[quote="Dave K.":1k8h5wh6]Seems all 12 clubs now have wealthy owners, time to put their heads together, get the right TV deal and get the sport moving in the right direction. Can't see a better opportunity. Also all clubs in a good position, so harder to sign players and the NRL will be looking more at our players, so youth players become more and more important.[/quote:1k8h5wh6] If all the owners are genuinely wealthy then maybe it is time to say to SKY improve the deal or we're off. Putting games on streaming with some key games on BBC/Channel4 is a big financial gamble but something has to change. Also need to factor in the cost of filming the games. That said even the BBC would cough up more if you were giving them games like the season opener, Good Friday and the Grand Final rather than 3rd choice pick.
