MILE-HIGH MISERY FOR KIWIS AND POMS
Telegraph/Rothfield
THE future of rugby league’s annual Denver Test match is in serious doubt because the promoter still hasn’t paid the cash-strapped New Zealand or England rugby leagues.
Players from both countries received their match payments last week but the governing bodies have not been paid about $250,000 that was promised.
Kiwis CEO Greg Peters told me on Friday his organisation was trying to work on a repayment plan with the promoter to get the money gradually.
The issue was discussed at the International Rugby League Federation meeting in Singapore last weekend. It was agreed that, although there is a three-year agreement to play a mid-year Test in Denver, the schedule would be looked at.
Next year’s Kiwi-England Test is more likely to be played at a different time of the year — in New Zealand or England.
....
LOL only the dickheads in charge of international rugby league could make such a major balls up.
Get paid in advance THEN put on the game.
For those wondering, John Grant (ex NRL/ARL fuck up) is the chairman of the IRLF, and Greenberg is on the board. So a fuckup was bound to happen.
