| 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?

great news and a good story.....but I do worry. Expected 1 Billion,,,,,I expect Pizza to arrive in 20 minutes when I order it...but it doesn't alway happen.
The figure of 1 billion is constantly mentioned by RL journalists. It's as if they believe if they say it enough times, it is what the deal will be worth. If the NRL gets 800 million (as I think they will) then will these journalists turn on the NRL for failing, when in reality, the NRL never said 1 Billion....
...In short, we can all speculate on what we think will happen, but none of us will be part of the negotiation...and therefore that's all it would be...speculation.

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."'"
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...

| Quote: WestCoaster "Roy Masters is the best analyst of this stuff in Australia.'" In your opinion that is.
In my opinion, it is not a very objective article.
Quote He also argued AFL has higher numbers on six capital city ratings, conveniently ignoring rugby league's huge following in NSW and Queensland regional areas.'"
....the author seems to have an axe to grind. Advertisers (the ones who pay the TV companies so that they in turn can pay the sports) care about spread as well as numbers.
$800,000,000 is what the NRL will get IMO and until they get WA, Adelaide and another state on board then they will get less than the other lot. IMO that is.

| 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?

WTF, I pm'd you and gave you a few links to tv ratings, you have my permission to post it if you like and we'll see who's telling the truth HUH?
I pm'd gutter for a bit of fun, he knows it so why do you care what me and him argue, chat, disagree or agree about, are you this forums self made cop or something?
If you don't like my posting style, put me on ignore and harden the hell up.

And you have it wrong, I didn't accuse you of using other names, I was talking about the fools doing it here that stand out like dogs balls. (though not as much in the last week or two)
wires have been crossed mate.

| Thanks for the input.
If you guys don;t like my posting style or me, put eelsfan on ignore and stop bloody whinging.
I don't like certain peoples posting styles here, but you don't see me whinging, whining and sooking non stop about them or wasting mods time trying to remove someone. I also don't have pm discussions with others planning how to get certain users banned.
So either deal with my straight forward ways, or put me on ignore, but ffs, stop whinging and crying like little bitches.
I am who I am, you either like or hate me, I'm not going to change because you decide to have a sook.,
It's a forum for people to put their opinion across, it's not a forum where you complain to mods each day because that mean Aussie convict said something you dissagree with.
