    A meeting of NRL club chairmen in Sydney has reiterated a demand that a newly formed commission to run rugby league be ''fully independent'', endorsing the Queensland Rugby League's stance that no one who has held an official position in the game in the past three years should be eligible to be a commissioner. With November 1 - the originally planned date for the handover to a commission - fast approaching, the NSWRL and ARL will stage successive meetings today at which the draft of the constitution document will be tabled. The role at those meetings of Colin Love, the chairman of both bodies, is crucial. It had been expected he would be appointed one of the commissioners. ''That is the only sticking point, really,'' one chairman told the Herald. ''The issue is the independence of the commissioners. Queensland want them purely independent, and the clubs do as well. We want them [the NSWRL] to concede that point tomorrow.'' The demand of the QRL and the clubs rules out any commission aspirant who has been an official with the ARL, NSWRL, QRL, Country Rugby League, News Ltd or any club in the past three years.

    That leech Colin Love will never sign off on this until he gets a guaranteed role somewhere where he can continue his blood sucking.

          Exactly, no dinasours, leeches and hangers-on that currently have their snouts in the trough.

          Put a broom through the ranks and start afresh. Can't do much worse than what's gone down in the past.

          The likes of Colin Love and Geoff Carr need to be put out to pasture and have no involvement with the independent commission moving forward.

              Commission gets green light but has been delayed Brad Walter and Glenn Jackson
              October 22, 2010

              Tuesday, December 7 is set to become rugby league's independence day after the ARL board yesterday agreed on a constitution for the new body that will take over the running of the game.

              The decision by the six NSW board members and their four Queensland counterparts effectively paves the way for the ARL and News Ltd to hand control of the game to an independent commission. The official handover, which was initially due to take place on November 1, will now occur after the ARL's annual general meeting on December 7, which is expected to coincide with the announcement of the inaugural eight commissioners.

              Under the model agreed yesterday, all commissioners will be prohibited from having held a position with any club, league or News Ltd for the previous three years – ruling out ARL chairman Colin Love and NRL director Katie Page. The NRL will also be disbanded and replaced by a new body – known as the ARL, but which will bear little resemblance to the existing organisation of the same name after the new constitution agreed at yesterday's board meeting is implemented.

              Advertisement: Story continues below A key development at the ARL annual general meeting will be appointing the 16 NRL clubs as members of the new company, which will also include the NSWRL and QRL. NRL chief executive David Gallop will retain his position with the new body and is likely to have greater influence due to the fact that none of the commissioners will have had recent involvement in the game. The inaugural eight commissioners will be chosen by the ARL and News Ltd, who will finally exit the game 15 years after launching the Super League raids that resulted in split competitions in 1997.

              The NRL was formed out of a peace deal between the warring factions at the end of that season, which gave the ARL and News Ltd each a 50 per cent stake in the competition. ARL chief executive and NSWRL general manager Geoff Carr said he expected the changeover to take place a matter of weeks after the date which had been originally planned – November 1.

              ‘‘I can’t speak on News Ltd’s behalf, but we’re hopeful that the process will continue to move quickly, even though there are a number of other decisions that have to be finalised around the changeover,’’ Carr said.

              ‘‘You’ve got to dissolve a partnership, you’ve got to have a new membership agreement, as well as a whole other number of legal issues. But the biggest hurdle is the constitution, and we seem to be over that one.

              There’s still a process to work through, but we’re on the downhill side now.’’

              The second draft will be drawn up by the legal team which put together the first – independent law firm Kemp Strang – and will then be sent to News Ltd for the media giant’s go-ahead. Asked about the changes to the first draft, one of which is said to be specifically centred on the independence of the commissioners, Carr said:

              ‘‘In fairness to the process ... I don’t want News Ltd to think I’m going outside the process so I’ll do them the courtesy of letting them look at it before I start commenting publicly.’’

              Carr said that, subject to agreement by News Ltd, the draft constitution would then be circulated among the committee representing the NRL clubs, with a view to establishing the commission as soon as practical. ‘‘This whole exercise is a major undertaking,’’ he said.
