Roosters have a very flexible salary cap. Indeed they even have room to sign current rep players Crichton and Hall plus Brett Morris. This flexibility extends to select players being invited to golf games in the east, with wagers of 10K per hole: Miraculously the chairman loses every hole.

If you prefer BBQing to playing golf, you can let them know and, upon signing, a BBQ will be delivered to your house with a brown paper bag under the hood, not with steak but neatly placed cash.

Bryan Fletcher has tacitly confirmed salary cap rorts while at Easts though no investigation into the 2002 premiership is instigated. Perhaps sworn affidavits from all relevant players would be a good start?

In contrast, the Sea Eagles are thrown under the bus and the Eels crucified for paying people out of the merchandise shop till in a desperate attempt to compete. There are countless other examples.

The people at the NRL know it is happening but do nothing because they sit in their jobs at the discretion of the perpetrator.

The fans know and this corruption is corroding in the integrity of the game.

Millions more ratings, but but but ....... You people really are sd cases

Millions more in average ratings, but the peak ratings are a lot closer, and Im fairly convinced the peak reach audience matters, as does the length of time the average audience is sustained for - which is an extra 30% for AFL games. I know I know, you NRL guys like to ignore this shit though, trapped in your own echo chamber as you are, but it doesnt change the game length and average audiences.

yes the game is the 30% longer, but that is not the big talking point..
the big points are the Big advertising opportunities
at 1/4 and 3/4 time, along with Half time which is almost double of the NRL.

Yep. Up from 7 last year. That should increase their ratings a little.

Regional NSW and QLD are huge, i think in time we will see a changing of the guard.

and a national foot print of tv ratings will change as National than the current 5 city metro

regional NSW is bigger and worth more than W.A
regional QLD is bigger and worth more than S.A

but only the 5 cities are highlighted. (its just stupid)
