So answer me this peeps...… what has the NRL done with all there money????..... if they are crying poor, as in we are going to go broke if no crowds attend, where the hell is all the profit...……………………… the AFL has a massive reserve and could survive longer, if needed, but going on what the NRL are saying..... they are in Dire Straights???
Great question Kiwi. there is a very long boring answer but short version is this...until 2018 they ran at a loss! They run a surplus in 2018 of $46mil and that was the result of several new TV etc deals. That number comes off the back of $500mil turnover so nearly 90% of turnover went on multi million dollar grants to the clubs, developing the women's league ( make your own opinion as to if that was politically motivated) and the good old admin fees of over $6mil and rising.

It is rather embarrassing that they want the government to step in and assist yet they are so highly rewarded for playing the game or administrating the game. No thought for many people working casually who now have zero shifts
I’m pissed that the NRL is run so badly they put their hand out like that. Taxpayer money is needed to help the elderly etc. Maybe NRL could show some good faith and get rid of 1/2 the administrators, media and diversity ‘experts’.
Not my problem PB - don’t watch any other sports bar bike racing and UFC!
Whats winter...?
Bwahahahahaha……...Pay that
I have read about the temp getting lower than 25 degrees somewhere in Australia but find it difficult to believe
Was 4 here the other day ... but I got plenty of firewood - from Qld in fact! Best wood is from out St George way; burns hot for longer.
