So a Murdoch owned network will surrender a game to a Murdoch owned network
And the players have also said they won't play Origin games played only 7 days apart.
It's not enough time to back up and play at that intensity (apparently)...
Like Grant is saying ... Change it at your peril...
The NRL's next TV deal, to begin in 2018, will be the last contract under which viewers will be able to see all games on free-to-air and pay TV, before some games are streamed exclusively on the internet, via mega-rich overseas interests, such as Netflix.
Great. Give the rights to a network that will treat the game worse than the current broadcaster.
Pleased to see people against the 5-day week. Killing the golden goose is not smart
A big factor in the NRL's negotiating has to be HD. Fox Sports has had a mortgage on that for long enough.
Everything else sounds like it's shaping up nicely. Take the television networks to the cleaners because their time is running out.
