...never said they would or would have to.


...launch or Buy?

...you are not alone...the UK is the same....that's why ITV "might be" purchased....if the Govt accept the deal that the ITV board already have.

...yes they are...in the world they are.

...and rightly so....but people vote in elections......the Media influence people.....that's the reality of the REAL WORLD.....even on your little poisoned rock

ok ill settle this the easy way - lets bet. like others on here when asked to back their opinions they usually just go away

the funniest thing ive ever read on RL forums was you on the david gallop interview thread describing yourself as a stakeholder in the nrl

i laughed at that for 10 mins

and typical nutters didnt take the bet the silly troll

way to avoid!

And Telstra, given the national broadband roll-out, won't give up its BigPond rights without a legal fight.



"While Seven plans to bid for all NRL games, owning State of Origin, with its three games always appearing in the year's top 20 programs, would guarantee a ratings win for the year."

forgot about the battle for online media thatll add more dollars for us. the nrl has got to do this slowly, theres a lot of money coming its way but its got to negotitate slowly and carefully.

weve got the TV rights in australia providing a big increase, then the online rights which telstra got too cheaply, the main nrl sponsor rights and the tv rights in nz

handled correctly well have more money than we know what to do with

.
Firstly, I suspect the people in charge of the negotiations are professionals....I am sure they are genuinely grateful for your advice though
Secondly...unless you work for the NRL....stop using the word "we" in reference to the NRL......you are a fan DiM.......you are not part of the collective "we'.
...lastly, use the letters "IMO' after you post your opinion.....it gets confusing because you notmally only post url's.....HTH

Brisbane pop = 2mill
Perth+Adelaide pop = 2.85mill

yeh I'm sure he knows what he's talking about!

Sydney + Brisbane = 6.5mill
Melbourne + Perth + Adel = 6.8 mill

but he didn't mentions state, he talked about capital cities and showed the usual East coast ignorance that you get in the media over there.

and what's with the Telstra legal fight? On what grounds? When the contract runs out what are they going to take the NRL to court over? Not one of his best articles by a long shot.
