BREAKING: Despite backlash surrounding a proposed return date, the NRL have confirmed they're going ahead with a locked in return.
ARL Commissioner Wayne Pearce confirmed teams would have a three-week pre-season before the competition resumed, ahead of a meeting with clubs on Wednesday.
Todd Greenberg has spoken publicly for the first time since he stepped down as NRL CEO on Monday, claiming he has never been happier. “Certainly when I reflect on it, the advent of the women’s game and the growth we’ve had with the NRLW, I hope to see that prosper in the years to come. Foxtel and Channel 9 currently pour $325 million per year into rugby league, but are negotiating a sum lower than that for the three-year extension.
