Happy Monday, if anyone wants a good laugh to start their week, skip to 32:50 mark and listen to this f***wit talk. It is laughable seriously. Claiming the offer of $300k was a great deal and we can put that into our junior system. But said we can put some money into the cap but at same time said they cannot break the rules in regard to cap as it is unfair. But can break the rules with contracts?

Lol.....just checking you were on your toes and not just leading that "horse eel" around.
PS there was a lot of catholic priests at that inquisition.....past loves?/ lives?
It's become clear to most rugby league proponents, that Peter V'Landys isn't the brightest crayon in the box. His handling of the Lomax affair has been incredibly poor, even clumsy and biased. I'm convinced that from this point forward he will say and do anything to try and save what little of his reputation he has left. That's not leadership material.
V'Landys is here to turn the NRL into a money making machine - commercial revenue. That's it, that is his single remit and his sole objective. From broadcast rights to international expansion, the only things he cares about are the big ticket items that can be turned into revenue.
Now view all of his actions through that lens, and they make more sense.
He will do whatever is in the best interest of the NRL making money. When he was under threat by R360, he went on the attack. When it wasn't a threat to revenue anymore he doesn't care. Always driven by the prime directive. He's actually very predictable.
Well ideally he would want Lomax playing Round 1. But it makes Magic Round huge.
The Storm being successful is great for NRL expansion. He wants the Storm to be winning big all the time. Eating into AFL territory is a double win - expansion and damaging the competition.
Lomax is an exciting player to watch, he wants him on the field.
I get why V'Landys wants this to happen, it benefits him to have Lomax playing and the Storm winning. Sucks for us, but we already line his pockets and aren't going to leave any time soon so he simply doesn't care.
But also when do they do it on their own? We cannot manipulate to make them great all the time for the sake of expansion. The idea is survival of the fittest.
Good analysis Cappy, but if we were in a corporate planning session with PVL it would be Win at all costs, not win win which is the usual "motherhood",
This !!!!!
I was saying this very thing to a mate of mine (who is a QLDER) who was having a whinge about the new origin rules. V'Landy's sole objective is revenue, if it makes money it's happening and origin will make more with the best players in it irrespective of which country they represent at national level.
