Peter V'landys to Serve as Interim NRL Chief Executive After Abdo Resignation The sudden departure of Andrew Abdo as CEO of the National Rugby League (NRL) has created a leadership vacuum at the top of one of Australia's most popular sports codes.
Peter V'landys, chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC), will assume the role of interim CEO.
This marks a return to dual roles for V'landys, who held them briefly in 2015 when David Smith departed as NRL CEO.
