RL independence day arrives - NRL Independent Commission announced for November 1

[Green Machine]

HE WORKED FOR THE COMPANY THAT CAUSED THE WAR YOU genius. He was a f**king News Ltd lawyer. And even then he had NOTHING to do with pulling the game out of the war. Nothing. He was handed the CEO job to work as News Ltd puppet and that's what he has done. He works for News Ltd. He always has.

Rugby league is in the position it is in because of the quality of the game. That's why it was HUGE pre-SL. Was Gallop involved back then? NO, so RL is not as big as it is because of him. It was big before he was even installed by his masters from News. The game is also in the position it's in despite his inept, conflicted administration. Imagine how well it would be doing if the bloke running the game wasn't a puppet of a company that profts from his inability to gain revenue for the sport.

You have shown what an ignorant clown you asre on so many threads now but this proves it beyond any doubt. If you think RL is better off with Gallop as NRL CEO you are a certifiable moron. Anyone with half a brain knows full well that he only has the job to serve News Ltd's purposes. Otherwise he would never have gotten the job in the first place, he would never have it now and he would never be guaranteed the job BY NEWS LTD as part of it's not so independent commission demands.

I don’t remember the job being handed to him by News Ltd. From what I recall, the CEO’s and club officials wanted David Moffett gone and they talked Gallop into taking the job,

Have you ever worked at a fast food outlet? lets say you have (cause i don't think you ever have worked with your attitude and knowledge) and lets say it was at Maccas. Now lets say everytime i go to maccas and they get my order or wrong, or charge me more for it then what it is or i get sick after eating it and i blame you for it. That wouldn't be reasonable would it? yet its the same logical you are using.

Because he USED to work for Newslimited, he is bad. he is bad forever and nothing ever can make him good, there is no way he could ever fall out with newslimited and his whole being is about pleasing newslimited. do you see how stupid this sounds?

yet i'm the genius.



He works for the NRL board, here you are again basically blaming everything bad thing that has happened under him on his shoulders and saying all the good things have come about despite him.

You can't have it both ways, either he is bad for the game and everything under him has gotten worse or it hasnt.



exactly right, but during the SL-war, so many wrongs were done that it didn;t matter how good of quality the sport is. It was going backwards in everything.





That has got to be stupidest line i have ever read on this site (including TFC). Gallop was put in charge after the SL War. At a time where Rugby League was on its knees. He has assisted in getting Rugby League and the NRL to a position where it was before the Super League war.




Rugby League was on its knees after the Super League war. If you think Rugby League was as big as it is now, in the few years after the Super league war then you are incorrect.




Here was go again, blah blah blah. Rugby League is so great despite having a leader that wants to hurt it. Do you really believe this dribble? seriously its ridiculous.

Like i have said, you can't have it both ways. League has grown under Gallop's leadership. It is bigger now then it was at the start of Gallops leadership.

If you think Gallop is responsible for every single thing that has gone bad, then you must also credit him for every little single thing that went right. Instead, you defy logic and state the game grew despite him.

You are like a child that blames everything else when things don't go right but takes all the credit when it does. For the slow posters, in this analogy the everything else is Gallop and child is the Rugby League.

Look, Rugby League is a great sport but with leadership of which you describe there is no way in hell it could of grown at the rate it did.




Imagine how bad the game would be if the game didn't grow after the Super League like it has under his leadership.



And here we go, so often when you start to have doubt over your point or your argument you turn to insults. It really is not needed and puts a stain on your point.

Although this has been brought up to you many times in the past and you continue to post what best can be described as dribble. So i have no doubt that you will fall back onto this again. Rest asure, it has no effect on me.



You do realise that the clubs wanted Gallop to stay on as leader after the control of the game is handed to the independent commission don't you? The only thing that was up for argument was how long he should stay on. The clubs want a one year deal to see how he goes under the new structure and news limited wanted longer.

That is for the powers at be to decide, not a university student on a forum site on his day off.

He still works for News Ltd you muppet. He worked for them DURING Super League when News Ltd was destroying the game. and he's continued to work for them ever since. You do know News owns half the NRL don't you? So when Fox Sports (owned by News) negotiates with Gallop (employed by News) there is a conflict involved? Do you realise this at all? WHY DO YOU THINK NEWS LTD WANT HIM TO STILL BE CEO FOR FIVE MORE YEARS? You f**kcing clown.

BDGS = News Ltd stooge

BDGS = Blows David Gallop Slowly

A grade ass clown.

Now this surely has to be against this site rules, these post add nothing to the discussion and are just insults. Obviously the reasons for the insults are because of an lack of argument but still, none the less.

Even if i am wrong, as apart of being an free-Australian, aren't i'm entitled to express any opinion i like without ridicule? despite that opinion correctness or incorrectness?

How funny are these two statements.

Every friggin TV deal will be a record TV deal from here on in. We'd be in a lot of strife if we went backwards you drip!!

Our TV ratings have been better than the AFL's for a while now, this is not just a recent phenomenon. Great to know isn't it. Shame we don't get the same TV money as the 'other' code. I wonder why?? Cue the Gallop photo.

3 years ago the NRL passed the AFL yearly TV ratings and there one has held dominance over that.

research, your kids still doing your signature? ha

What part of "the NRL could be doing a lot better" do you not get?

What part of "the NRL could also be doing a lot worse" do you not get?

Using logic only brings the pack to started using insults. Be careful.

Yeah, right. I bet News Ltd was dead against it too. Just like they're so dead against it they want to guarantee him the job for five more years REGARDLESS of how he performs. They are so desperate to keep their puppet they have actually gone into negotiations with this as one of their key demands. What are their demands.

Extension of first and last TV rights offer for another 10 years = benefits News Ltd
Guarantee of extra funding for the Storm - benefits News Ltd
Veto rights over commissioners = benefits News Ltd
Five year contract for Gallop = take a guess at their motives for that.

His appointment was endorsed by both NRL partners the ARL and News Ltd today and it is believed all clubs are also happy with the appointment.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

And now the ARL don't want him and News Ltd are going out of their way to keep him. So why would it have been any different back then? He's a News stooge. Always has been. You want proof? TV deal.

 

[Green Machine]

Clubs like Manly and the Roosters may not want him now. That doesn’t make it right that he was just handed the job by News Ltd in 2002,

What part of 'NRL could be doing A LOT better' don't you get?

Why does the NRL operate on the smell of an oily rag???

Now why could that be????

For many year the NRL/ARL has had the bulk of the most watched shows nationally. It's not something new.

Considering what we offer Fox and Channel 9 compared to what the AFL offers their TV partners -WE GET RORTED.

9 get to pick and choose games, fox don't even have to put up with radio coverage in some instances.

The AFL tells the TV networks the schedule at the start of the year.

Yet WE STILL GET RORTED.


Another plus in the reign of your man - players going to other codes.

The ARL have been a lame duck for the much of the NRL period.

You do know that, don't you.

As long as the blazer wearers were allowed roll along their merry way then all was good in the partnership.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

I think its pretty obvious that the ARL are the "bitch" of the marriage.

 

[Perth Red]

Prove it.

There is no proof stating that the NRL had nothing to do with teams playing in those expansion areas i pointed out. Talking to my club, i know the NRL has helped and assisted the club with everyway possible in the bulldogs efforts in Adelaide. They are also a prime reason why the Dogs are now considering taking more then one game to Adelaide from next season onwards.

What EXACTLY have they done? I know the games in Perth were instigated by the WARL approaching the NRL who put the offer out to the clubs, it was then decided upon by Sth's and arranged by Sth's with the WARL's support. The NRL had zero influence, invested no $'s and have done nothing to build on the success of the games. Beyond rubber stamping it and saying it is ok to do it they have done nothing proactive at all.

Anyone who was around at that time knows that the clubs approached Gallop to take over from Moffett. The blazer wearers will be gone soon. I have no problem with the make up of the first Rugby League Commission,

 

[Perth Red]

Leaving the TV deal aside the income of the NRL is still vastly lower than that of the AFL. Why is that if we have such a growth product? AFL clubs generally have a much greater income than NRL clubs. Whatever measure you want to put against it the NRL is generally coming up short compared to our biggest rival. The growth in the game since the Sl war isn't that great, in crowds, income or national profile. In fact if you put it against population growth, CPI etc we are probably static at best.
I agree the game is looking healthy because it has passionate fans a great product on the field and a resillience that it has developed after 100 years of poor administration.

Considering our current results on Pay TV and FTA TV, we are under-paid for our product. But remember the current TV deal wasn't agreed upon this year. It was agreed on in the past using the past figures and going by our figures back then, the deal we signed wasn't as bad as a lot of posters on here will have you believe.

The NRL were looking for some club to replace the one game a year in Adelaide after Sharks pulled out of it. When the Bulldogs held discussions with the NRL about the possibility of taking games to Adelaide the NRL offered all of its assistance. The NRL helps out Canterbury with promotion of the game, we get a cash incentive for taking games there from the NRL (to ensure we don't take a hit financially by expanding the game of Rugby League, which i think Souths get too) and the NRL also helps the club set up events for the local community in Adelaide. Without the NRL, the Bulldogs wouldn't be playing games in Adelaide.

When the AFL were trying to make it that only the AFL and cricket could play on Adelaide Oval (the ground of which is home to the Bulldogs when in Adelaide) the NRl traveled to SA to meet with the government to get assurances that Rugby League and Canterbury are welcomes to play games at the venue into the future.

after 100 years of poor administration.

So we have always had poor administration now?

Geez, better get in that time machine and stop the powers at be which broke away from the game of 'Rugby' in the first place.

Utter garbage.

League has been a top rater for a while now.

Our only draw back has been we've had less games on FTA compared to the AFL.

And I wonder why that's been the case???

News Ltd want him for five years. The ARL AND THE CLUBS only want one year. Funny that.
