V'landys confident on NRL TV bump up
New ARL Commission chairman Peter V'landys insists the game will bump up its television revenue in the next rights deal despite the changing media landscape.
"I am very confident, looking at all of the documents I've seen in the last few days, of achieving a better result than what we've got now.

Re: Rugby League 2019
The rules don't need "tinkering" at all, if anything they need to STOP **** tinkering with the interpretations every six weeks and just let the referees ref!!
This whole "we're cracking down on forward passes now" crap they persist with going on with or "we're now policing the ruck this way" garbage needs to stop.
The game flowed best when the referees were allowed to just referee the game, blow penalties whenever they saw fit, and didn't "manage" penalty counts IMO. We need to return to that.

Ok well that’s concerning then, unless he’s referring to rule changes around wrestling.greeneyed wrote: ↑November 1, 2019, 7:56 amThat sounds great, not sure it requires massive tinkering with the rules, which is where he’s looking to innovate.yeh raiders wrote: ↑October 31, 2019, 10:08 pm Not one bit of surprise here, he is a weapon.
I strongly hope he stays with racing NSW as well - 2 of my biggest passions are Racing and Rugby League and he has proven himself time and time again.
You’re right GE, he is an innovator.
Which is why I think his understanding of Rugby League as a game is absolutely crucial.
In racing he has improved programming, carnivals, prizemoney, betting deals, welfare etc .. all leading to stronger participation and a better product overall.
“Crackdowns” as mentioned above, in NRL terms, basically equate to going from one extreme to another and always end badly. Why that is the case, I don’t know. The reason for that is what needs addressing.
Re: Rugby League 2019
We don’t need new rules. The existing Rules just need to be simplified and have less impact on the game.
Minor attacking team indiscretions should be a ‘handover’ not a penalty. That may encourage refs to consistently rule on not touching the ball with your foot or walking off the mark.
Refs need to focus on defensive teams teams breaking the rules when under pressure from the attacking team.

Secret rule changes NRL doesn’t want you to know about: https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport ... e55cc72d9a
Five minute sin bin: tbd by Commission.
One or two referees: recommended stay with two.
Golden point: Losers to get one competition point?
Interchange: unclear.
No mention of how to handle #SixAgain and #Trainergate situations.
Apparently half the coaches didn’t turn up, including Stuart.
