higher than in the past and that's all that really matters

Some people have a negative agenda against the NRL and others look for the positives. It wouldn’t surprise me if PR is paid contra by the afl

I'll never understand Perth Red's cognitive dissonance on so many topics.

He's whinged for years about clubs not generating enough revenue from football operations.

The Broncos and Dolphins draw more revenue from sponsorship than any other rugby league club in the world, yet Perth Red ridicules them both for not being as big as the West Coast Eagles.

Brisbane Tigers are projected to be almost as strong as the Broncos and Dolphins when they get an NRL licence, yet Perth Red hates their bid with a passion and is on record saying he would rather see PNG get a licence, despite his hatred for them.

How can I take him seriously?

When he's confronted about his cognitive dissonance his excuse is he wants to see the game grow, yet he supported the RFL throwing the Wolfpack under the bus and defends Hull having two teams in a city that has just 260k while Toulouse, Newcastle, Sheffield, Birmingham, Dublin and Edinburgh have none.

He ridicules the Broncos for not having as many members and active fans as the West Coast Eagles, yet he gets all defensive when people point out that the Melbourne Storm's membership and attendance levels are well below the Brisbane Lions and Sydney Swans. If you point out that the Broncos are watched by twice as many viewers than the Eagles on television he changes the subject.

A few weeks ago he was angry about Lang Park getting an upgrade ahead of the Gabba and ranted about how much better Perth Stadium is than either ground.

He's not consistent and is only here to heap shit on Brisbane and Sydney because he's green with envy.
