    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    Alan jones said Rebecca Wilson should be NRL CEO, nut job with a pulpit, scary shit. http://www.4bc.com.au/news/shed-make-a-hell-of-a-fist-running-the-game-of-rugby-league-20151022-gkgifu.html

    Next TV rights deal

    Smith was going this year anyway, he was probably always leaving after the tv deal.

    Next TV rights deal

    simulcasting and a saturday night game is not worth $65m a year. simulcasting is supposed to reduce Nine's deal by at most $25m a year. There's no way in hell a sat night game is worth $40m a year to Nine.

    Wellington and Fiji bids combine as the 'South Pacific Cyclones'

    seems half pregnant imo, not sure Wellington would embrace it.

    plan for live-streaming highlights sport’s uncertain digital future

    it can be outsourced, the company doing the video ref bunker could produce games, i don't see it happening for a long, long time, if ever.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    I'm not suggesting they choose the CEO, I am saying they should be included in the process of narrowing down a list of candidates that would then go to the commission to interview & pick from. It's a small thing, but the ARLC has to start bridging the disconnect between them & the clubs, they...

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    The ignorant Victorians probably got mixed up with him wanting to coach Australia again.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    the same idiot who talked up the AFL's handling of the ASADA stuff while bagging the NRL, pass.

    Why does Rugby League endlessly shoot itself in the foot?

    non-broadcast revenue has grown 48% in three years, just last year sponsorship increased by 12% ($3m).

    Next TV rights deal

    The NBN is really the only thing holding it up from being a reality, all TV's these days are 'smart' & internet ready, it's just a matter of creating an App for pubs & clubs. The future of all TV is digital, programming will be interactive & linked into your social media accounts. All...

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    Clubs should be represented on the commission sub comittee appointing the new CEO, they should own some of the responsibility for the appointment so they haven't got excuses when they inevitably turn on them and try to white ant them. The game desperately needs more unity.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    What about David Leckie? That would be funny, people thought Smith was a hard nut and arrogant, Leckie would make Gallen sound like a choir boy.

    Next TV rights deal

    I think that would be only marginally more appealing than Nine keeping it. Fox want Super Saturday exclusive, as it stands they will in all likelihood get it. Not sure what that means for 4 games on FTA, unless expansion is green-lighted.

    Next TV rights deal

    Apparently Australian law doesn't rate this globalisation fade and we live in a bubbles made up of no more than 75% of the population. We already know the 2/3 rule means nothing anymore with News Corp effectively now having control over Nova, Ten, most of print & foxtel. I haven't seen it...

    Next TV rights deal

    fox were never up against FTA networks for the remaining games, ch9 don't want them & under the terms of the deal with Nine I doubt that the NRL would be able to sell the rest to another FTA network, not that another FTA network could afford it anyway.

    Next TV rights deal

    The ACCC have a high regard for the integrity of Lachlan Murdoch, I don't have the same faith in the co-executive chairman of News Corp to not collude with the News Corp 50% owned Foxtel & 100% owned Fox Sports in the bidding for sports rights. Maybe that's just me... It's the sort of...

    Next TV rights deal

    The ACCC have approved Foxtel's stake in Ten.

    Why does Rugby League endlessly shoot itself in the foot?

    One of Smiths biggest problems was he didn't own the agenda, which left a void that all the other voices in the game filled, primarily the telegraph. The next guy has to be more visible & accessible, he has to be the first guy quoted, not the last. You can't blame fans for being ignorant on...
