You play a very dangerous game when you refuse a Sky deal.
Look at the FA choosing a a joint Setanta/ITV deal over SKY/BBC which has left them a big black hole on the England/FA CUP deal.

Don't worry about the troll, he's an idiot.

So Roy Masters is lying?
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll you know.

Of course not, but I know a troll when I see one

You're opinion.

But im right. Sky ditched the NRL



I deal in facts, not made up hearsay

I even remember someone on here posting an email from Sky who told them they had dropped the coverage.

Cherrydevil is obviously confused

Go on then, find me some quotes other than from random people on forums that detail that sky put in a bid.

id rather go off the quote I posted thankyou very much.

Sky dropped the NRL

Sky didn't ditch the rights troll, they were out bid.

"NRL was once telecast on BSkyB but the Rupert Murdoch-owned cable network ditched it when forced to pay more for English Premier League soccer matches."





I know its a bitter pill to swallow that only the east coast of aus and a handful of brits watch the NRL which is sky decided it just wasnt worth it

I dont need to because as I said it was widely publicised at the time and anyone with even a passing interest in Rugby knows what happened. As such I couldnt be bothered wasting my time telling people what they already know. If you are that bothered search yourself because you obviously have nothing better to do.

I have looked high and low because I dont like to post things without anything to back me up and there is NOTHING other than a couple of people posting on forums saying Sky bid, only to be quoted by other people with links showing that Sky ditched it. I certainly dont remember it being widely publicised at all. As I said, there is NOTHING on the internet, so if it was widely publicised, where are all the internet links? Or have they all been removed by the RFU?

Believe it or not, I couldnt really care less and dont give a damn if you believe it or not. However if you were a Rugby fan you would know what happened as it was widely reported at the time. However as you are a Union fan, with nothing better to do than troll on Rugby websites, then you probably genuinly haven't got a clue.
