Cronulla Can't Afford a Chief Executive and...

[Raiderdave]

So where is your evidence they won't pay?

evidence ?
the AFL saying they'll fight it ..... why would they bother if they are getting their money you wombat
what are they fighting exactly ?

the deal with Telstra was for exclusive rights
the AFL can't provide this ........... the deal is null & void

why would anyone pay 30 mill a year for something they can get .......... for free


oh thats right

they wouldn't ...............

They'll fight it to protect Telstra, their partner. That's not proof they won't get paid!

oh dear

:lol

Plus they'd be annoyed that Optus get to show it for free. Why wouldn't they take it to court. Optus should pay the AFL too then.

Both codes stand to lose.the only question is have telstra already paid the AFL? If so the NRL are the only loser.

[NSWAFL]

Why would they tear up a contract that they'd already paid for? They have paid up I believe, Xman.

because the contract is for exlusivity .. it can't be delivered.. that was the deal ... so there is now.. no deal.
but
if what your saying is true
well that explains a lot

no wonder the AFL are sh.itting themselves n running around like headless chooks

if this stays as is

the AFL will have to pay Telstra

153 Million .................



oh how funny



sweet

[NSWAFL]

They paid for provision! Stupid turd.....

[Raiderdave]

They paid for provision! Stupid turd.....

if they paid ... they will get nothing for it

so the AFL have to ...... give it back

[Xman]

Hmm isn't that up to telstra? NSWAFL is right. If the contract didn't specify exclusivity then telstra will still honor the contract.

Either way the AFL have a contract which may be honored. The NRL will miss out no matter what. 700k here we come.

Telstra will not pay 30 mill for nothing
which is essentially what they'd be doing

the AFL are F'd .... thats why they are scurrying around engaging lawyers .. wake up F wit


oh & I think we'll do better then 700K ... about 999 Million more in fact peanut

[Xman]

How are they paying for nothing when they have the rights to show AFL on the internet?

Either way it's icing on the cake of a massive TV rights deal. Even taking it away will mean little, and thats pure speculation given it's possible the decision will be overturned or telstra will still honor the contract.

The NRL are the ones who will be panicking! 700M here we come

[NSWAFL]

All that's happened, Dave, is that Telstra has lost the rights to be the sole provider! They are still the primary provider, doofus! All that's happened is that Optus got legal permission to re-transmit the data even though they don't have a contract with the AFL.

no one has to pay anything to show sport on the internet , including Telstra .. there is NO exclusivity
which was what Telstra paid for

give it back AFL

every cent

[NSWAFL]

You've got no idea, Dave.
