Australian Rugby League (ARL) says it will not be pressured into setting up an independent commission by the start of the season.
Representatives from all 16 NRL clubs this week voted to support having the commission up and running by March 12, but ARL chief executive Geoff Carr said that would only happen if there was a suitable agreement with News Limited. ARL and News Limited are each 50 per cent owners of the NRL.
Carr said: "The objective for ARL and News Limited as far as I know is that in principle we agree to a commission but we've got to get it right.
"If it's achieved by then, well and good, but if it's still got some problems you've just got to be careful you're not dealing with an unrealistic deadline.
"Certainly there's no doubt that both the current partners have got a desire to work towards a commission.
"They're doing so and they may well do it by then but that shouldn't be the be all and end all – the date. The result is important, not the date.
"If it's the wrong result at that time you've got to be realistic."
