NRL & Waterhouse = No $50 Million Deal

[Beaussie]

Am sure eelofwest said the $50 million was banked just a month or so ago. Hmm, hope the NRL was banking on the money as badly as our eel was. $50 million gone.

A sponsorship deal between bookmaker Tom Waterhouse and the NRL appears to have broken down with both parties walking away from negotiations.

"We failed to reach agreement around terms with Tom Waterhouse," the NRL's general manager for strategy, Shane Mattiske, told ABC's Four Corners in an interview to be broadcast on Monday night.

Earlier this year, it was reported the NRL had clinched a deal with Waterhouse after the high-profile bookmaker started advertising heavily on Channel 9's NRL coverage.

It was reported his combined NRL-Channel 9 deal would be $50 million over five years.

Fuck the nRL is so unprofessional when it comes to deals and agreements like this. It really is 20 years behind the AFL.

Also this latest setback means expansion is probably delayed for another 5 years!
