Apparently we all have 6 doppelgängers. I was hoping in this video we would meet one of Danika's, but evidently not.
Saying that, Sophie with the Irish accent is my pick of the bunch.

Geez he has chip on his shoulder about Victoria. Can’t talk about NRL or NSW racing without comparing to AFL or the Melbourne Cup. At least he is not silly enough to claim that the Everest is number one.Peter V'landys With Massive Expansion Update & Chats The Everest!

Why 10 year? Why not just forever, what's 10 years, they'll be back here again edging for some other BS, the licences should be eternal, it's in their best interests to do so... otherwise another lol@souffs being punted situation could happen, the more that expansion succeeds, the more chance of streamlining Sydney or just teams that are generally giving the NRL zero benefit (i.e. titans)Clubs about to sign 10 year license agreement according to normal journos. Good stuff
Can someone teach Brent Read how to write. That was harder to read then listening to him talk.Weekend Read: Why the NRL is now perfectly positioned to take on the AFL
After striking a landmark agreement with all 17 clubs, the NRL is set to usher in a decade of peace, perfectly positioning rugby league to take on its biggest rival, writes BRENT READ.
Rugby league is headed for a decade of peace. The NRL and its clubs will spend the next 10 years sitting around the campfire, roasting marshmallows and singing kumbaya.
Pull the other one I hear you say, it plays jingle bells.
Yes, the clubs and the NRL have struck a landmark agreement over license agreements which will form the bedrock of a new relationship for the next decade.
But 10 years of peace may be stretching it. The good news is clubs are about to be consulted like never before, resolving one of the major issues between them and Rugby League Central.
An advisory group of three chairs has been formed - the initial trio will be South Sydney’s Nick Pappas, North Queensland’s Lewis Ramsey and Manly’s Scott Penn - to communicate with the NRL on everything from naming rights to expansion to broadcast negotiations.
The clubs will finally get to peer behind the curtain.

They won’t have the right to veto agreements, but they will be taken on the journey and it shapes as a significant step forward in the relationship between the clubs and head office.
The last broadcast negotiations were conducted behind a veil of secrecy amid concerns that sensitive information could be leaked and scupper any agreement.
The clubs still don’t know exactly how much the broadcasters pay the NRL.
That’s about to change as the ARL Commission prepares to intensify its negotiations with broadcasters in an uncertain landscape.
The clubs won’t have a decisive say over where the deal lands, but they will be kept abreast of talks and have the right to convey their thoughts to the ultimate decision-makers.
Importantly, all 17 clubs have been guaranteed their place in the competition for the next decade provided they don’t go broke. Given they now receive more than $17 million in grant money from the NRL, there are no excuses.
The relationship between the NRL and its clubs has been fractious at times in recent years. There have been threats of breakaway competitions and the removal of commissioners.
Those days are over. Rugby league has had a habit of getting in its own way. Tripping over its own feet. Infighting has held the sport back but not any more. There will be the occasional spotfire but the days of the blazing rows have come to an end.
Rugby league has just about devoured rugby union. Next on the menu is the AFL and with peace now in our lifetime, the code is perfectly positioned to take on its biggest rival.
Things are about to get interesting.

Since pvl came to power nrl has been the leader
In many ways we are already number one
Expansion to png Perth and Christchurch will solidify that
With those extra teams the nrl should be getting close to double the viewers the afl gets and tv deals from 3 nations
I was playing golf with a former rugby administrator, and he said that the best thing NRL did was get V'Landys. Went as far to say that if Rugby Australia has him, it would be seriously challenging RL for preferred winter code in Qld and NSW but obviously is dying.Since pvl came to power nrl has been the leader

You mean since News Corp got what they wanted we have been the leader and they aren't death riding the sport anymore. Vlandys and Abdo are just their puppets.
Rugby would never be the preferred winter code no matter who is in charge. It doesn't have a meaningful domestic comp, simple as that.I was playing golf with a former rugby administrator, and he said that the best thing NRL did was get V'Landys.

Interesting observation. Also went on to say that his high school kids (all historically RU nurseries) have a keen interest in NRL and not much interest in rugby these days.

Facts are union would never have someone of V`Landys type run their game anyway, note the sneering attitude of the establishment`s Racing Victoria towards him and the "horrible little man" gibe from Vic Racings CEO (towards which V`Landys replied "Hey, I`m not that small, I`m average, joke he may, but trust me he won`t forget things like that).Rugby would never be the preferred winter code no matter who is in charge.
