Question on Peter V'landys

[Mr Spock!]

He is doing what I think we both agree should have been done over a decade ago. Question is why was it left up to him.

Well it WAS actually done 20 years ago.

 

[LeagueXIII]

that was a media guess, vlandys refuses to tell us how much it was for or what the new 5 year deal contains in terms of what fox have got for their money. Even worse than refusing to tell us he changed the way the nrl reports it’s annual financial statement so you can’t see what media revenue is worth to the nrl. It’s almost like he has something to hide?

re the rest, you dont put someone who runs a shady business like horse racing in charge if you are concerned about catching fleas.

If you look at how Lachlan Murdoch is steering News Corp it is into Sports betting, he already has trademarked Foxbet. I think this is where we are headed, thus the secrecy with V'landys. Also why the NRL did a seven year deal. Gives them plenty of time to get it set up.

The thing is this was always on the agenda with News Corp hence why they wanted our previous leaders gone as they were not on the same page. Covid sped it up and gave them the excuse to do the TV deal.

Question is are we happy to be benefiting from gambling?

The decision making of the league is based on what's good for News Corp.

Firehawks could be the most important team in the NRL, alongside Sydney Roosters, as they would be based right near an AwFuL club. If they can take a few thousand supporters away from the Lions then that will be a huge kick in the guts for AwFuL.

Yeah I mean look how we're threatening the Suns.

Firehawks sounds like a netball team.

You also seem to have this binary worldview that people only watch etiher NRL or AFL and not both.

Perth Red will tell people who live in Brisbane that adding another team to the city is not expansion. The problem is, someone 4000km away doesn’t understand the fabric of Brisbane or RL in Brisbane.
There is room for two of the Dolphins, Jets and Firehawks

and before he gets all excited and posts some rubbish, I support a Perth team, but not before Brisbane 2

How are our Sydney teams going against the Swans?

im all for Brisbane2 it’s years overdue, but it’s not expansion. Will it lead to new audiences, new fans and new jnrs? Probably not many as brisbane is already a rl mad city.

Having a game in the city each week will be good for the tourist dollar. If you're a tourist in Brisbane and you're here when the Lions are at home but Broncos aren't then it will give you the impression it's an AwFuL city.

it is expansion. It will make Brisbane a stronger NRL city and will hopefully force Storm to do more work in Melbourne.

 

[Perth Red]

Now he's calling players, coaches and fans who dont agree with him lol. The arrogance of this guy knows no bounds! Maybe he's just crankier than usual after losing his court case?

The abuse his way is unwarranted though, we might disagree with him and his methods but he is trying to make RL better I suppose, in his own way.

Something that you don't get in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth with the NRL.

One the plus side he has hair and is attempting to actually do something besides eyeball people.

On the flip side im sure it should be a box to tick pretty early on in the job application process to be able to actually pronounce the name of the sport you are the CEO of properly

V Landys has something. He vibrates higher than most people do. He is not smart. Not gifted. Just a vibrator, with a very strong aura.

The only logical explanation I found was this. We all have auras. Some are good, some are bad. I believe we who are ostracized carry good auras. When we are in the presence of bad auras the two fight it out. Neither person is aware of the battle. It sounds crazy I know. But I even read one article where a woman who had been ostracized by her family for years asked her sister why. The sister said she honestly didn’t know why. Almost like a trance. After that meeting the sister no longer treated her mean and this is the same with Peter V Landys.

I feel for you all. The pain is indescribable. Yet I am sure it has purpose. It is my understanding that we come to earth to learn lessons that teach us compassion. V Landy's is learning compassion and he is struggling because of his aura. The more suffering the more we learn. So in a way we can look at this as a blessing so our souls can elevate our vibrations and we can ascend into peace and love.. This is where Peter V Landys is at the moment. And we all have to watch as he goes through his growth and we all can see his aura. Its like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. So Peter V Landys, here is my advice; don’t let them make you vicious. Stay good to yourself and be compassionate to each other if not those who hurt us. don’t let them ruin your life.

Good luck Peter, lets watch your aura grow.

Is this the same guy who goes on about "welcoming debate"?

You say the abuse is unwarranted but when you make drastic decisions without consultation as he did then what do you expect?

I doubt he made any decision on his own. So there is consultation just not as much as some like.

Take the new rules. Bennett, Robinson, Keary and Cook were on the committee that came up with them

 

[Perth Red]

This made me laugh in another Vlandys puff piece. In his first annual report as chair he hid the tv revenue, he hid participation rates by state and hid club membership numbers. Yeh very transparent lol!


“NRL administration has previously sugarcoated participation figures by including touch football and LeagueTag numbers alongside registered tackle players. Under the Peter V’landys and Andrew Abdo regime, the NRL has promised total transparency.”

Vladys has been quoted that he is a fighter and will go down fighting till the end

This energy needs to be redirected towards SA WA North Shore-CC Sydney SouthWest

Is the NRL reporting match attendances?

I never see any on the NRL.com match reports.

Interesting.... joins the dots on a few things for me...

The Fox league crew... many of whom used to blow up at the slightest of issues in the game under previous regimes (particularly Greenberg) are curiously subdued and quite supportive of this sin bin directive..

Paul Kent. The human foghorn... particularly has been waving Vlandys’ flag, in his corner..

He’s one of a few who’s compared Vlandys to comans (which led to my big old post in another thread), a revolutionary...

It stinks and your insight there would make sense as to why..

f**k get the ABC on to it they like rocking a few feathers especially when it comes to the Murdoch press.

Wasn't the NRL trying to create an equivalent of NFL media.

I may have it wrong but hasn't that stopped in the past year?

Easily explains why News Corp is a cheer leader.
