NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

[chigurh]

Crawley was literally beaming when he said 'more drama for Rugby League'

Why would Freddy or anyone else show the moron any respect?

Crawley is quoting Wilson who is quoting Kent who is quoting Rothfield who is quoting Hooper - so basically Rupert has created his own human Centipede of morons.

Tough way to earn a coin.

Chook.

Best post ever - I'm stealing your "human centipede of morons" line

Good on you Freddy,

I personally would like to see more of theses so called Journo's being called out printing editorials that have less credible information than a Famous magazine cover story ... Also as other have suggested id love to see Rugby League completely black ball all news limited organisations... lets see how many people click on AFL stories in NSW and QLD when that's all they have to report on...

Add your voice to the crowd and call 'em out yourself as well.

You can let a lot of these "journo's" know exactly what you think about on twitter with some reasonable assurance they'll read it.

Hooper knew he was trading in any journalistic integrity he had when he ran his story over the weekend. He'll put on a brave face and make it look like he's breaking some important story, but everyone in the office knows he drew the shortest draw and was forced to do his master's bidding.

I'm sure that every tweet he receives reminding him of that stings a little, so I won't be letting up on that streak of shit.

I imagine the shit tastes the same going in as it does coming out.

The realm of public opinion seems in the NRL's favour, just need more outlets for the public to make their voices heard. Thought we had one in MMM but they're taking the News Ltd c**k.

#humancentipedeofmorons

Someone with some graphic design skills needs to turn that into a meme.

I think that very neatly encapsulates exactly what they are.

Can't post it right now but ninemsn is reporting that up to 250000 fox subscribers are likely to cancel or reduce their subscriptions dur to netflix etc. The article declares it's own interests in relation to this which is more than the news limited hacks are. Rupert needs nrl

Surely Murdoch will buy into the whole streaming service thing? If he hadnt already...

People are saying foxtel is an out of date medium. Surelt a media mgul would be investing in future media?

The IQ3 was supposed to merge cable/satellite and streaming services but it has so far proven to be a buggy piece of shit. I had a subcontractor replacing one of my STBs tell me in no uncertain terms to stay the f**k away from it.

This game was brought to its knees with the super league war, if ole rupert believes he can do it again he is senile.

If he creates an another rebel comp he wont win shite because the horse will be dead and we all know what flogging a deadhorse get you.

Not to mention the logic of "We won't spend $400M for 4 games a week for 5 years", but happen to be on the hook for multi-billions of dollars for 20 years in starting and funding 5 games a week?

How the f**k does that make financial sense??

It makes precisely zero sense when you also consider the new deal they are negotiating would include simulcast rights giving them 8 live games a week.

 

[insert.pause]

Best case scenario for fox seems to be getting Ten to buy the Saturday game from Nine and then have Ten simulcast Fox Sports Saturday coverage, but with ads on FTA. That maintains foxsports super Saturday without the dirty feed from nine and allows Foxtel to collect some of the ad revenue from the FTA broadcast through its tie up with MCN.

I told Foxtel to stick it up their clacker last year, maybe every league fan should do the same and say "we aint coming back, rebel league or not, you yankee bit of shit".

I haven't had it for years.

You seriously don't need it to watch every game live, legally or not.
