    Nine dumps Wimbledon to chase AFL

    Realistically, crowds and TV attendances are fairly static from year to year in both sports. Oscillations of a couple of percent don't mean much, despite all the angst over a few thousand here or there in the crowds thread. There are two things that have changed the state of the industry in...

    ATO to look at NRL

    Hard to believe the word of a man called Rudd in the current political climate. :)

    Nine dumps Wimbledon to chase AFL

    If Nine wants to pay extra to play it on Monday, then dollars are going to talk despite the problems with crowds. How do you think it got up in rugby league? All of this talk is worthless until after that anti-siphoning decision anyway.

    Storm Rorts Report

    Whoever it was that leaked it, the truth was that Deloittes was complicit in an "investigation" that had no confidentiality in it at all, so the players were not compelled to speak to Deloittes because they knew their words would appear in the papers the next day for the benefit of News Ltd...

    Storm Rorts Report

    There's a difference between a lack of confidentiality in terms of what goes into the report, and what was happening at Deloitte, which was that the juiciest morsels were being fed straight through to the Telegraph for sensationalist tabloid articles, one after the other. Far from clearing their...

    RL independence day arrives - NRL Independent Commission announced for November 1

    What a sad indictment on Sydney culture. I say Sydney, because it worked in Melbourne, so why can't it work in Sydney? Having lived there myself and see how it works, I understand such cynicism. If you're right, ECT, then no structure is going to work in rugby league, including having the ARL...

    Inglis off to the Broncos???

    The way it's going the Storm will field four players in every game next season. Fair to say there might be some holes in the defence.

    NRL chief executive declares GWS has two years to avoid failure

    I seem to recall the Storm had success in its first two years, but that hadn't helped them grow their crowds before this year when they moved to Swan St. So much of the fast growth on an expansion franchise is reliant on good stadium deals which encourage families to come in droves for a decent...

    RL independence day arrives - NRL Independent Commission announced for November 1

    I don't agree with ECT's conclusions, but I can't fault him for making them in the absence of a public proposal for a constitution. The longer the league holds the drafts in-house, the more political points the anti-IC crowd can accumulate with opportunistic rants like this. Surely there must be...

    2010 Crowd Watch

    The NFL has very little to teach rugby league. Different circumstances.

    Gasnier Official

    4.5 years? Does that mean he can play immediately? With all that money, he should go out and put a deposit on a boat.

    QRL calls for Titans financial inquiry

    The naked political agenda here is remarkable. Livermore and Searle have been butting heads over the IC, so Livermore chooses his moment when Searle is overseas to fit him up with a nothing story over bad debts of chicken feed amounts. Seriously, $25k? It's a joke. This story should be given no...

    RL independence day arrives - NRL Independent Commission announced for November 1

    1-3) I agree that the constitution creation process has suffered from a complete lack of transparency. This is probably the biggest valid criticism that can be leveled against IC proponents at the moment. I do wish the NRL would get off its arse on this issue and release something, anything, for...

    You're a shining example of rugby league culture at its finest Tommy, what more can I say.

    If you don't mean it, Tommy, why do you say it? You're not normal.

    No, nothing like that. We have a disagreement over copyright.

    I'm a bit different. I'm even more disreputable than a journalist these days. The AFL hates me, that's all that's relevant here.
