Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

[Wb1234]

I dont understand why more clubs dont commit to regular double headers. It makes the games feel like major events so the fans really make their way out.

ideally we would see regular Sydney doubleheaders as Accor, trying to push about 40k.

If the NRL could agree to put that in the Sunday 2pm-4pm slots, we would have a killer event

They are doing stuff next year at Allianz agora round or something

just read v'landys/arlc have purchased two more hotels. south brisbane mantra in qld and one in sydney somewhere growing the assets by $110m

 

[The_Wookie]

The financially-flying NRL has built its asset base to nearly $110m after buying hotels in Port Macquarie and Brisbane this week.

It is part of the NRL’s bold move to establish an asset base worth $300m.

The ARL Commission acquired the Ibis Styles Hotel in Port Macquarie for $15.5m and a Mantra Hotel in Brisbane for around $22m.

The NRL has already purchased:

- Mercure Kawana Waters on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast for $20m.

- Quest Hotel in Sydney’s Woolooware for $20m. The NRL owns the Quest at Woolooware but doesn’t operate the hotel, leasing it back to Quest.

- Gambaro Hotel – rebranded the Beetson Hotel – in Brisbane for around $30m.

ll revenue streams within rugby league have increased. This from a game which ran at a loss of nearly $20m just nine years ago.

300 million target is just for the current collective bargaining agreement

They’ve said long term they want 1 billion in assets

PVL is just embarrassing his predecessors now.

 

[Iamback]

It has been said before but:

- pause NRL matches
- play origin on Wednesday’s we consecutive weeks
- play as many rep games as possible across the 2/3 weekends that are disrupted

You need atleast 2 weeks apart.

To cover against HIA's

10 days then. Get the shitshow over with

It is still the cash cow and you want to do all you can to have the best available. So spacing it for the stand period still the 1st thing they take care off

It helps though that the ASRLC don't have News Ltd leaching money out of the NRL's revenue coffers directly, let alone getting what many considered unders for the TV deal with Foxtel.

News Ltd left a long time ago and the muppets before pvl talked about expansion and did nothing

Beattie could easily have added a second Brisbane side given he was the ex premier of qld but he fluffed it and left it to pvl

And when Greenberg was running things they had to get an advance on the tv money to cover bills

Poor Reece Walsh, that’s 2 years in a row the NRL have used vision of him getting smashed in their promos.

Good to see the Gronk involved

 

[taste2taste]

Have the NRL announced profits for last year ??

I thought it was due a few weeks ago, maybe I missed it ?

They may have left the ownership stakes 14 years ago, but they still had helped appoint many of the executives at the NRL and had the TV rights too.

Which execs did they appoint after they left ?

Grant Moffatt Greenberg Beattie ?

And News Ltd were actually big proponents of Pvl coming in they helped get rid of grant and Greenberg

And Dazn is about to take out Foxsports so just leaves broncos and daily telegraph “league” journos

You misunderstood what I said. Whilst they exited the ownership in 2012, many of the Execs at the time they'd had a hand in the appointment of. That's all. There "influence" would not have gone until those people moved on.

 

[Matt_CBY]

Wonder how much they make off that ?

Are PlayStation still releasing new games on both PS5 and PS4?

Pretty clear from the last tv deal News ltd still pulls the strings at NRLHQ.
DAZN hopefully buying out Foxsports could be the best thing ever in finally cutting the binds to that scab of an organisation. I feel dirty every time my Kayo sub goes out!
