Announcement is 3 hours late so far, so there must be some sort of disagreement going on. The Nrl will eventually cave in to what news wants.

I just missed something on ABC news 24.... think it was to do with the draw though.

 

[Brutus]

Tell News to f**k off.

Let's hope Optus has come in with an amazing deal too good to refuse.

Presser at 1:15 now... maybe...

Have the NRL sacrificed the required amount of virgins needed to summon Rupert Murdoch to the press release?

 

[Edwahu]

The delay is probably due to three sets of media teams trying to spin a single press release.

My productivity at work is minimal and will stay that way until this deal announced.

This announcement leading straight into the cricket. Nothing is going to get done this arvo

Either that, or one of the groups has disagreed with some part of what their negotiators agreed to.

Straight from a press conference with that Newscorp hunchback with the pink complexion, to the pink ball.

 

[Last Week]

The steam is live on various websites. No one in the room yet for an announcement. Media still setting up.

I agree with you. Expansion would have been terrific and I cannot work out why the NRL have settled for this stupid 6pm pub game.

Fox Sports have been given what they wanted and should have been forced to pay more or concede more.

It all seems a little weak.

Anyway, we'll see what the press conference throws at us.

I just hope the NRL doesn't bow to the clubs. Let's see the entire game of rugby league benefit from the cash.

I don't know enough about the Telstra digital deal to comment on it. The Fox deal seems like a good deal. The Nine deal really irks me though. They should have to pay $625m just for the Origin rights alone. I might be exaggerating but Nine did a great deal in my book

Grant looks deflated, not very convincing tbh.
