its there .....claims of being broke won't deter the NRL
broadcasters have made their bed by paying what they did for an under performing commodity in the AFL
they've set the tone

lets see ...who sees it out
massive competitive tension out there for the sport of the next 2 decades ... unlike the AFL .. stuck at the station ... the NRL is a train going somewhere
