[dallymessenger]

well if he is reading this, you need to sign a f**king fullback.

How would Ben Roberts go as a Fullback? :lol:

rusty if ur reading this can u hook me up with the dude that makes all ur footy themed leather jackets?? i totally need a dragons one. thanks.

No mention of Crowe's comments on ox as yet. This will die a quick death, though I pray it doesn't. It should be the major talk back issue today.

 

[Perth Red]

Now he has started the ball rolling we need other high profile RL people to come out and continue to push it until Gallop can not ignore it and has to respond.

 

[Timmah]

What's Rusty gonna tell us next? Souths are a rugby league club? Bears sh*t in the woods and are the Rabbits' feeder club? Fugg me, it's plain as day we're being short-changed.

You're missing the point....

That seems to happen a lot

I can't stand going to my local club and having to watch AFL on the big screen which is usually default programmed to Fox sports 1.

Get NRL back on Fox 1 where it belongs.

To be honest , thats got more to do with the stupidity of your clubs management than anything else. Seriously how hard is it to change the set top box to 502?!

 

[Timmah]

Seems the media is missing the point more. They might have pointed it out but the groundswell we want to see as a result of Crowe's comments is unlikely to happen. He's that rich, why doesn't he take action?

 

[Shorty]

Yeah you're probably right Tim but at least he's brought it to light because the more attention this problem gets the better it is for RL.
At the moment it's only really RL fans that have such an idea.

 

[NK Arsenal]

About time somebody said it publicly...

What's it doing on the NRL site though? :lol:

 

[LeagueXIII]

As Timmah said we want action and as Gallop as usual has said nothing when the game he is CEO of is being ripped off. This story won't go anywhere it will be same old.

I feel Soooooo much better now, Rusty's not going to let it happen again !!!!!

You f**k off, mate. Ya wanna fight???

I'll do the negotiating next time, I'll march into the boardroom and start fighting, that should get Rugby League at least $900 million.

More phone jokes??? Try writing something original, ya vagina!!!

 

[The Preacher]

VAGINA.....Rusty, how metrosexual of you.

 

[Perth Red]

When is the next TV due to start and when will it be negotiated? We should start a fans campaign as the negotian date draws near. If we make enough noise, letters to newspapers, talkback radio, banners at games etc then we can shame Gallop into getting a true value deal.

Gallops response has always been:

1. AFL is National
2. AFL games last longer
3. You can get more ads in a AFL game

This has been his stock line for the past two years. What we should be asking is why we are not planning for two extra teams as part of the next TV deal that will solve points 1&2.
