ARL Commission Chairman Peter V’landys has blasted the AFL for apparently telling their stakeholders the NRL surrendered $300 million in their new TV dealing labeling it “fiction” and “completely false”.

“It’s not correct. It’s laughable. I’m disappointed that they feel they need to make up figures,” V’landys told The Sydney Morning Herald.

“Nobody knows our figures because we’ve kept them commercially in-confidence.

“But looking at their figures, if they have given up $150 million, we have done substantially better than them.

“For them to go out and say such fiction without knowing is a concern about them more so than us.

“I don’t know where they are getting their fictional figures from because they are not accurate. They are completely false.”
