In amongst some Origin nonsense. Paul Kent pulls out a pearler.
Really audacious to ask for the money that was promised when you awarded the hosting rights to the RLIF’s one revenue stream.

The day after Origin the Australian Rugby League Commission met in Brisbane and rolled their sleeves to take on the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) later this month in Singapore.
The RLIF has had the audacity to ask the NRL for $4 million to cover their losses this past year. Right before they plan to reduce Australia’s voting rights and influence on the international board.
NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg heads to the meeting with the intention of ousting the ARLC’s other delegate on the board, former Commissioner John Grant, who is trying to circumvent the loss in confidence of his own nation by implementing a change in constitution so he can remain as an independent.
Yep. Astounding.
The bullish stance has put international football back on the agenda. The RLIF might not like what it hears in Singapore.
It will continue to stalemate until the silent voice so far in all of this, the players association, wade in and tells both the NRL and RLIF what it wants.
But there is much to fix.
The threatening brawl between the NRL an RLIF, the mid-season Test played in Denver between New Zealand and England last month, this year’s softening interest in Origin, and the increasing power of the Pacific nations means the NRL must rethink its position on representative football.
