TV deal short-changes NRL, says Crowe

[Brutus]

souths and the titans really are helping the game of RL.

unlike the f ukwit at parramatta who is a parasite on the game

I can't argue with that.

 

[Kiki]

i love me some rusty.

 

[mckinks]

I'm looking forward to Gallop's response.

I know, I'm only joking.

 

[8Ball]

Good on him. Gallop will be umming and ahhing through this topic if it were ever brought up.

 

[kkingston]

RL gets around 40 million more viewers a season than AFL.

.

Not sure about that mate, But its about time someone brought up the fact league is getting short changed

 

[Canard]

Thing is personally its a big risk by Crowe too, he is putting his balls on the line.

Fox/Murdoch/News/Whatever practically own Hollywood and at least run 1 major studio, so he could be putting his career in jeopardy by doing this.

Man has guts.

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Crowe frequents this place.

Umm isn't that what a professional CEO would be doing? Then again we have Gallop and News..............:crazy:

Dally the FOXSPORTS network hardly paid anything for the rights to the AFL, 7 and 10 paid the large price and Fox had to bail them out by broadcasting Friday nights and Saturday evenings in NSW and QLD.

Know the facts before you bullsh*t everyone, you haven't a clue to f**k OFF.

Makes it sound like a gay bathouse....

If this was happening in any other sport or business this would be a massive story. There would be comment and debate throughout the media and yet it will barely rate a ripple after tomorrow.

Just more evidence of how corrupt thiese p***** are.

Well Fairfax do bring it up every so often, even if it just to score points off News Ltd. Until the clubs and fans start making a lot of noise (like Crowe is doing now) it won't get the attention it deserves.

Bottom line is that only one sport was stupid enough to sell itself to a media company and then rely on the same company for it's income.

The legacy of Peter Moore + the morons at Penrith & Cronulla.

and for their disloyalty the whole game now suffers

 

[dallymessenger]

This is true. I remember seeing some film of Crowe as a little kid and he is wearing a Souths jersey.

he said he went to his first souths game at the age of 4.

piggins even remembers him letting him in as a teen into the dressing room

id like to see the same kind of passion for the game from other administrators, and even gallop is starting to wear thin

people like crowe and Searle, and Waldron are the future of RL. people that look at the game, realize how good it is over AFL and union, and ask why the f**k are they treated better than us.

RLs put up with too much BS for over a decade.

ive started a thread on TFC and no ones been able to disprove it.

when you include Origin, tests, the fact the NRL season is longer than AFL, regional and Pay TV viewers AFL doesnt get close to RL.

listen AFL drop kick, ive provided the link here.

AFL pay double the cash per game for AFL over RL even though RL gets more viewers.

so go back to watching whichever AFL team you support eh bud

people like roy masters and gus gould have started all this off, and other people are now becoming aware of it.

the good thing is that unlike during SL when the clubs were divided, they are all united now so they wont accept a dud deal when they know what AFL is getting.

why should RL clubs be struggling financially when they deliver the TV ratings they do

omg i can totally imagine russell reading LU. i so hope he does.

I LOVE YOU RUSTY!!
