Laughable to read this thread and some of the dribble written about the issue of the TV deal when this basic fact was so clearly overlooked.

And that isn't directed at you, Sheldon.

Some people thought the likes of myself, Dally, Oldtimer and a few others were mad with this conflict of interest stuff.

Rupert, do the world a favour .........., your time has passed.

Corporate bastårds.

Seems people here are at last starting to understand this issue. News Ltd.

People are aware geezer. Some have thought the NRL was the dogs bolloçks in a blinkered fashion and ignored it. Now some on here seem to think about it as there's a TV deal coming up having never mentioned it ever.

You seemed to be slow to pick up on the nuances of it given the rubbish in the old att thread. lol

Yeah righto.

Lucky for you it disappeared or I would pick out some of your choice "quotes" on the subject.

lol

Glad you learned something.

Nice one etc. etc.

You now post something smart next. That's how this works isn't it?

WC, you're being very unnecessary. There's no need to goad, intimate others are stupid or ignorant or name call anyone on this forum. We're fed up with people like that. We're hoping to discuss and debate on a forum.

Just glad to have helped raise the level of debate beyond a very basic level.

Something that was clearly missing when I joined...

Thank you then.

It is ok. The other mod already stated the issue was much clearer after I explained it...

I'm sure he'll thank you for your enlightenment also.

WELCOME.

RL is going to be screwed over again, you can see it 10 million miles away as it closes in.

No conflict according to some.

On a very small side note, surely the Israel Folau debacle will put most rugby league players off taking the AFL bait dollars.
