    Telstra mobile NRL deal collapses

    I see this as a good move. The NRL wanted actual real cash money for providing this valuable content, contrary to previous years when Telstra expected it for free, and Gallop stood up for the NRL's financial interest. It's a nice little sign for the upcoming rights negotations that Gallop has...

    2010 Crowd Watch

    Yes, women attend footy, but they're not all going out on Saturday night as well. A lot of them are mothers who are staying in with or without their kids. Or they've only got enough budget for a day at the footy, not a night out as well. As for kids sports... aren't many of them well finished...

    2010 Crowd Watch

    tbh that's a pissweak excuse. Does it take you all day to get ready to go down the Cross, Timmah? Wait, that may be a leading question. :D

    Melbourne to be in the top 3 average crowd attendance in 2010

    Melbourne third last in home average last year. Needs to pull 19k to beat the Titans out of third. 24k at Etihad today is a good start.

    a question for those bagging nine for not showing league live in melbourne

    Newsflash, the Swans get two to three times the crowds of the Storm and they don't rate all that much in Sydney either. That doesn't mean you give up on the market altogether. Gallop has to harden up and force the networks to show league in RL to build the support and viewership. It's a...

    a question for those bagging nine for not showing league live in melbourne

    To answer the OP in more detail: the commercial decision that others are talking about is Nine deciding to try to capture the female demographic on the night. A certain percentage of mostly male, some female viewers will watch football of some code or another, but there is a minority of mostly...

    All Fair and Above Board.....NOT!!!

    Yep Iafeta, I wasn't insinuating anything re handouts. I was thinking of another thread last month noting that the TV rights revenue from NZ is double that of the expenses of the Warriors, thus even if the Warriors run at a loss, they benefit the NRL in toto by existing.

    All Fair and Above Board.....NOT!!!

    Just try and kill the Storm and then ask for more money from the TV networks. They would laugh you out of the boardroom. Just as the Warriors are worth investing in to increase overall broadcast revenue from NZ, the loss on the Storm's operations is more than made up by TV contracts. Also...

    Loving it: the fumbleball writers are expressing concern

    Sheedy talks a humongous amount of crap. He has only gotten away with it in Victoria because he coaches for Essendon, who are a big rich club with good recruiting, and he's won flags. Non-Essendon supporters thought he was essentially harmless. The problem in GWS is that he doesn't start with...

    I wasn't skiting. I'm not a GC member. Or a member of anything, actually. Except the local gym.

    2010 Memberships

    Titans have 5500, hmm... I read in the Australian today that Gold Coast FC already have 4000 members, even though they're only playing in an AFL juniors comp this year. :o

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

    This is a very different process to what was advertised. Sounds like the clubs have barely any input into the procedures. I wonder, does this placate the likes of ECT?
