the show presented RL in a very positive light

big tv deal, solid expansion plans

the oneill comment about thurston playing 7s at the olympics was laughed at by the media there.

Quote: Catalancs "What exactly was this? Just found this, O'Neill trying to talk Union up. A bit like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. In another article he's crapping on about how he won't poach any more NRL stars unless they "come for the challenge on an incentive based contract". www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/ ... 5851097651 If they go, they go for the dough. I also like when he says "Union is emerging from a trough", what a load of rubbish. Union is deep in the trough in Australia and still on the downswing. They haven't yet hit rock bottom because all he has to talk about is Rugby League.

at least he admits union is declining

the gate from an origin game is $5 - 8 million per game

It still is...



What a massive shame.

If you look closely you can see O'Neill working his jaw muscles hard whenever Gallop is talking...



Alan Pease anyone?

thats because hes thinking of giving gallop a BJ.

ill bet he wishes he could be in charge of the nrl now rather than union

Although he clearly thinks it, he wouldn't admit it unless he was placed on the rack and stretched considerably...

And that's the funny thing, for all Gallops flaws, some people about 6/7 years ago wanted this muppet O'Neil to run RL, he'd have killed it in two ways...

Incompetence and vengefulness, the guys a complete c0ck.

For sure, the merkin would murder RL on purpose if he had the chance.

oneill is the man to thank for destroying rugby union in oz

he blew $40 million in their funds and now the sport is saddled with salaries it cant afford

hes playing extra bledisloe games in hong kong, more test matches and club games to cover the financial holes

still the game just keeps shrinking

the collapse in bledisloe ratings by 50% is a major problem for them

messenger i played the game for 10 years are you saying i was just pretending to like the game!!! ha! going to the warriors play the storm later this month and world champ kiwi's vs the nation that used to world champs at the new melbourne stadium in may! if your going? ill met you before the game you can call me names to my face if you want?


anyway just saying gallop until this year has done little in regards to expansion or improving tv coverage for people outside nsw and qld! he wants a well paid gig on the new commision thats his angle in my opinion. good that he is finally doing his job tho better later than never
