The NRL is a secure business with a secure financial future, CEO Dave Smith said today.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Addressing the Business of Sport Summit in Sydney, Mr Smith said there was a close link between strong governance and delivering a strong on-field product.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, sport employs more than 134,000 Australians and generates nearly $13 billion in income.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The NRL has annual revenues of around $350 million making it one of the biggest sports in Australia.  Last year a surplus of nearly $50 million was recorded.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Smith said part of its success could be put down to the increased emphasis on governance since the Australian Rugby League Commission was established three years ago.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Good governance is a must. It is a condition precedent to success," Mr Smith said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"That is true of business in my past experience, and it is equally true of sport. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"In some respects, I'd suggest it is even more important in sport given the uniqueness of the interests at stake and the pressures decision makers face on a daily basis.  </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Sport is about passion and emotion, but governance structures must ensure that decision making is professional. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Every sport needs the passion of its fans, its players and its volunteers but I suggest every sport needs its administrators to balance passion and responsibility."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Smith said $28 million of last year's surplus had already been reinvested back into the game.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nearly two thirds went to the NRL Clubs and affiliated States. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said the NRL has also set up a sustainability fund to give the game protection in the event of unforeseen setbacks in the future. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Running the business well has allowed us to invest," he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Smith said the NRL was one of the closest competitions in the world with 10 different clubs wining the Premiership since 1998. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And, in the same period, all 16 teams have finished in the top four.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But Smith said that for the NRL to broaden its appeal to the community it needs to meet the expectations of the community.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"The great thing about sport is that it is about so much more than the bottom line," he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"We might not have shareholders, but we have a huge roll of stakeholders who are the true owners of our sport.  </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"As leaders in sport we have a big responsibility – not just to the bottom line but to something much more – to our communities. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"That's the great challenge, that's the great opportunity and that's what motivates me."</div>

Arsenal and Liverpool are the divison's in-form sides

<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Saturday 12:45, BT Sport 1.<br />Match Odds: Arsenal <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="1" oldtitle="5/6" title="">1.86</b>, Liverpool <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="2" oldtitle="4/1" title="">4.80</b>, The Draw [3.90]</span></strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">The Premier League returns after last weekend's international break - and the opening game should be a cracker. Arsenal and Liverpool are the divison's form sides, with 27 and 25 points respectively from their last ten games, and recent meetings between these two have been particularly exciting. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">In terms of the basic statistics, it's difficult to know how to read this contest. Arsenal, impressively, have been ahead at both half-time and full-time in their last seven home Premier League matches. However, Liverpool have kept <strong>six consecutive away clean sheets</strong>, a remarkable record considering Brendan Rodgers was being criticised for Liverpool's poor defending only a couple of months ago. Either way, one of these sequences will be broken here.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Both managers have selection dilemmas, although for very different reasons. Arsene Wenger will be wondering how to cram his attacking talents into the side, while Rodgers' team selection will depend upon fitness.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Looking at Liverpool first, the headline news is that Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana all considered doubtful. However, it's likely Sterling and Lallana missed England's draw in Italy with only slight knocks, as is often the case when players are absent for international friendlies, and they should start here. Sturridge's problem seems more serious, and considering he's often made unsuccessful returns from injury this season, Rodgers might elect to leave him on the bench.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">This could suit Liverpool tactically, too. In the reverse fixture, Arsenal struggled to cope with the movement of Lallana and Coutinho from wide positions into the centre of the pitch, and this problem was furthered by the acceleration and lateral running of Sterling upfront, who seems to suit this<strong> 3-4-3 system</strong> better than Sturridge. While the game ended in a 2-2 draw, with Liverpool needing a late equaliser, Rodgers will recall how Liverpool in the opening stages, and could replicate that Lallana-Sterling-Coutinho front trio this weekend.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">This would mean Lazar Markovic coming into the side on the right flank. Jordan Henderson and Joe Allen are now established in the centre, while Alberto Moreno should continue on the left despite being outplayed by Juan Mata last time out.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Steven Gerrard and <strong>Martin Skrtel </strong>are both suspended following stamps in that 2-1 defeat to Manchester United - strangely, the latter might be a bigger miss. Skrtel would have been useful at challenging Olivier Giroud - instead, either Dejan Lovren or Kolo Toure will be handed that role, between Emre Can and Mamadou Sakho.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Arsene Wenger's decision is about shape - 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3? On current form, the first two names on the teamsheet should be Giroud, who has managed nine goals in his last eight Arsenal starts - and netted on international duty in midweek - and Francis Coquelin, who has been a revelation in the holding role.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Last time out, a 2-1 win at Newcastle,<strong> Mesut Ozil </strong>was absent through illness, and while he's likely to return here, it's difficult to know precisely where. Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla completed the midfield trio at Newcastle, with Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck out wide. While Welbeck is an injury doubt, and Ozil could take his place, will Wenger want Ozil wide against Liverpool wing-backs likely to spring forward quickly? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Maybe Cazorla will revert to the wider role instead, or alternatively Ramsey has, on occasion, been deployed wide too. Wenger has a big choice to make here, and it could have a significant impact on the tactical battle.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">The key to that tactical battle is how Arsenal respond to Liverpool's play on the flanks. Wenger won't let Coquelin be as exposed as Flamini was to the drifts of Liverpool's wide players, and Arsenal won't be naive enough to let the wing-backs fly forward unattended, as was the case at Anfield, with Sanchez and Welbeck not contributing enough defensively. That said, Liverpool will probably start this game cautiously, with the wing-backs more reserved.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">Arsenal's attacking play will revolve around Giroud. Increasingly prolific from crosses, his hold-up play is also getting the best from Ozil and Ramsey, and Arsenal will look to play quick <strong>one-twos </strong>with him in the final third.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">I don't often venture into the correct score market, but I fancy Arsenal to narrowly win this game, and can't help but notice five of their last eight domestic games have been 2-1 victories. Backing another, at <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="3" oldtitle="9/1" title="">9.80</b>, looks good value to me.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><br /><strong>Recommended Bet<br />Back Arsenal to win 2-1 at <b class="inline-odds has-qtip" data-hasqtip="4" oldtitle="9/1" title="">9.80</b></strong></span><br />
