Peter V'landys is the Executive Chairman of the NRL and one of Australia's most decorated sports administrators, having previously led Racing NSW through a comparable transformation. In this episode, he joins me to break down how he turned a financially fragile NRL, two months from insolvency during COVID, into a $500 million asset base backed by a record $5.3 billion broadcast deal. The conversation covers negotiation strategy, rule innovation, the PNG Chiefs expansion, the growth of the women's game, and Peter's personal approach to health and longevity.
