Can't find the article now.. was in the herald earlier in the year... Basically saying, it's personal between toddy and V'Landys. Reason being, toddy and his buddies were against PV being named chairman.

Don't want Greenberg to get away scot-free if he is punted, hopefully someone can do a bit of digging to see exactly whereabouts all this misplaced and unaccounted for money has drained away to from the last TV rights deal etc. IMO Greenberg is a crook and may very likely have his slimy mitts over a lot of this seemingly missing money.
Anyone who has a job at the moment is an "essential worker" until the government says other wise. We know the industries that will never be closed down but if people can safely continue with work in any industry the government will encourage it.
It's up to the NRL to devise a plan to.demonstrate that that they can run a competition safely while not maintaining "social distancing".
Should it happen there will be those who will be happy but they may face a huge back lash from those who believe it is at odds with what the community has all been forced to practice. How that translates in this current climate I'm not sure

Interesting read (free). US buyers interested in all 4 codes - NRL, AFL, Union and A-League.

From the Herald
EXECS SET TO PAY
Now Greenberg has been shamed into accepting the same pay cut as the players, the spotlight will swing to his executive team.
V’landys has made it clear that any further cuts should be at head office, rather than among the playing ranks. That spells bad news for Greenberg’s executive team.
In recent years, Greenberg has awarded generous salary increases to those in his inner circle. Chief operating officer Nick Weeks, chief commercial officer Andrew Abdo and chief financial officer Tony Crawford are all pulling in more than $500,000 a year. Most of the others in the 11-person leadership team are not far behind, earning upwards of $400,000 with bonuses. The NRL is a not-for-profit organisation.
Be sure V’landys is looking at every aspect of the operation.
The other area that needs a fresh start is the ARLC, which oversaw the excesses at head office and failed to stop them. Pearce provides a football insight, which is needed, but questions will be asked about many others, starting with Peter Beattie, who was chairman for two years – the period when spending at head office was most rampant.

NRL to adopt racing’s coronavirus blueprint to return on June 1
David Riccio - Daily Telegraph
The NRL will adopt the strictest of biosecurity measures, including checking the temperature of players every day, in order to return on June 1.
On a mission to achieve clearance from health authorities to resume the competition after suspending it due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NRL are confident they are just two weeks away from being able to declare the season is back on.
The NRL have already told every club that players will receive a minimum four-week pre-season of training, which means that all 16 clubs could be back at work on May 1 — just 26 days away. And it’s the harshest of biosecurity regulations that have kept the horse racing industry going which the NRL plan to copy for the footy code's own return to play.
ARL Commission chairman Peter V'landys is also the CEO of Racing NSW, and that gives the NRL a huge advantage in designing a comeback plan focused on making certain the health and safety of the players, coaches and staff is paramount and risk of infection minimal.
The racing industry has managed to continue as one of the world's few sports to remain active by temperature-checking everyone that enters the track, segregating jockeys, banning of interstate riders and trainers and putting restrictions on how horses arrive in the state.
So strict are the health guidelines on race day, Australia's champion trainer Chris Waller recently declared he felt visiting his local supermarket was more hazardous than working at the track.
“One thing racing has proved is that you’ve got to have the harshest possible biosecurity measures in place,” V’landys told The Sunday Telegraph. “And to that point, our leading trainer (Chris Waller) said he's safer at the racecourse than he is at the supermarket.
“A jockey also said he went to a hospital and there were 10 times more biosecurity measures at Rosehill racecourse than there was at the hospital.”
V’landys said the absolute key to the NRL gaining the confidence in health authorities to return was the continued downward trend of the COVID-19 spread.
“There is a lot less risk now to the NRL premiership resuming than there was two weeks ago because as a society we have locked down.
“When we were playing (in round one), it was 32.21 per cent ... and now the infection rate is down to 3.96 per cent in NSW.
“Hopefully in eight weeks (by June 1), the spread will be down to one per cent.”
V’landys said he is talking every day to the game’s innovation committee, led by ARLC commissioner Wayne Pearce, to assess all “available options” to return on June 1, including using Sydney Olympic Park as a precinct to house players in a “bubble-like” environment.

Thank god V'Landys is running the show. Real leadership for a change instead of a pig with his snout in the trough slurping up cash and only interested in showing his face when there are slaps on the back being dealt out.
Bravo PV, hopefully he gets this show on the road soon.
