Expansion and a new broadcast rights deal will be the two biggest negotiations entrusted to new ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys.

The Racing NSW chief executive began his tenure as the ARLC’s new boss on Wednesday following the resignation of former chair Peter Beattie.

Day one was a meeting between the NRL and the ARLC at Penrith, where Todd Greenberg presented an update on expanding the competition, which would coincide with the new TV rights deal in 2023.

The current $1.8 billion-dollar broadcast deal expires in 2022.

The briefing will go for two days, with V’landys expected to front media on Thursday afternoon in his first official duties as ARLC boss.

“We’re talking through a range of information and one of them is the footprint of the game,” Greenberg said.

“Don’t expect us to come out this week and give you the new footprint because that’s not the intention.

“The intention is to provide an update to the commission. It’s a long piece of work that will fall into 2020 and the next year as well, but it’s a pretty material update for them to start to consider what the future of the game looks like.”

Greenberg has previously said the NRL is not interested in relocating a Sydney team, but would be open to introducing either one or two new franchises, believed to be in Brisbane and/or Perth.

Current free-to-air broadcaster Nine Entertainment has long endorsed a second Brisbane team. In 2020, the Broncos will have the most free-to-air games of any NRL team with 18, with 10 of those in the prime-time Friday night slot.

Over the next two years the NRL and the ARLC will need to determine what the competition will look like in 2023 in order to sell the broadcast rights.

Meanwhile, outgoing commissioner Beattie will remain on the ARLC until February as part of a transition period.
