NZRL changes

Changes are under way at the top of the New Zealand Rugby League with chairman Garry Fissenden and board member Tim Gibson resigning from their posts yesterday. The Herald understands the pair announced their resignations at an NZRL board meeting in Auckland, with former Canterbury chairman Reon Edwards appointed interim chairman. The announcements come ahead of the NZRL's annual general meeting on Monday where it is expected the country's seven zones will vote to make changes to the NZRL's constitution, which will effectively force a change in leadership. The Herald understands the zones are looking to limit the tenure of board members to two four-year terms.
