nrl to sacrifice cash for fans.

laugh now cry later i say

[ozman]

that has nothing to do with what i said, he only does what the board tells him to do, changing the ceo wont do ****, you need to change the whole board

What do they BOD have got to do with the TV rights? Wasnt it Gallop the one who negotiated the last tv deal by himself?

Its really dumb of Gallop to come out and say that we have to sell our game less then what we should be getting because of fixed scheduling...

fact is gallop has always put the NRL on the backfoot, for every step forward the NRL as a whole takes... he somehows manages to take at least 3-4 steps backwards.

The NRL cannot afford to have a CEO like Gallop to do the things he has done to our game... and never once have i seen a business plan from gallop the whole time he has been an NRL Ceo... thats why Demitriou and the rest of the gAyFL ****tards love what Gallop is doing Rugby League

What a useless **** David Gallop is. He has basically just robbed the game of at least 50 Mil by coming out with these stupid comments. Instead of showing how great the game is and shopping the rights around for the best price, he has just laid down and told channel 9 to offer them less next time round. Massive softcock.

I agree, why would you say that?

900 million over 6 years at least WITH a set draw

Apart from the lost income, locking in games could prove disastrous depending on how teams perform. We could wind up with big games between the top sides being played at inconvenient times, and no chance to reschedule. Real good for ratings.

its going to be very interesting to see what happens.

News corp has its fingers in all pies here .
Owns Half the NRL
Owns 25% of Foxtel
Ownes 50% of Preimer media group ( fox sports ) with Consolidated media holdings which suprise suprise is a joint venture with channel 7

So im not sure why there investment the nrl would want to pay fox sports big money to show NRL

Just a quick thing how many of you work in the corporate world at a high level?

[Cheka]

Haha. Ahhh Gallop. We can always rely on you for f**king the game over. At least he's consistent in that regard. Great business acumen shown here. Just fantastic. I always use the peanut butter on a playing card analogy (you love it McBain) but the NRL won't even get that this time around.

I have never had any doubt and said all along that this lacky would keep his job until the next TV rights deals were up, he'd rip the game off for his employers News Ltd and for Channel 9 and then he will leave and News Ltd will pull out of Rugby League already having secured lucrative rights for a pittance.

It's a disgrace that Rugby League is so incestuous and backward that no one will step in and prevent the game being ripped off and will instead all just sit idly by and watch the game get set back at least another 5 years if not more.

If you don't laugh you'll cry.

bloody well said mate

[steve1700]

Why would you do that, we will end up with all the dud games and they wont be able to

Change them.
