It has to be asked again, now that they will soon not be owning the entire competition.
What has happened at News of the World phone hacking scandal is very similar to Melbourne Storm scandal.
Senior News Ltd officials get asked: "You are ultimately in charge of your employees - does the buck stop with you?" Answer - "No, the employees do what they like and if (and only if) someone external catches them out, we'll sack them, but internally there is nothing we need to do to tell our employees how to function".
Given that News Ltd senior officials seem to deny any responsibility for corporate governance, how can they own an NRL club?
And even though the NRL doesn't take well to accusations of bias, how can News Ltd be trusted NOT to turn a blind eye to officials making decisions which favour the Broncos, for example, when as an organisation they turned a blind eye to the phone hacking of murder victims in the UK? (...as they did in Australia to letting their money get spent on salary cap rorting at the Storm).
How many strikes do News Ltd need before they are seen as an organisation which is not fit to be trusted with team ownership?
