“ক্র্যাশিং কাউন্টির” বিপদে সুপার লিগ – এনআরএল প্রধান ভি’ল্যান্ডিস
V’landys has said that there was no specific offer for the NRL to buy into the Super League, but added that a lot would depend on the creation of an independent governing body. When asked about the NRL Super League, he said: “We can. It is an option if we want to do it. We need an independent body to run the competition and that is one of the reasons why it has been so successful in Australian rugby league. It is completely resolved. To listen faithfully, and if that is possible, we will help. But we are not here to listen to anyone or expect that we have someone here to be able to help.”
V’landys saw Australia beat England 26-6 at Wembley on Saturday, in front of 60,812 fans, which is a record crowd for a rugby league Ashes Test in the UK. He argued that the logic was in the interest of laughter in England – but he feels that the sports authorities did not help with the advice that the city should be the size of London. The Broncos, who are in the blockade from Australia with Kangaroo legend Darren Lockyer among their supporters, have been dropped from the new expanded Super League next season. Instead, Bradford Bulls were promoted at the expense of Salford Devils earlier this month under the tiered competition system, and the panel selected Toulouse and York for them. Former South Sydney Rabbitohs boss Jason Demetriou has become their head coach on a three-year deal and has signed former Australian international Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Tongan Hama Sili Havili for the upcoming season.
V’landys said: “London should have been the first choice, because if you are going to market something, you will get a populous income.” Sponsors are interested in London. And I missed that opportunity in this round. Yes, of course, I remember that there might be better games in the market than at that time … they did not immediately accept the structure to be able to move the product forward.”
Regarding the expansion of the Super League to 14 teams, V’landys said, “Will they run out of income streams? Are they out of place? Are they taking on extra participation? That was not explained.” There was no plan. I have a road map and a plan to move forward in the next 10 years. Because 10 years come very quickly and if you do not have that plan, you go in vain in all directions.”
Some positive aspects certainly existed. Their services have improved, their ratings have improved, but you also have a very strong financial foundation and at a time that is not there.
