bring back arko and quale

[Mr Saab]

mate id tell you about my social life but you wouldnt believe it.

being unmarried means i have time for the net plus going out quite a bit.

but hey you keep trying to avoid the thread, good SL boy.

Your social life consists of talking to shazzas and kezzas at Minto RSL talking about the good ole days of the NSWRL.
Avoid the thread? Talking about something that happened when Paul Keating was in power? Whats the point. It happened, you cant change that.
But hey, why dont you write a letter to the education dept insisting that they create a new subject for the school curriculum....."ARL vs SL"
Heck, you can even teach it in all the schools

dopey the thread is about arko and quayle.

what a lunatic

How do I put people on IGNORE?

 

[Mr Angry]

your breakaway almost broke the game.

haha, mine got to like that.

But since then players are paid far more.

The guys who produce the product get more from it.

How evil.

yes the ARL would not have gotten TV rights to increase off the back of a 20 team competition.

I don't think it's the topic Dally. You bitching on in here will do nothing to change what has happened no matter what side of the fence you sit on. it will take far greater minds than yours to solve the problems of rugby league. To suggest only SL is responsible for the state of the game is short sighted. There were many problems before SL and expansion back in those days would have faced the same problems as today. There is no point being a bleating heart about the past, look to the future. I will agree that the NRL has to do a far better job on getting a better deal for ALL clubs. It is ridiculous the NRL is getting less pay TV cash than AFL when NRL is clearly the bread winner for Pay TV

well when you have the same group that owns the company bidding for the rights also owns a share in the game, what do you expect to get.

i wonder exactly how that situation came to be?

oh yeah thats rights, SL.

thanks for that.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Jesus Dally, do you have a life or are you just a boring angry horrid young man? Seriously Dally. I agree the situation has to be resolved on TV rights and if the current NRL leadership don't have the balls, then it need new leadership. I dont think Arko is the answer. maybe Doust will be looking for a job soon. He could get Crowe in to help negotiate...shyte a Pay tv deal with a get out clause and punch ups in the board room. Well my still be better than now

simple question, do you think with news ltd owning 50% of RL their company PMG media or foxsports will pay the correct value for the tv rights.

like it or not thats because of SL.

f**ken oath im angry, im sick of RL getting ripped off. im sick of players like tuqiri, rogers, sailor and gasnier leaving for an inferior sport.

I would like to think that with the right people taking the right approach News Ltd will have to see that unless they pay the right money they won't have much of a product to sell on Pay TV. What has been happening with players heading to ESL and Union just may help to make them see they need to be injecting fair and reasonable capital to protect their investment or sell their 50% rather than watch that investments value decrease dramatically. In the end they wont be able to have their cake and eat it to. They may have had a good old run with it up until now but I think having their cake and eating it to is coming to an end.

 

[Dogs Of War]

I wouldn't bother Miller, dally is like a broken record, just plays the same tune over and over.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Hey its all good Dogs. I understand his position and agree something has to be done. I just don't agree the good old days were necessarily really the good old days. What has happened can't be changed, time to look to the future .

you would think news ltd would want to protect their shareholding wouldnt you.

look at their papers, any chance to talk RL down its there.

your post seems to agree pretty much for the need of people independant of news ltd in negotiating our tv deals.

news ltd will always pay the least they can and we need proper leaders who will be prepared to take it elsewhere if they dont

 

[butchmcdick]

news ltd made up a theory about Arko only looking after manly to get control of the game.

once they got it, they ensured that the TV rights were cheap.

which is worse for you, manly getting a couple of extra penalties in some games or the game losing out on around $100 million pa.?

bullsh*t news made up a theory about arko only looking after manly.

If you were actually old enough to remember the game pre super league you would be able to see what an absolute tool you have become.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Well there you go Dally, we found common ground! I agree with you

how many comps did manly win when Arko was boss of the game?

maybe Arko was really a broncos fan as they won more than anymore else.

 

[Frailty]

Poor Dally forgetting that the NRL pretty much gifted Optus and Packer the TV rights for very little...

But of course Super League was the only ones who damaged the game, and not the amateur administrators of the ARL and the clubs. And let's forget the ARL didn't run the game for 100 years.

Not too mention the ARL expanded those 4 teams in 1995 in response to the threat of Super League... But hey ARL was for expanding the game, even if it meant letting the clubs fall apart (i.e. such as forcing the Reds to pay for the flights of the away sides travelling to Perth - before they signed with SL).

Can we just accept it's happened? We need News Ltd out of the game now, and some passionate, INDEPENDANT and PROFESSIONAL businessmen running the game.

What two??? 92 and 93?

That makes no sense.

What Do You Think Made Manly Bankrupt, Manly Saved The Arl, If They Had Of Gone To Superleague The Arl Would Of Died, Fast.
