Panthers boss SLAMS NRL’s prizemoney as ’embarrassing’ and blames footy supremo Peter V’Landys

‘It’s a terrible look for the game’: Panthers boss SLAMS NRL’s prizemoney as ’embarrassing’ and blames footy supremo Peter V’Landys for slashing financial reward for winning Grand Final to $200,000

• Grand Final winners this year will make around $200,000 in prizemoney
• The sum is approximately half of what the Roosters received in 2019
• Panthers CEO Brian Fletcher said the figure left a ‘poor taste in the mouth’ 
• NRL clubs agreed to slash reward for eight finalists in 2020 because of Covid-19
• But the NRL reported a $41million cash surplus in its latest financial year
