    The NRL radio rights thread

    2GB paid $1million dollars for 3 years and did not prevent any stations from broadcasting Monday nights. The NRL awarded the exclusive Monday rights to MMM. The ABC is allowed to call teams from outside Sydney into their local areas on Monday nights. Last Monday ABC broadcast MNF to North...

    The NRL radio rights thread

    The major reason there's only 2 radio stations calling the game is because there's insufficient broadcast facilities for any more than 2 radio stations. Even ANZ is limited to 3 boxes at best.

    2GB, TripleM and ABC renew Radio rights

    The biggest problem is the lack of broadcast boxes at the grounds. Most grounds can only accommodate 2 radio calls. From what I am told the only interested parties were 2GB, the ABC and MMM. Everyone knew the rights were up for renewal at then end of this season. 4TO couldn't find any space at...

    ABC Radio or TV must broadcast NSW Cup games next season

    There is absolutely no chance of NSW Cup being broadcast on ABC radio. The AFL has the timeslot well and truly locked away. The NSWRL would have to come up some amazing data to convince the ABC to change its mind even if it can. The AFL contract is locked away for another couple of years I...

    ABC Grandstand NSW needs RL talk on a sat arvo

    While there is no LIVE NRL on Saturday afternoon the ABC will not even contemplate dropping the AFL. The AFL is a national broadcast and the ABC powerbase in Victoria would need an incredible prod to suggest it not continue into NSW, Qld. and ACT. Its a disgrace but sadly after 8 years it won't...

    SBW will not play again this year

    Who cares. He hasn't had a decent game since the first half of the opening game in 2005. He didn't last 80 minutes that night and hasn't looked like playing 80 minutes since. He is dead set the most over rated player ever. He should play AFL. They will kill him in French rugby union...

    21,818.

    The major problem in Sydney is that "sitting at home" watching the game live on TV has become the very easy option. Hardly anyone likes going to Homebush because it's so hard to get to and why would anyone battle the elements / traiffic on Friday night after work or on Saturday night at 7pm...

    TV deal short-changes NRL, says Crowe

    Can someone tell me how to jack up the price for the free to air rights if ONLY Channel 9 wants them? As it stands at the moment neither 7 or 10 could afford anything more than the overpriced AFL rights. The NRL could get less if 9 is the only player .. and that is possible.

    Clubs wrong about Lyon

    The rules are explicit. Jamie Lyon cannot refuse to play rep football unless he has prior approval from the ARL. If he refuses to play, and that hasn't been totally qualified yet, the League has every right to tell Manly he is ineligible to play against Newcastle. There are precedents where...

    Tuning into ABC Grandstand

    ABC does have the streaming rights and broadcasts nearly every match via the internet. Sadly if you're after Rugby League on Saturday afternoon the ABC doesn't begin its Rugby League coverage until 5pm. ABC radio is run from Melbourne so you guessed it AFL is broadcast the length and breadth...

    ABC radio calling AFL

    David Morrow will tell you he feels a bit like Custer at times. No chance against the Southern indians. David loves the League but his hands are tied. He and the Wok are often seen sitting together at the Pagewood Hotel watching the League when they should be calling a game somewhere.

    Middle third

    The middle third is not new. Warren Ryan invented the saying and was using it when coaching more than 30 years ago.

    NRL need to organise the pre season

    Remember the AFL plays only 22 competiton games before the finals .... we play 25 plus for the very best 3 State of Origin games and a Test match. I went to the Federation Cup match last night and really enjoyed it even though the Roosters were at full strength in the 1st half and the Tigers...

    When you read through the list there is every chance Steve Walters will be the hooker in the team of the century.

    About the current TV rights deal

    No there isn't a clause which says the Broncos, Cowboys or Titans have to play on a Friday night every week, but Channel 9 has the right to allocate the Friday night games which in its opinion will maximise the ratings in each state. So it stands to reason 9 thinks one of the 3 Qld. clubs will...

    About the Cowboys home final next week

    The NRL tonight were saying if Melbourne wins on Sunday the Parramatta v Canterbury game would be at 8pm on Saturday night and the Cowboys v Warriors game would be on Sunday at 4pm.

    David Fa'alogo

    We've seen 2 acts of thuggery this year both by Souths players. Thugs such as Lowe and Fa'alogo should be rubbed out of the game. He won't get 10 weeks but it's what he deserves for being being a dumb selfish thug. As for the gutless Cummins ??? How many weeks should he get ????

    Furious Singo slams Knights

    The story is written by that fool Rothfield so he can continue his 20 year tirade against Brian Smith. It's another Rothfield beat up which has no relevance to the Newcastle issue. Can't believe Singo would be worried about 2 million nor can I believe the ad will cost him 2 million. I would...
