What is going on with Channel 10 and Sportstonight?!?!
Every night this week I have tuned in to watch there sports report and I am amazed at the complete disdain they are treating the Rugby League with!
I mean it is THE NRL Grand Final, the MOST watched TV programme on the Eastern seaboard of Australia.
Monday night I watched in anticipation of a saturation coverage of the up coming GF, what do we get instead....news about Manchester City losing at home!!(f**king what?), some sorry bullshit about some Hawthorn homo going to Carlton (My god!!) ..after shaking my head and composing myself thinking.."It's OK, the NRL is surely next"..... But no..some complete dribble about the next round of the V8's.. Nothing on league until later in the bulletin.
The next night all they can be bothered showing is the Roosters open training run. Nothing from the Panthers.
I understand Ten have a contract to show the AFL but f**k me.... the AFL is over, if anybody cares.
The sooner the NRL broker a proper multi-channel free-to-air TV deal the better. I think it is up for renewal at the end of 2005 so negotiations may start towards the end of next year.
But in the mean time give ten and seven a wide berth, between the two they are trying to choke RL.
Between that overgrown homo Koshy on Sunrise, doing his best to clean Eddie Jones arse crack with his tongue, and Matt "Best mates with AFL HOMO Rove McManus" they are eliminating all editorial space for the league.
HAve the AFL and Union come to an agreement where they combine their efforts to squash RL alltogether?
Think about it, AFL want to own the Australian landscape because frankly they will never ever have an international competition. Rugby Union want to have 100% of the domestic Rugby market and no competition internationally.
Call me paranoid.. I just think both codes and subsequently both channels stink.
