The TV rights thread

[Brutus]

Just watched the interview.

Great interview, Gallop has represented himself and the NRL well once more. Great work mate.

Yep. He is the best the game of rugby league has ever had.

I love the sense of humour in here... fantastic.

And Channel 10 is revising its offer to buy two AFL games from Seven.

More cash for 7 to have a crack at the NRL?

BTW it is on again at 3pm on Sky Business channel today,if anyone missed it.

Sheesh ,I am no fan of the Galloper,but for once even lil ole moi,has to admit,he handled the interview well.And not before flipping time.
The parts I liked,(especially when you get clowns like RedB ,Wookie and the other fumbler sycophants on other forums) ,argue only journos bring up the Packer pushing the AFL's last contract.Well Gallop mentioned it ,that they got lucky.
When advised the fumbleball goes for 3 hrs and the NRL goes for two, that is a good argument for bidders,Gallop responded we get the consistent Tv ratings.
The offield crap was brought up,which Gallop responded all the young players are going through intensive education programs in that regard.
Any way have a look at the interview and make your won decision.
