His commercial acumen, his calmness and his work ethic has been outstanding,” he said. “18 uninterrupted rounds without a bye. ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys AM said Mr Abdo had impressed the Commission with the way he has guided the game through the COVID-19 Pandemic and driving the NRL’s commercial growth in previous years.

"I will only do this on the tremendous support and enthusiasm we have from people. Abdo said the unprecedented climate, due to the coronavirus, has called for understanding at the end of the season. I’ve learnt so much from him and will continue to. From the clubs' perspective the moves make perfect sense; why risk a star player getting injured in a dead rubber match and being ruled out of a crucial finals clash. “It’s an honour to be appointed CEO of the NRL. “We have 32 regular-season games to go, we have eight finals games to go and three Origin games, When we have winners in both the men’s and women’s competitions we are going to look back on this year with great pride.”. “These clubs are being paid $2 million a week for this game.”.

Then we must think innovatively about enhancing our game and ultimately seeking long term growth.”. League ARLC Commissioner Peter V'landys has confirmed that Andrew Abdo has been appointed permanent CEO of the NRL. He has been the one who has brought in the majority of our new non broadcast revenues. After 140 days in the NRL bubble, players out of finals contention are almost ready to kick back and let loose. We must stabilise, renovate and grow. “This is an absolute honour and the highlight of my career,” Abdo said. I want to thank the Commission for their support and setting the strategic direction to lead the game through the COVID-19 Pandemic. He's been thrown in the deep end and was either going to sink or drown," he said. South African born and raised, Mr Abdo, 43, is a chartered accountant who worked for Deloitte in Johannesburg, Bermuda and Sydney before he joined the NRL. Interim NRL boss Andrew Abdo isn't planning to be a stop-gap measure In seeking to determine whether Andrew Abdo can handle the hotseat that is the NRL chief executive’s role better than his predecessor, look no further than their respective performances in courtroom 18C of the Federal Court just a year ago. Almost every week we have faced a new obstacle, but together we have found a way through to ensure the Telstra Premiership has not only continued but led the way in Australian sport. “Being able to work with such incredible people over such a challenging time has reinforced the spirit of rugby league, what it represents to our fans, to some many people in Australia and well beyond that.”.

NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said the pandemic would force difficult decisions to be made and “good people” would be lost. Now that Andrew has been appointed, I think he's got to be at centre stage. Prior to the pandemic our revenues had increased by 15 per cent, year on year, for the past four years and that was down to Andrew and his team. Fellow league journalist Paul Crawley said coaches should have the right to pick whatever side they choose, and the NRL shouldn't have the power to stop them. "I said when I took on the role I wouldn't be at the forefront and the CEO would be at the forefront.
