Give them a frigging chance in a timeslot people know about, they'll find their spot just like the swans and Lions did on Saturday nights and the newest clubs hidden away during the weekend daylight spots.

Is everything a fucking argument with you?

The NRL should have fought hard to get the Storm a FTA time slot in the last TV deal only into Vic at least for every away match if not for all matches. It would have cost them a few million but in the end would have done wonders for the local support in the long term. A failed oppotunity. But at least they have regular RL into Vic, SA and WA now which is a good thing.

Yeah right, you guys know it all but when it comes to facts, you are left wanting.

Tell me, how could the NRL from 1998 till 2012 tell 9 or fox what too do, didn't both orgs have first and last rights, thus they could offer what the hell they wanted and the NRL had to take it?

Ahhhh yes, you dumbarses forgot that one as well.

Hmmm, those clauses are gone now, the real battle begun when the ones mentioned above lost all their power over the game, but you guys continue talking shit, it's quite entertaining actually.

Its quite simple. The NRL goes to Fox and Nine and says how much cash would it take to make it so. Companys like fox and Nine are about one thing and that is cash. They would sell their own mothers for the right about of cash. dont give me excuses and resort to name calling, cash payed would have got the deal done.

How when you do not understand how things worked at the time, you rave on that you want to learn and know, well stop posting your opinion and research the bloody subject before coming back with something else as ridiculous as what you stated here with 9 and the then NRL.

Packer for your info paid the NRL $13 million PER YEAR from 1998 till 2005-6 when the last TV rights deal was done.

How the Fuck could the NRL with 9's money afford to spend anything on the Storm in that time when that amount doesn't even carry one club in the NRL for a single season let alone build anything in up Victoria?

Got it yet why they were on PTV all the time?

Why are the arse Raiders still on PTV all the time, even though apparently the nRL decide their schedule and not Channel 9?
