    I see JH's first game in charge ends with 24-6 defeat at Canberra. Hard season for him in store.

    To be fair, Canberra are a well oiled machine and last years runners up. I’m not sure many people expected Gold Coast to beat them today.

    Good try that from Brisbane. I can't see Mr Happy being overly pleased with Souths defence.

    God to see Herbie Farnworth doing well. I wonder if Brian Foley fancies bringing him back to Wigan?

    I think Manly will have a real go this season. Their backline is the best in the league

    Looks like a 15 game season with everyone playing each other once (minus the 2 already played). But I still expect games behind closed doors for a long while, which is why Channel Nine have kicked off because they see less value in their TV deal if this happens.

    Also, no word on whether the Queensland clubs will have to play in Sydney in order to maintain an ‘isolation bubble’ of players. The AFL have made no announcement about their restart date so I’m thinking the NRL have jumped the gun slightly. It’s only 7 weeks away and whilst Australia is in better shape than us partly due to its relative isolation, it’s still not out of the woods at all. I’ve spoken to cousins in Melbourne and Canberra and their attitude to all of this is not that different to ours.

    New Hubs for the teams to isolate, NW Warriors keen to get over to Oz but not certain of the restrictions?

    I doubted Holbrook would do much with the Gold Coast. Hats off to him!

    Not sure if this is sarcasm or not but he’s done a great job there. Finished 16th (bottom) last year with 4 wins from 24 games. 15 points off the playoffs.
    This season they’re on 8 wins from 19 and just 4 points off the playoffs. Massive improvement.

    With some big signings coming in for 2021 they’ll fancy their chances of being in the 8 next year.

    Default Financial stake in the NRL on the table

    I will just start with the headline and first paragraphs in today's The Sun Herald, (Sydney) better computer skills than mine can put a link up.

    The NRL has received private equity and loan proposals from American investors that will be on the agenda for one of the most important meetings in the ARL commission's history on Tuesday, "Park Lane" a company that specialises in assisting high net worth individuals become owners of sporting franchises, it has brokered a series of proposals that have been put to officials at Rugby League Central.
    Park Lane Founder Andrew Kline-who has facilitated deals to sell teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, has previously said he has clients prepared to buy entire Australian sporting leagues.
    The ARLC will consider several offers, including a $250 million line of credit brokered by Oakwell Sports Advisory, the London firm previously brokered sporting investment deals, including for CVC Capital to buy into European Rugby.

    ARLC chairman Peter V'Landys said he is open to the prospect of selling an equity share in the NRL declaring it would be negligent not to consider all options but would never relinquish a controlling interest. Andrew Kline is passionate about Australian Sport, he quoted America is a much bigger market that is not diluted by four sporting codes

    It's a long interesting article. can someone link it please.

    There you go, but merging this and other stuff into the NRL thread to keep it neat and tidy.

    All NRL chat in here please so it’s easy to keep it all in one place.
