Eh? Sorry don't get what you're on about geezer. Apparently I'm ignoring something, but I don't know what? Just tell me instead of suggesting something inaccurately.

You're working in Australia at a RL club but you can't see the conflict?

Bahahahaha.

Read the Masters article if you really can't work out what conflict is involved in any discussion involving News Limited and rugby league TV deals.

Concentrate on this bit...
"It has been hard for the NRL to achieve a just price when it has been ruled by News Ltd directors who sit on one side of a table making an offer and then run around the other side of the table to gleefully accept it."

Naa, naa, it doesn't exist.

Amazing - their crowds for international games are so much larger than their counterparts in RL - how does a minority sport attract 70k+ for a game in the heartland of RL?

Hopefully, the sdvent of the Independent Comission will put the self-serving News faction to bed.

Surely the question should be; can Fox afford to lose the NRL games, more than can the NRL afford to lose Fox?

Well being a well known troll who knows it all out here, how about you telling us?

I read it now. Thanks. Oh that conflict. I didn't get what you're on about first up.


Apparently working at an NRL club means that I'm meant to know what an article said before I read it. Sorry Eels, I wasn't born in Gallifrey. Eels fan, give it a rest mate. You're style of posting is what made a lot of people walk away from this forum. It's just so unnecessary. Really.

Excellent. As Masters clearly shows there is only one reason the NRL wont get more than AFL; the aforementioned conflict of interest...

In your opinion that is.

In my opinion, it is not a very objective article.
QuoteHe also argued AFL has higher numbers on six capital city ratings, conveniently ignoring rugby league's huge following in NSW and Queensland regional areas.'"

Not in my opinion, in the media industry that holds true.

Re advertising, 60% of the national spend is in RL areas even greater than the population advantage in RL areas...

NRL wont get under 1 billon even while getting shafted due to the conflict.

As for axe's, Masters whole family has a reputaton for high quality writing of integrity including his mother and brother.

You don't like straight to the point instead of acting like a clown and logging in with different names agreeing with yourself?
