Super League investment talks: NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo says progress made amid hopes of 'partnership, not takeover'

NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo says progress has been made in talks over the southern-hemisphere body investing in Super League, but insists they are interested in a "partnership" as opposed to a "takeover".

Amid continued speculation over NRL investment in Super League, with a view to bringing more money into the sport in the northern hemisphere while maximising its global presence, Abdo flew into the UK for face-to-face talks.
