Haven't posted for a while so I thought I'd get back on the horse. Here's my suspicion re the Rorters cap particularly why the media don't seem to really pursue the story with the same vigour of say a few initials on some strapping. My guess is that many of their 3rd party deals are too closely associated with 9 and Fox to be genuinely fair. Both broadcasters pay handsomely for the rights, but generate the revenue to pay for those rights through advertising and subscriptions generated by fans of ALL 16 clubs. These deals are likely compliant and what's more , they free up cap space. But other clubs may feel that a portion of the revenue paying for these deals are being generated through their efforts. So the media play it down a bit like not letting your mates in on the free stuff you get from the shop your best mate owns. That's where Uncle Nick comes into his own. These 3rd party arrangements probably should be in a pool for all clubs to use because they are all contributing. The donkeys would be the masters of this game and are wildly overexposed on free to air. Fire at will.
