KEY POINTS:
Sparc is offering to back league financially and bring money from gaming trusts back to the game provided there are changes to the management and governance at headquarters.
The New Zealand Rugby League board will spend the weekend trying to sell the deal to provinces and associate members and is due to announce its plans on Monday in Auckland.
Within league's hierarchy there is concern that control will be usurped by a Government body, which in the past has provided no financial or other support but it may not equal the concern over lack of funding from trusts and other sources.
Sparc's plans are driven by a review conducted by Sir John Anderson, who has apparently recommended changes to the constitution, changes to the management from the NZRL board with more direction provided to the districts, and yet another review of national competitions.
Anderson's review which was presented to the board during the week has been described as "robust and thorough" and delves extensively into the finances, financial stability and sustainability of the game.
There is no doubt league has not sold itself well in recent years, with marketing opportunities built on the successful Kiwis campaigns and no sponsorship advantage taken of the World Cup win.
At the same time spending reached new highs and slowed after the departure of chairman Andrew Chalmers.
Sparc spokesman John Tulloch said the report made recommendations that would strengthen the management and administration, based on what worked for other national sporting bodies.
It is believed the NZRL board is mainly in agreement with the proposals, which it will present to districts in Wellington today and in Auckland tomorrow.
The report will be made public on Monday and the board will take feedback before its annual meeting in March. Under the existing constitution, 75 per cent of districts must vote for the proposal in order for it to proceed.
But money is a great incentive for the districts to agree.
Sparc has apparently offered to fund the changes to management structure and then to back the new board that is appointed under that structure with more finance into the future.
The game has had no trusts funding for 12 months, due to concern about lax handling of previous grants.
Sparc has also offered to get the trusts back on side, provided its demands are met.
