How often have you heard a broadcaster say tonight """Football was the Winner""" in this case no matter what happens Rugby is the loser.. Spent the first 20 years or so of my career in construction building large scale infrastructure projects like power stations, alumina smelters...

G That is a brilliant post.

Guys Guys Posters others. Waltz Disney as part of his Disneyland empire had Fantasy Land. The revenue from the media and our existing broadcasting agreements look like ending. If and it appears likely it happens most sponsors with big cheques will also go without a mainstream broadcasting...

Mate sent me this so I am going to put up 3 posts from the Mariners forum, its a thread where the CEO can be asked questions and or say what’s going on. Sorta management communication with fans. The first two post are about the current TV deal and how it will effect, first the Mariners and...

Twas having a coffee with my wife and overheard a conversation somewhat heated about Folau, I don't know the answer to the question that was asked in the conversation and TBH find myself seeing both sides. Anywho, female in her early 20's I think and I doubt a rugby fan, arguing with a male...

Thats the USA and thank god we don't live there... our laws are far more European slanted

Slim This is a very poor example but I will use to show what I am talking about. Young man goes into shop and is caught shop lifting a bottle of milk to feed his young baby as he has no work. Court gives him a general warning not to do it again. Same young man goes into the same shop next...

I understand that, but your argument means he must take down what he said was a key part of what RA wanted. In court it will not be we offered a lessor punishment if he did what we told him to do. In court it will be has RA acted within Australian law with the punishment it gave and the...

Not sure to many are suggesting what he posted not have consequences. The response for me anyway is the punishment does not come within light years of the crime committed. How anyone can seriously suggest, there where no other alternatives and that the call had to be made as soon as it was me...

Read this on the Roar from a poster called Concern Supporter. Foxtel’s Failing Financials The data in the filing is the most detailed and comprehensive on Foxtel’s finances and subscriber numbers ever released. It doesn’t make for pleasant reading. According to the filing, Foxtel had an...

Many many many many moons ago AMP won a case I think a full high court decision and in winning lost what they were fighting for. WE all know this is headed for the high court. IMO the high court will destroy rugby either by finding as I think they will in favour of the player or by winning the...

BINGO === HIT NAIL ON HEAD === LIGHT BULB MOMENT=== FINALLY UNDERSTANDING; Because the system he was being asked to sign too was outside his control. Meaning provide a system where he has control of the product. Please go back and find no better still I will link an article for you. This...

Interesting comment, where do you obtain your information that there are no business people willing to invest in rugby. Lang Walker a rugby tragic is the funder behind the new western Sydney A-League team and is on record as saying he would have much preferred to do this for a rugby side...

Rebelsfan n BH. I admire your passion further I acknowledge your heart is in the right place We are not in a position anymore to choose what format we like. We lost that right IMO about four to five years ago when we refused to accept our position. Further we over asumed how strong we where...

Fully agree on AJ. Thank you for your question re my alternatives are they any good, are they viable and compare to other posters. Again thank you, its a fair and reasonable question so let me explain. Some context, my work experience has often involved detailed analysis of business models...

Adam84 I have offered solutions for a very very very very very very very long time to the power very very very long. I have been calling for a national domestic competition since 1999. Further I have been saying for about two years how and who to invite to develop a national domestic...

and your alternative is

Can't say I am surprised and now all those posters who have bagged me forever because I have been SCREAMING this was coming and to develop a national domestic competition and that it was too dangerous to leave the revenue of Fox. Where are your post now, and please listen. We are starting...

Thats an astute observation. I would also add two other points, first is a number of people have switched from Fox to Kayo which would reduce income, and secondly if they chopped some sports and lets say, Union, Soccer & Basketball all have reasonable numbers of subscribers to Fox that if Fox...

Maybe its just me and maybe I am not that smart. But it appears Fox are about to go on a massive cost cutting excise and are clearly saying a number of sports they fund will not receive anywhere near the current funding they receive. Those that rabbit on about not changing because of the loss...
