See you started off explaining your opinion well, and that's good discussion.
Is it..
But then you ended it by trying to attack my socio economic status, of which you have no idea.
No, I asked a relvant question and offered assistance if the answer was that you didn't have Foxtel, you seeing it as an attack is your problem.
This deal isn't about me, it isn't about you.
No kidding.
It's about joe citizen that can't afford foxtel.
Why is it?
It's more about ensuring that the game survives and thrives and that's exactly what it will do. The posturing from people like you and moffo is just that, posturing. You dont' speak on behalf of everyone who doesn't own Foxtel so don't pretend that you do.
Its about joe and Jill and their 3 kids that wanted more daytime games so they could go as a family.
I see, so you're advocating two timeslots, 3pm Saturday and 3pm Sunday. The problem with that, of course, is that more people watch TV at night than during the day and TV is where the $'s come from. We could go to the times you want, but that would end up with Rugby League regressing to what club Rugby Union is now.
Pass.
It's not 1978 any more.
It's about any club wanting more sponsorship - that can't get it cos certain teams monopolize FTA games.
Your club has one of the smaller fanbases, whose fault is that?
Of course the clubs with bigger fanbases are going to monopolise the best slots on TV, that's the idea as far as the broadcaster goes, to maximise the audience..just in case you didnt know..
The cash injection is great, but the fact is it's the same tv deal that we have now - shite.
It's not perfect, but it will never be perfect. If the deal was for 8 live games per week to everyone in the universe, Moffo and others would whinge.
A little less cash for more tv exposure would've been better.
FMD.
1/5 of a billion dollars over 5 years is a little?
In what reality?
The AFL negotiated a kickass deal, why couldn't we??
We did, it just isn't their deal....
