If that was the case the Roosters would have won premierships through those years then if you are implying corruption was taking place.Dragonssuppoorter,
If you cast your memory back to the mid 90’s when Artherson and Quale were running the league , corruption towards Arthursons Manly and Quales Roosters were a fundelmental reason why Super League got the support it received.
25 years on I can see similarities with the Channel 9 backed Roosters and the NewsLimited/ Foxtel backed Storm.
The amount of betting organisations involved with the game at the moment is also reason to believe that corrupt activities are rampant throughout the NRL. Every second commercial is from a betting organisation!!!!!
I don't think Rupert League was about that it was about pay TV.
The ARL comp was far and away a better comp than the Rupert League one although i did find it strange that Channel 9 showed both comps notwithstanding the off field TV/Pay TV Broadcast rights battle going on between Packer and Murdoch.
You would have thought Rupert League would have been broadcast on a different channel than channel 9.
