NRL structural and rule change proposals

Overview

NRL Commission chairman Peter V’landys has introduced several proposals aimed at evolving the competition. Initially, he proposed a rule change allowing one attacking kick or forward pass to an off-side receiver per six-tackle set to increase the sport's global appeal, specifically targeting expansion into the United States and Europe.

Subsequently, V’landys proposed adding a third-place play-off fixture to the NRL season to fill the gap following the grand final. To encourage participation, he suggested offering significant prize money. This second proposal has faced opposition from the Rugby League Players Association due to concerns regarding player welfare and the heavy scheduling surrounding the upcoming Rugby League World Cup.
