Rugby Australia seems to be in a lot of trouble financially.

[leeroy*NRL*]

for 22 games between 5 sides,

even if you give each game 250k - 300k = 6million Approx in total for the little comp.

what the good news is (with Castle Gone)
Union may still broker a deal with FOX.

We now have deals done by Peter The Great for Rugby League, in full and extended, and partially for Rugby. Gilty had better dismount from his polo pony quick smart and get a deal done for the fumbling game. He's looking decidedly inept at this point in time.

Well it looks like 'ol fancy boy Gilty got off the polo pony at the very last second to get 7 on board. No doubt Peter the Great put the fear of God into the prancing poodle!!!!!! Reports say the Fox deal is still in limbo. Any news on that beatup???? I mean facts by the way.........not your usual.......ummmm..........beatup pal!!!!!!

Rugby in Australia is stuffed. Their management and supporters have the same attitude as the fumbling crowd. I.E. they're up 'emselves. Unfortunately for Rugby they haven't got a similar mass of delusional medicated subservient fans that the fumblers have.

I'd say RA will bail 'em out this year. But it will be there last.

Would be an advantage to the Storm if this happens.
