Peter V’landys is set to resign as Racing NSW chief executive, with an announcement scheduled for Thursday, according to multiple outlets. Hours after the Racing NSW resignation becomes public, he is expected to be unveiled in a new role with the NRL.
The reports state that V’landys will take up an unprecedented position as the NRL’s executive chairman. All three sources present the move as a significant shift between the racing and rugby league codes, highlighting both the timing of the resignation and the immediate transition to the NRL.
Across the outlets, the core details align: V’landys is departing his Racing NSW leadership role and moving directly into an NRL executive-level appointment. While each outlet frames the change in similar terms, they provide the same basic timeline and the same description of the job as new and notable within the NRL’s governance structure.
