Talking Footy

No it's not the end of it, because it says that "The NRL chief executive, David Gallop, has indicated he may unbundle the various properties for sale".

Has indicated? What does that prove? The CEO has no say in the TV deal. That will be up to the independant commission, correct? And what if Channel 9 refuse to allow this "unbundling" (because it will cost them State of Origin for sure as Fox Sports will be keen on that at least). I expect them to knock it on the head.

PS - I shall ignore that PS on the grounds of enarelle's clear lack of cultural knowledge and understanding.

Topper thank you for being totally consistent and as always totally ignoring the facts.

Disappointed you will not be providing more information on the "unique" demographics of the aboriginal people.

You are the one ignoring the facts, enarelle, not me. Fact - the State of Origin and all other representative games are run by the ARL and not the NRL. They are two seperate organisations. Gallop has nothing to do with the ARL. So there has to be two seperate TV deals, and Channel 9 own the ARL deal and will do until it expires. They will hold them to it, even after the independant commission is formed.

I see no point elaborating on the Aboriginal culture when you are obviously a racist (a singular natural follow on from the lack of cultural knowledge and understanding).

Its really funny because based on the quote provided by Cooee, David Gallop seems to think he has same say over SOO and TV rights both now and in the future. You better give him a call and set him straight.

With regards to the aboriginal question why dont you just admit that saying all aboriginals are/were born in the NT is totally inaccurate as opposed to the desperate play the racism card to escape scrutiny

Gallop is an arrogant fool who you RL fans should be pulling down of his perch for his ignorance of the threat the AFL poses.

And all full blood Aborigines were born in the Northern Territory. There will never be any admission otherwise because the statement is treu and correct, and to contradict it is racist as per what I said previously.

He won't.

800k, here we come!

But Gallop also thinks he's getting 1.4 billion, he's an imbecile.

Laughable isn't it.

Funniest part is most throwball fans believe it. You ever read an article from Roy Masters?

Why are we talking about TV deals in a thread about memberships.

Surely there is a suitable thread around for that discussion.

You'll find it was you lot that brought up tv ratings when you lot got smashed on the question of fudged membership numbers in the NRL. Typical pathetic tactic of NRL supporters when undisputable facts are put in front of them.

I believe Topper brought up TV ratings when he couldn't find any sources of membership number fudging occurring in the NRL.

It exists because everything else is altered. It's in the culture. That's all the evidence that is required.

It seems amazing and almost redundant that they keep score in AFL games because the numbers/data dont seem to matter.

They matter to the AFL because here at least there are no altered figures.

White flag by the rl set on this one.
