No. He knows his side of the facts. he knows whats been reported. As you guys are fond of telling us all the time, the media lies especially news corp, but fuck me if you dont trot it out as soon as it suits you all
Almost right Wookster. The media is reporting the $150M discount Gilty has been telling them. So providing Gilty is telling the truth (and with his track record who knows) PVL would know who did better as long as he is telling the truth. And since he has taken over the NRL he has a stellar record for getting it right & telling it exactly how it its.
This x 100
PVL since assuming leadership has made plenty of statements
All have been correct ..
He doesn't seem to talk shit .
So if he says they did better than fumbles .
Then I'll go with that .
Yep. No propaganda 101 hand book in his repertoire!!! Just up front, talk straight, get the job done.

No doubt the southern media are after him but he seems to enjoy the game lololololol!!!!!!! So far he's ahead on points!!!!

Where have fox admitted they paid overs? Or was it an unnamed source ...? Just curious.
it was just mention a few times in articles from
The Age
The Financial

even with just looking at the stats on FOX only
between what the NRL and AFL got from FOX

NRL comes up on top for FOX

so that tells you even without sources that FOX paid Overs..
and what is hurting them is SA AND WA get games on FTA into home states.
hurting subs and ratings for games.

And that's why fox ratings are pretty meaningless as an indication of national popularity. There is very little incentive for AFL fans to take up foxtel in all states bar VIC because they see their team on FTA.

The AFL have a great deal for their fans but fox get a raw deal with the AFL really

Like last thursday when we doubled your nightly figures? Or when we flogged you on Sunday and Friday?

As wookie said, subs are what matters to fox. The nrl is probably a more valuable product to fox because unless you're a broncos fan you need it to watch your team. The AFL are more interested in their fans than TV money

Newcastle is a regional team. You know, one of those that you wouldn't be show on your night of nights.

Kevin needs to be told that a 35% drop is much more alarming
