I can debate, I choose not to with you.
INSIDE OUT - ROY MASTERS said:When Ch 10 reneged on its free to air deal with the then NSWRL, Quayle unsuccessfully attempted to convince cricket, aussie rules, rugby union and soccer to pool funds to establish a sports network. They declined. The NSWRL was forced to offer the free to air rights to the only solvent TV network at the time - Ch 9 - which also inherited the pay TV rights. So much for Quayle being a Packer lackey
ARKO - Ken Athurson Biography said:Back home by then, other factors were emerging. Canberra were later to defend the Super League path they took with the claim that they had reached a final point of frustration with Phillip St over a claimed lack of support in their attempts to hang on to star players Ricky Stuart and Bradley Clyde in the wake of rumoured huge bids from the Kerry Packer - Supported Easts. Les McIntyre and Kevin Neil came to Sydney to see me about it, and express their concerns. They told me of the dilemma they believed they faced - of Easts luring the two players away with offers that were just too huge to refuse. I told them that I wasn't happy about such a situation if it was the case, but there was nothing I could do. It had been ever thus in rugby league, clubs now and then signed players from other clubs, sometimes paying far more money than they should have.
At that meeting something happened which neither Neil or McIntyre could ever deny - they swore they would never participate in a competition which wasn't under the control of the ARL. I'll be frank - I shared their concerns about Stuart and Clyde. Of course, they didn't want to lose two such players. But under the League's rules, what could be done? Our game ran on a free market basis. Neil told me subsequently that he had rung Ken Cowley and Cowley had said to him "Don't worry about it - we'll buy them for you." And that was how News Ltd got the Raiders into the net.

There was no other solvent TV networks idiot.
Who do you expect him to sell them too?
PIXIELAND TV INC? :roll:
Ch 9 was the only option.

You know the thing you breached in 1990, the year you won the competition?
I'll be discussing that in an upcoming post... ;-)

SHUT DOWN
i think u will find it was alot more than a small breachgreeneyed said:DIEHARD said:Compare the playing rosters of Easts then and Raiders then. And then explain to me the purpose of a salary cap.
You know the thing you breached in 1990, the year you won the competition?
I'll be discussing that in an upcoming post... ;-)
The Raiders did not breach the salary cap in 1989. The Raiders breached the 1990 cap by a small amount... about the same amount that dozens of clubs have breached the cap by subsequently, including Easts when they recently won the premiership. The reason? The Raiders were on incentive contracts, so when so many of them came through to make rep sides, they pushed us over. The breach in 1990 was miniscule, as everyone knows. The POTENTIAL breach in 1991 was much larger, but the club and players took corrective action to ensure it wasn't breached. So there was no breach in 1991. This year the Raiders did not win the Premiership. The Raiders shed players as they were penalised with a REDUCTION in their salary cap..... that sort of penalty is something no other club, including the Bulldogs has ever received. Despite common allegations, from those with addled brains, the Raiders came back to win the 1994 Premiership having dealth with the lower cap.......
DIEHARD said:So let's talk about the Raiders salary cap breach in 1990. You know the $500,000 breach the year you won the Premiership.
The Bulldogs were stripped of all their points in 2002 for breaching the cap by what something like $1,000,000.
And the Raiders breach was 12 years prior and they won the damn Premiership.
Don't sit there and tell me you deserve that 1990 trophy!
Anyone have the inflation rate since 1990? I got my calculator ready.
