To the whingers - it's only a matter of time before the full details of what 7 & 10 had offered are leaked out.

Sure, you may have wanted certain things that you didn't get but you need to realise that

a) they might not have even been on offer or
b) they would have come at a significant financial cost

It's easy to know what should have been done in hindsight but there are practical considerations to be taken into account during negotiations such as these. There is always give and taken and you have no idea what was being offered and for what impact.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this, but if David Gallop had delivered this deal, guaranteed people would hate it.

Broncos have 75% of their games on FTA... Gives them a bigger audience, allows them to get better sponsorship deals...

Sharks had 3...
What do you expect while you continue to base yourself in the same television market as eight other teams? Don't like it, well move the team to Queensland, Perth or New Zealand where you wouldn't be slicing the television market so thin.

Tell that to the Cowboys, or the Titans...

Funny that you make mention of the 8 teams, but neglect the fact that it would be split over two FTA spots (Friday and Sunday)...

Im of the belief that the NRL grants should be proportionate the amount of TV exposure the clubs get.

It is no fair that teams like the Dragons/Broncos/Tigers etc. get the same deal as a team like Cronulla/Canberra. The bigger teams can continue to grow sponsorship revenue, and be able to invest more into their football operation, while the smaller teams are continually left behind because they struggle for sponsors. They should be compensated by the NRL/TV Deal.

Secure the future of clubs by ensuring they get as little FTA coverage as possible...

Sounds like a plan!

secure the future of the clubs by paying them 250% more then you had done previously
for exactly the same amount of FTA coverage

yep
that sounds like a plan to me ;-)

You sir have been the biggest piece of shit on this forum all year talking up the deal like youre involved and now this is the shit that get delivered its all "hey we got a good deal"
I guess you were involved, only fools patting themselves on the back and people who hold money above all else are so deluded to think this is a good deal.

I stand corrected. The idiot that has to sign off every f**king post with his name beat you with how it really is.
The nrl doesnt care about the game. They only care about money and how television markets.

How some of you can be so blind to not see we just got f**ked for money is f**king beyond comprehension.
Even the AFL trolls have more sense than some of you.
hahaha lovin' it.

You say it like all of a sudden I've been proven wrong...

You sound like a baby.
See. Idiots.

Mattiske will be on Talkin Sport after 4pm. Let's hope Graeme Hughes can pronounce his name properly this time.

Move the Sunday arvo game to 4pm instead of 3pm and it is live anyway... 1 hour change and it becomes a live game. Any 2:30pm game will finish about then so there is no conflict in time. You can't say it changes the game that much either... By 4:30pm in winter the lights are on anyway. Minimal change and it forces channel 9's hand. Then there might even be a Sunday evening game as well.

Secure the clubs futures by ensuring that some clubs can't compete with clubs that are given ARLC sanctioned privilege ...

Winge winge winge...

If you're so caring about the game then get off your *rse and buy a season ticket membership and go to the games. Then you can watch it add free!!! AND live!!!

I have been a season member for 5 years now.

Fact is there will still only be 1 live game in 2017... this is just.. I have no words.

Oh yeah and get ready for more Broncos on Friday nights people! nothing has changed for the fans.

Channel 9 and Fox have had the deck stacked in their favour ever since SL due to the first and last rights arrangement. They were never giving that up without significant compensation.

Oh wait, they did. The games shown situation is really no worse than before. They practically gave up their advantage for this deal AND we got them to pay twice as much for the privelege. Fixed scheduling is the cherry on top.

The NRL has been a code in repair in this country ever since SL. Not everything gets fixed at once.

The game will be hugely better off from now on. Stop with the tantys.

Well said.

*Inversely proportionate.

You lying sack of shit. Feel free to quote exactly where I said I was involved in negotiations. Have a hissyfit about it. :lol: You know nothing about me but that's not a surprise because you know nothing in general! :lol:

All of the things that I have said - about LEK reports, about Channel 10 & 7 being involved etc - had all later been published in papers and proven to be true because they all came from reliable sources.

Seriously go wash the sand of your vagina.
