Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

[Murishido]

last years spend on grassroots was still $12mill less than in 2019, adjusted for inflation thats about the price of one hotel a year.
Good the NRL is building assets and alternate revenue streams, long overdue, but hopefully we will see grassroots funding next year (at least in two states) with the doubling of the NSW and QRL grants at an all time high. Vlad and Abdo are money men so at least they have been able to deliver much healthier looking books.

And Vlad gets paid via another entity (racing) who engages the same customers (bookies).

There's no scope there to do a deal for league that results in racing getting more revenue and then more money for him as ceo at all...

The conflict of interest is so overwhelming but hey we don't care...

So racing covers his high wages and we get the benefit of all his experience for Buckleys

Wow thanks racing nsw for allowing your ceo to run our game

Sure....

That's the rational takeaway.

Seriously not a fan of PNG as the 18th team Pete.

Perth will 18th. PNG 19th.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Nswrl and qrl funding is included in my figures.
The dolphins $2mill is a furphy, that is in fact what they are spending on running reserve grade and elite jnr sides, it isnt going to grassroots.

Source?

Also PNG grassroots funding is about to kick-in. Grassroots funding has never been so high.

Perth will 18th. PNG 19th.

It appears to be the other way round.

It appears to be the other way round.

Perth 2027, PNG 2028 but PNG we be announced first (today). That's the talk anyway.

Nope it's actually true, png need more time to set up infrastructure to go with their team, they've been promised a certain timeline, and when Perth gets its shìt together, and agrees to the outlandish demands set upon them, they'll be parachuted in as 18th for the new broadcast deal

If you say so.

It's been a laborious process for fans. LU is suffering.

Weak fans need to get stronger.

Also, its not just the above posters saying this. It's literally in every article regarding this announcement.

Don't worry. Once expansion is completed people here can go back to calling male players lesbians and other high-minded stuff like that.

Now that's progress of a kind.

The decision to bring in a team from PNG is the dumbest decision in the history of the sport.

Yet another location that's more desirable for players than Canberra.

Big financial news at last.

 

[RL The greatest game]

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.

Away from the posters on bigfooty what is the general opinion of Peter V'landy's in AFL circles as regards his business acumen?

I just want to know when Humphrey B. Bear is going to run out in a Perff Bares jersey. I'm not asking for much.
