Anther big win to Australia's leading code of football. Another day beatup and his fumbling mates go Missing In Action lololololololol!!!!!!!!!!!

Is 4 billion across 7 years what they would want ? Is that less than the current AFL deal ?

CH9 have offered 5 years.
FOX have offered 7 years.

It is over to you Channel 9 ...

But bare in mind he ain't no expert beatup. His expertise is running backpacker joints. He knows no more about broadcasting or FTA ratings than Harry Whoeveror, Billy Bunting or you or me.

Its seems Lukey boy's 'team' sent a draft stat dec to the AFL Integrity Unit before sending the ...

The NRL is annihilating the AFL on the yearly averages for FTA. Someone call the fight off. Its a bloodbath!!!!!

Yu oud think with two nations bidding for the rights it would make the nrl package more valuable as a product i would think. Be interesting to see if the nrl gets more for Australian TV rights than the AFL do. Especially with origin, the women’s nrl taking off- especially soo, and the expansion ...

Wasn't it a Melbourne home game? Plus Melbourne are not a high drawing club either - so I gather this is why they played this game in Alice Springs
