Suck sh!t ch9 and all those haters... you can’t stop RL

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Once they get up and running I'm going to f**k off my tv and just got to as many games as I can each weekend.

Sensitive merkins

Well....who doesn't love a sensitive merkin, I ask you.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Did you watch their first two rounds?

Great point.
However if they were quarantined in Logan they would all be 10-15 kg overweight for the resumption of the season due to the fact every single player would be located near a relative.

Also the term “big warriors forwards” could be used more regularly. Because I feel it’s a heavily under utilized term myself.

did the ceo write a character reference?

That is odd. I received an alert ( for 8:34 p.m. yesterday..Thursday) which was sent by you. When I clicked on it, you were quoting franklin2323.

So there goes the myth that the NRL were 'too ambitious'. Nine were always angling for a better deal.

Disgusting behaviour from ch9, what right do they have to question where the NRL are going to cost cut and how it spends its money. It's even worse when they are going broke themselves. They are doing this to try and save money by cost cutting in an organisation that they don't own.

It's all about the eyeballs.

The NRL should hold onto it at any cost. It is the future and our ticket out from underneath the broadcasters over the next decade.

 

[unforgiven]

Its not for ch9, atm for them it is about cutting as much expenditure from the NRL to save ch9 money. What world are they living in?

 

[Spot On]

Ch 9 CEO is a smart lad.

NRL should hire him.

I'd consider giving them the rights for a few years for outrageous amounts of money except that nine would intend to kill it. Which would mean long term it is valueless. So yep, no deal.

Well, he has a point. There obviously needed to be cuts pre Covid. Largesse was freaking out of control.

See Greenburgler's salary and bonus structure as exhibit A.

70 staff working on digital. 15 mill a year to operate it.

Post Covid, take a razor to the joint.

I suspect he is aiming higher than being employed by the NRL.

Some interesting detail in the article about who wants to control the money, and the game.

If Michael Chammas and the Brisbane Times (owned by Nine Publishing, ftr) are right, Fox may be the big losers in this.

Well who'd have thought.

A disgrace.

Now we know why Smith, Grant, Greenberg etc have been driven out of the game it's all in the article.

Nine want the digital arm, as do Fox. Nine are telling the clubs they will direct money into them.

It's a f'n joke.

Now the Digital arm is profitable...didn't give our previous leaders any credit for that.

V'landys will cave in he doesn't want the heat our previous leaders coped. Who the hell are Nine to tell us how to spend OUR money. Does the AFL cop the same treatment from their broadcasters. No!!! They don't.

The real people running rugby league are the media sadly I can't see it changing.

In reality they ran a smear campaign against Greenberg and most of the public swallowed it up....disgraceful.

That's where the growth is. It also gives league it's independence to negotiate in future, why do you think Fox and Nine are so desperate for it.

 

[T-Boon]

The NRL should tell Nine to stop its bitching and open its books to the NRL plus provide an explanation why they cant broadcast sports the way Seven does. Maybe the NRL should offer to buy Nine.

Exactly, V'landys needs to earn his money get through this crisis and F them off. They are a leach on the game. Channel 10 were partners back in the day, nine are just parasites.
