Talking Footy

Why are rl flogs taking credit for other countries performances in a Northern English game's event.
Nobody in Australia cares much about this game so why should people get excited about conditions outside of Australia. It's definitely not Australia's WC so what's the fuss about?

At least the AFL International Cup is about the Australian game of Australian Football and the IC is played in Australia every three years and benefits Australia directly.

its funny because they are talking up how much the game has grown. League originated out of England & union is big there, at least half of the union followers, will like League as well. so of course it will get half decent attendances,

Awww, someone's feeling blue.

:**** :****

& how do you know NOBODY IN AUSTRALIA cares about it.
Doing some more of this are we.

No that's you, Dave, because Seven are hiding it on 7mate because they know it won't rate!

why would they buy it in the first place then?

Because government rules tell the FTA networks to show it. They don't have a choice. Seven were the only ones who decided to say Yes and then hide it away.

ahhhhh
the RLWC is not on the Govt's anti syphoning list you dribbling tool
plus
Ch 7 didn't even buy the RL rights in the first place , so how could the Govt force them to televise something they didn't have the rights to here in Australia exactly you ********* shit for brains
CH 7 sought the rights ...& paid for them as they saw value in them

put this down as 1479 times this fuckwit has been wrong ... on these pages

so then RLWC crowds should stay aproximately constant, but this one will smash every single record by probably more than 100k indicating growth. pretty tired right now but i'm pretty sure no RLWC has broken 300k. We are at what, 235k with more group matches to play. And obvious 75k sellout for the final which should break the ALL TIME attendance record for an international RL match. And Wembley could break the union attendance record in the UK (90k capacity needs to beat 83k) that's a big maybe though, depends on whos playing as well.

ive never disputed that NRL is not big international, i dispute, the fact that all of the league fans are getting over excited buy it. the RLWC has been successful to some degree, but the true success of it is to see how its popularity, results flow down to the club and local comps

Read what RD wrote about the Govt & anti-siphoning list.

The more you post the more I am sure you are 10 yrs old.

ALL representative sport for Australia is on it, you goose! STFU!

Wrong for about the 1,00,000,000,000 time.

Summary Points of the Government's announcement
•a new two-tier anti-siphoning list, comprising an A-list of “iconic” events such as Grand Finals, cricket test matches, the Melbourne Cup and Bathurst 1000, which must be shown live and in full by free-to-air broadcasters on their main channel, and a B-list of events that can be broadcast on digital multichannels and with up to 4 hours’ delay;
•FTA networks will be required to show Tier A events live and in full while events on Tier B must also be shown in full and commence within four hours. Currently there are no requirements for coverage of events;
•use it or lose it provisions will require FTA networks to use the rights they acquire or offer them to other broadcasters under new “must-offer” rules - if no other FTA broadcaster takes up those rights the broadcasting rights must be offered to subscription TV;
•an extension to the automatic delisting period from 12 to 26 weeks (and up to 52 weeks for AFL and NRL), freeing up the sale of rights to listed events that free-to-air broadcasters have no interest in;
•an extension of the list to new media including IPTV or other online service providers;
•the new rules were expected to remove from the list those AFL and NRL games that currently screen exclusively on subscription TV. Before this removal occurs, however, the Government plans to introduce a mechanism to protect the quality of the games on FTA;
•the implementation of the changes requires amendment to the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.

Doesn't prove me wrong.
