Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

Yeah there would be tweeks to the actual pools but that keeps TV and clubs happy

No tweaks, this is based on geographical placement towards Compass points, so South division is headlined by the Storm, all teams closest to Melbourne are in this pool, North division is headlined by PNG Hunters all teams closest to PNG are in that pool
East are headlined by Warriors, all teams closest to NZ are there, which leaves West which is headlined by Western Bears, all remaining teams closest to Perth (ala Western syd)
Later on adding Adelaide, Fiji, Qld5, Etc would change those dynamics, but essentially its unemotional, impartial and based on geographical distance, no one should be tinkering with it to keep some random derby, it's why I brought up Heritage/Magic round as a potential TV/Broadcaster picks, as they can schedule whichever "derby" that they feel is missing out

Book of feuds says Souffs and Roosters need 2 games a season

Fu€k rusty, and fu@k that made up book, the only feud that matters is panthers V eels, "the golden derby" hawhawhaw...

...it's important to be impartial, otherwise the same shit will go on as it does now, regarding timeslots and favouritism towards certain clubs or strength of schedule, it's also important to split Sydney based sides apart from each other to ensure an even amount of travel, (as much as it can be, as non Sydney sides basically travel fortnightly anyways, but you cannot gift Sydney sides a leg up by zero travel)
