Greedy NRL Clubs want more money & power

[mozgrame]

NRL clubs have made a move to oust Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman John Grant after Grant, along with NRL CEO Todd Greenberg, promised clubs a funding bonus, and then backpedaled on that promise due to other areas of the game needed the money more.

The clubs not only want Grant removed, they also want more power to vote on who is on the ARL board. They want more money and more power…

The whole idea of the independent commission was that no one area of the game had more power than it should have. Rugby League in Australia is a very big sport with a lot of interested parties. All of them want more than they are getting. From your local club to referee associations, NRL clubs, state bodies, everyone believes they deserve more money.

The funny thing is that every level of the game is better funded than it has ever been.

Nice reply from Greenburg. Strange he didn't put his name to the article.

So, the clubs are no good money-suckers. The administrators are hopeless....
Sounds to me like we need the AFL to run rugby league!

Manly would be happier with more premierships and money. The nrl can keep the power part of it.

I guess the article provides some kind of balance. I read somewhere this morning that these votes require 14 of the game’s 26 shareholders to be successful. Considering there are 16 clubs and they are all shareholders I find that cause for concern. At any stage the clubs can spit the dummy and toss everyone out. Hardly an independent commission when they are at the mercy of the clubs in this way.

The schmozzle continues. 2016, 1995 all over again. Or is it 1983? Or 1948?

1919, Germany? 1917, Russia? 1848, Europe? 1789, France? 1775-76, the American colonies?

Not really, I thought the idea of the commission was so TV could control the game without having to run their own separate competition?

If at least 14 of the 16 clubs are unhappy with the administration I would think that's fair grounds to overthrow them...

Honestly though, John Grant is another Greenturd, purely in the position for his own ego. nothing more. Can anyone honestly say the game has improved under the watch of Grant or Greenturd?
