Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

[Vlad59]

Sooks are out in force today

Why is everyone pulling their dicks here?

It's a stupid statement to make. That is beyond doubt.

And when they don't make the 8 in year one, what then?

The world will end. Seriously. Can we stop the amateur dramatics?

You are right about PNG. They are going to massively struggle. Perth is going to have a tougher time than the Dolphins and PNG is another 5 rungs below that.

What's with all the concern about PVL grandstanding though? Who cares? If PNG is anything but a steaming pile of shit in its first 5 years then that is an absolutely massive achievement. The bar is set very low here and it doesn't change because PVL is talking it up.

Talking of PNG is Wayne Bennett about to put his hat into the ring to become their coach.

Quite the leap to take a flippant PVL throw away line which implies an "assurance" as some sort of guarantee. I wonder if he winked when he said it.

The only fools here are those that try to read into the quoted statement in a literal sense.

Exactly, of course it’s been said in jest.

You guys are in a cult. Must defend dear leader no matter what.

Mr Happy Head strikes again!

You guys are in a cult. Must defend dear leader no matter what.

You remind me of the Simpsons character Frank Grimes.

Can anyone remind me how the NRL in Vegas is going? Last I heard on here, it would never happen and was all pie in the sky….. by the same people who are now jumping all over PVL ‘guaranteeing’ top 8 for PNG.

It’s a throw away line, not a literal guarantee, only those with a vendetta would take such umbrage to what he’s said. He’s hardly going to say ‘yeah, it’s gonna be a nightmare getting players to come here, I mean, who the f*#k would seriously come and live in this shithole, regardless of how much cash we throw at em. The team is gonna be god awful, but hey, the politicians love us now, and they’ve paid us a fortune, so who cares’

Yeah i am happy for the nrl to do things to make sure the expansion teams are strong top 8 type teams from the start. We need them doing well. Otherwise they end up like the titans rather than the storm.
