News Ltd ... the NRL's bitch

I noticed some of ch10 showing all 8 games per week on FTA. Isn't that going to screw any PayTV contract? Without money from Foxtel the NRL will never get 1Bil. As if Ch10 can afford 1Bil on their own.

Also, how will the NRL ever be shown in the 4 AFL heartland states of Australia? As if TAS SA WA VIC want to see 16 hours of NRL when only Victoria has a team that no one likes. That's ratings suicide.

Good points Xman.

As I've been saying all along, 1 Billion is pure fantasy from the NRL and its supporters. Not going to happen for many, many reasons we've been over and over again in addition to what you've also outlined here Xman.

Keep dreaming throwball fans.

[NSWAFL]

That's the whole point! The key areas and Melbourne and Sydney. AFL has a presence in both and a good deal of general support. NRL only has a presence, and the general support only exists in Sydney! General support in Melbourne = ZERO!

[cooee]

What do you mean by general support?

its called comptetitive tension

if ten think the other 3 including seven .. will just let ten roll in & take all 8 games
then they're in for a fight
up goes the price

foxtel will NOT allow the NRL to go without a fight ... as they would be F'd without it
as would 9

7 want our rep program
if ten get most of the clubs games ... then 9 will want our rep games too

its a bidding war
up up up goes the price ... whooo hooo a Billion is just the starting point =D> =D> :D

[NSWAFL]

What do you mean by general support?

I mean crowds, as in big ones on a consistent basis shown by a high average. I mean media coverage, both electronic and paper. They hide the Storm on TV and in the Melbourne papers! They don't do that to the Swans in Sydney! I mean grass roots back up....hell AFL MURDERS NRL there!

I smell fear

[King-Eliagh]

Me too man. The place reeks of it. Tick tock tick tock tick tock, they're all biting their nails feigning bravado in here. Beaussies the worst at this stuff, he'll be all show but on the inside he's fretting like lil boy who's peed his pants at school assembley.

[NSWAFL]

I smell fear

You know what they say. You smell your own first.

[King-Eliagh]

Never heard anyone say that before nsw. Are you making up sayings?

Hey dumbarse, Channel 10 and Foxtel are one and the same led by Lachlan Murdoch and News Ltd.

You lot are still News Ltd's bitches.

Channel 9 are fucked and Channel 7 are already committed to the AFL. Good luck NRL.

[justanotherleaguefan]

If channel9 lose Rugby League that network may aswell pack there bags now. They are gonna be in an even worse state if they lose it. They will be fighting extremly hard to keep it.
