Yeah- I know for cricket it holds more at the gabba than for footy and was wondering if same for SCG.


aye Fred, do you know why for Cricket it holds more than AFL .. (im struggling to understand why?)

And a 20th team so there are more games per week.

The NRL’s Perth Bears sign deal with The West Australian’s new owners

Perth Bears have signed a three-year deal with The West Australian’s soon-to-be parent company guaranteeing it coverage. From later this month, pending a shareholder vote, Southern Cross Media will take over Seven West in a deal ...

They might want to, but they will not.
But Foxtels new owners attitude does not auger well for the new NRL rights negotiations.


True (if all reports are true) It will be interesting take on Talks with NRL>
