manly and roosters have had as much success a Storm and a lot longer to build a fanbase. With tribalism such an important thing they must be well ahead of the storm right? Oh yeh that’s right they’re not. tribalism is nice fuzzy warm thing that gives you an excuse to justify an over saturated situation the game has.
rubbish, storm fans can watch the Ch9 game live on fta just as any fan in any part of te country can these days.
Well looks like we will never know now doesn’t it. Would ch10 have gone hard for rights pushing nine up, would Vlandys trip to USA delivered anything? As it is we are rumoured to have accepted a guaranteed $64million plus less money over next three years and we wont know if the 23-26 deal is better or worse than it might have been.
Let’s seen when the deal is finalised if Vlandys is the man, or yet another dud that’s sold the game short.
Manly do not have 5 million people.Manly do not have a you beaut stadium.Roosters do not have 5 million people and exist in a union .latte sipping area.They have few juniors within their area.
Maybe you should ask yourself what's happened to the Bear's fans ,once their club was flicked.Which other clubs did they go to.You can count them on your hand.Tribalism is following a club and if that club goes they lose that fan base..
It's saturated because it's the base of the code here.It has already had 4 teams merge ,one get the flick, and you in your typical selfish whining ways want more to go, when there are also no guarantees of what a new club in Perth will get long term.We saw how fickle they were when the SL war started with their numbers.
On a secondary channel, and the numbers are SFA for the Storm in Melbourne. When you start getting a production line of juniors entering your first grade side, start bragging.
You see every Sydney NRL club will at least attract far more FTA viewers in Sydney, the major commercial heart of this country.
Your'e the one continually speculating on what the NRL should get, and if they do this it's rubbish.You';re the one bagging negotiations before they have actually been decided.If you look at ch10s programs ,it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know they are running on the smell of an oil rag.
I actually thought CBS (10 owners) would come into the equation.They haven't ,so their were it would appear ,if today's Herald new is anything to go on, they and 7 were never really in the picture.
And it also looks like 9 will not be extending ,their end 2022 deal, so open the champagne ,but you will still whine.
Your last line is rather ironic.I've been saying all along with your negativity ,you jump in before a deal is done, or decision is made with your usual negativity "it wont do this or that, we will get screwed etc etc"Your last line commentary just confirms what I stated.Smith certainly stuffed it up for us at the end, as did Gallop.
Scoop.We are living in times ,a lot of people are comparing with the great depression, if you think we were going to get the same monies or more than we get on current deals, you've been drinking out of the same mug as Trump.
