Rupert Murdoch got where he is by being a realist, and not living in cloud cuckoo land.
His judgement of AFL as the premium code in Australia is spot on.
AYE BRUCE
Murdoch just signed a billion dollar deal.
why would he appear in a media conference and not pump up the AFL
he just invested in them
a FOX personal will be doing the same thing when they sign a billion dollar deal for the NRL
Murdoch knows how big the NRL is
and if its 8 or 9 games Simulcast on FOX
just look at that PRICE TAG


just suxs we gotta wait for it....
My opinion The AFL still operates better in doing Tv Deals.
I dislike the way the NRL is doing there current one.
