Kent may well be accurate on many of those points.Interestingly he ignored the fact CBS (a competitor for Fox in the U.S.A.) had rights to the broadcast of the match to a potential audience not actual of 60m.
Kent is stating the bleeding obvious the U.S market is hard one to even scrape the surface.
SOO in California was a one off.These Denver matches are part of a pre arranged trilogy.There was no RLWC on the horizon when California was involved.It was played on some crappy down market field in California.Denver was on a prestigious Bronco' s field.
There is already a semi pro team in Toronto,another wanting to be involved in New York.How they pan out in the next few years is open to conjecture.
The event AFAIK cost the NRL zilch.In fact Foxtel benefitted with extra content here.
If Kent had his way we'd have a national rugby league in every state ,which is great, and yet SFA Internationals.
Kent hates the NRL admin with a passion, you can hear it in his every comment on NRL 360.And they certainly have their flaws.
Ever since Gallop was given the heave ho,it's open season.
Rarely if ever I heard him have a shot at Gallop in the past and that applies ditto to Rothfield's comments.If you are New's aligned you are a protected species.Perhaps he'll have a comment about Jessica's Halloran's (a News journo), shot at the NRL over the past couple of days.Waiting......
One minute he's a legal expert, the next a financial guru, the next a marketing genius, and the business types at the commission don't have a clue.He's a rugby league /sports' journalist nothing more.
The days of Peter Frilingos and Mike Gibson are long gone unfortunately.Balanced reporting now a novelty.
