Independence Day for Rugby League

Posted by David on December 14, 2010 at 5:44pm
The Australian Rugby League (ARL) and News Limited agreed on terms for a constitution for the new governing body at a meeting in Sydney today.It's the culmination of months of protracted negotiations between the game's two owners, with both parties hopeful the independent commission will be up and running by the start of the 2011 NRL season.And it's seen as a major boost for the game which has long been hampered by the factional interests of various controlling bodies."Parties have agreed to the final terms of the constitution, which will now make it possible to finalise the additional documentation to complete the restructure," ARL chairman John Chalk said."The meeting today was productive, with all parties confident that they have overcome the fundamental impediments to the implementation and establishment on the new ARL commission."It will bring us into a new era of rugby league."Central to the establishment of the commission will be the election of the inaugural eight commissioners, with a recruitment firm currently canvassing potential candidates.No time frame was put on the selection of the commissioners.

"Why , I've said we are shit all along.  Literally said we haven't improved one iota under Ryles.

"And how long would you suggest it will take to make him an NRL level 6 needed for a team running second last , Einstein ?  12 months at best  ?  2 seasons maybe slightly doable if he's a diamond in the rough and Ryles sees something the rest of the…"
