Not allowed to happen Tis against forum laws. If someone foolishly posts a post that takes us to 1, 000 pages. Well the world will stop spinning on its current axis. In fact the world will stop spinning. Then spin in the opposite direction. Meaning all life as we know it will die...

Maybe Ms Castle was on the money with her plans ... and just maybe she was knifed so she could not carry them out. Below is an interesting interview on SBS... its mostly about the A-League and its lost audience in the interview click on my link if you wanta watch. Not that much in the...

Look there is more mics on here that people at a Rebels game.

Go Reds

Fox have spent so much on the cricket and after buying the cricket their subscriptions fell. I read somewhere that Fox said they spend in the order of 100 million on soccer and 85 million on rugby. These figures include international match cost as well. Our rating are similar. If Fox...

Vid on Super Rugby from a NZ Fan.

Quick We did hire Peter some time ago. Peter is a particular type of manager needed for the short term, his crash or crash through philosophy works until it fails and when it fails many deny its failed as they like the strong man who can make quick decisions . Consider, 9 are paying less...

Whatever happens by whoever needs time. It’s fascinating reading this thread over say the last three months when the penny finally dropped a National Domestic Competition was by light years the best way to go. Unlike NZ & SA we don’t have a ready made local domestic competition that needs...

For what its worth this is the model I would adopt and it keeps a small part of Super Rugby. Australia 1 NZ 2 SA 2 PIN’s 1 ANG 1 Japan 1 Each nation play its own local domestic competition. The winner of each of the above nations winner gets a place with NZ & SA 2 places. Played on a rotation...

Must Read article...could this be our future... K-League streaming.. WCR especially and Redshappy , Dru and RugbyReg have been talking about this sorta stuff for a while now. https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/live-stream-plus-remote-production-a-virtual-victory-for-sports-fans-548147/page0 LIVE...

^^^^^ BTW the above is all from a client and is still in negotiation but according to my client this is very close to being signed off. So until the ink is dry please treat as a well sauced rumour. But the approach and cooperation is so different to ours. Especially now we understand Optus...

Yes. Hope this explains it. REMEMBER ITS NOT SIGNED JUST A WELL SAUCED RUMOUR As I understand it and remember its via a client. Fox currently say they pay for Football overall 100 million, this includes A-League, International matches, broadcast costs, and various panels, with by far the two...

My understanding is the existing Fox / FFA contract with a team team format is 60 million which is spilt between cash and ads with cash amount being around 50 million. There is 3 years left on the deal, however because FFA could not finish their season by 15 May, they are in breech of the...

HHHHHMMMMMmmm AAAArrrrrrggggggaaaa Spoke to a client today who is reasonably well connected in the Football world. What follows may not be true and all aspects may not be true however that Fox and FFA have signed off on a a number os aspects of the deal. If this is true this could work for...

Normally and my history to date would say lets get a new competition up and running. Issue is RA from the financials is technically insolvent. Starting with negative cash, no media deal in place, no income and no crowds allowed makes getting revenue lets say difficult. Remember to we still...

Brendan Murphy at a senate hearing today indicated international broader restrictions will be the last to be lifted and he can't see this happening for a long time and at this stage can't see it at all... Aside fro NZ [even then around Christmas] means all other nations can't compete. I...

Have not seen it before on here but the head of Optus Sports on a podcast .... talks about rugby just past the minute mark... seems we not even close to Optus signing. http://media.skyracing.com.au/POD/1/doCbXo.mp3

Wam & Slim I was one of those early folks saying it would fail over time. To me it was obvious for a number of reasons. I have often posted doing nothing is by light years the greater risk, than leaving the existing golden handcuffs media deals. My stated stance was akin to climate change...

Not sure were to put this I choice the broadcast thread as the best fit over the Super Rugby & RA treads. Lots of media reports doing the rounds that FFA have in getting the final payment for this year from Fox re did there TV deal. Essentially FFA were in breach of their contract and arguably their...
