Wow I'm shocked by that figure. It does seem like News want to go to war with the NRL.

The tongue fest between Murdoch and McLachlan is f**king foul.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Wow I'm shocked by that figure. It does seem like News want to go to war with the NRL.

This. Looks like News/Fox are going to try and stare down the NRL. Let the fun begin.

They also have the right to on-sell one of their Saturday games each week, which would probably go to Channel 10.

Murdoch nearly destroyed our game with super league
then he made a fortune and built his pay tv network on the back of our game.
Now he pretty much declares war on our game.
I say nrl don't give any games to Foxtel and let it die

Instead of another super league war they are backing the afl to take over qld & nsw.

He definitely said 2.508. Whether he messed up or not....

Rupert: "We've always preferred AFL". Wow.

Fox sports is saying 2.058

They just changed it to 2.508

"Weve always preferred Aussie Rules" Murdoch.

 

[Cletus]

Shining up my dancing shoes for when Rupert carks it.

 

[no name]

Foxtel will crumble if they don't get NRL.
And it will be glooooorius.

 

[cleary89]

Further tweets say 2.058. Sounds like he messed up.

 

[LESStar58]

Rupert and his cronies have been trying to kill us for 20 years.

Bring it on.

 

[LESStar58]

Shining up my dancing shoes for when Rupert carks it.

Ill be the one at his funeral dressed in multi colours and laughing the loudest. 2.05 billion is a lot of coin for a product with limited reach.

 

[NrlCoach]

R.Murdoch just said F**k Rugby League 18/08/2015

 

[LESStar58]

"Weve always preferred Aussie Rules" Murdoch.

Which is why we went after rugby league to build our pay tv service.

I want you to die.
