The Las Vegas Thread

[Canard]

That gets funded by who?

Your mum

 

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

Your mum

thought so. zero thought process.

LU, where you have to be V'landys throatgoat at all times

No, its where everything can be discussed and is not black and white.

Here comes the tag team. Maximus, scrub up, you're in next.


These articles that AFL Red has posted show no correlation between the Las Vegas venture and funding of the Western Clydesdales apart from a redneck politician's dubious putting 2 and 2 together and comining up with potato.

Haha Potato, its back with a vengeance

 

[Vee]

Just because the Western Clydesdales, and note the gentrified name that people usually cry over, aren't being funded doesn't mean that the ARLC isn't contributing money to that region.

And next time PVL should decline the offer of a white house dinner and the ability to network with powerful and influential people just so a team the ARLC doesn't believe should be in the Qcup gets some money?

Seems reasonable.

To a NSWanker.

 

[Vee]

I'm a little confused, and could be very ignorant of the situation.

Sounds like it.

 

[Vee]

Its not Toowoomba its Western.

Don't you Karens usually get your knickers in a knot about things like that?

Oh dear. You're embarrassing yourself.

 

[Vee]

Rumoured Broncos were interested in re linking up. Didnt Webke come through there?

Yes, he did.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Sounds like it.

Can you enlighten on what it all means?
Or will you be guessing just like everyone else?

Forgot this tag teamer too. Which isn't hard because he's the runt of the litter.

Ahh, now it’s looking likely that PVL has found an income source for Vegas, I see they’ve found another place to move the goalposts of why Vegas is bad….

If QRL have decided to expand their competition, and use NRL funding split equally amongst the participating teams, then when they came to making the decision to expand, surely they needed to have an agreed funding model in place, before agreeing to expand.

They needed to either secure the additional $350k funding per annum from the NRL beforehand, or agree with the other participating clubs to reduce their overall share of funding to pay for the new entry. For any NRL additional funding, it would be standard business governance that a business case would need to be submitted to show the return on investment (that wouldn’t necessarily need to be financial).

Sounds to me like the QRL have just acted and expected the NRL to pay up.

 

[Iamback]

Multiple people have said that the QRL should just fund it and take money from somewhere else in their budget. Guess where that money is going to come from? Grassroots programs.

Then they shouldn't of expanded the comp beyond their means.

Although that is ignoring the fact that QRL gets a different pool of money for non QCup competitions.

I don’t think anyone has said it should come from grassroots budget besides the QRL who admitted them without proper budget due diligence. The QRL do fund the rest of the teams though, should that money go to grassroots too?

 

[taste2taste]

- Invest money in the grassroots
- Make our sport truly national
- More school development officers
- Actually advertise our game in Australia, not just in LV
- Stadia upgrades
- Long term investments

But, and its a big BUT, iif the games in Vegas are profitable and get the NRL more revenue streams wouldn't this give the game more money to do those things ?

IMO it's worth a go, I can't imagine the commission has signed off on these Vegas games it the numbers don't line up.

Using the $600m revenue model.
$125m goes to clubs, QRL and NSWRL for 2nd tier pathways.

25% when you add the rest. That is a decent amount spent. Keep that % as the revenue grows and it seems fair enough

 

[Captain Apollo]

I think it's time for the NRL to be completely divorced from ARLC.

With a separate board, chairman etc.

The NRL should focus purely on the top level only, and the rest looked after by an independent body.

You seem to forget they already did that when the NRL was formed in 1998. You had the NRL and the ARL as separate entities. Thing is which of those bodies earns the bulk of the money? It was not the ARL. Fact is that in many sports where they do that, the "head" body often winds up being powerless as they lack funds to spend as it is the professional leagues which earn the money.

Nup, just an observation.

Oh dear, now you've hurt my feelings. Or might have, if I gave a shit what you thought.
