Why isn't Ch9 showing this match? They showed the Aussie round matches, why not the QF?

If he thinks he's going to be that kind of owner and have Wayne Bennett as Head Coach then he's got another thing coming.

you can't put a price on "customer goodwill". And TBH I don't think the people of Newcastle actually believe they will lose their NRL licence if they don't turn their finances around. But the NRL are not prepared to continually prop up financially un-sustainable clubs long term. So yeah $5...

Re: Player Movements and Rumours 2011 or soccer .................. True that. The major negative consequence of the explosion of player salaries has been the rapid decrease in money directed to towards grassroots, junior and regional footy (which have all seen a MASSIVE drop in player...

Re: Player Movements and Rumours 2011 The AFL keeps throwing around this $1b figure - but I can pretty much guaruntee they are not going to get it. The value of the NRL TV deal is going to depend very much on how many of the FTA networks actually want to bid for it and how much more Foxtel is...

I'm not interested in the horse racing so don't know his reputation there. But in the "sports business" world he is pretty highly regarded and as others have pointed out he has done absolute wonders with the Jets. He doesn't see the Knights as a money-making venture for his company but rather...

Traffic and esp the free public transport is going to be a nightmare

Yep, but it's not a done deal yet - might all fall over at the last minute. RU execs have a habit of caving in to the players at the final moment.

OK, here's the deal though. ARU and ANZSA RU are massively struggling financially and they are very definiately considering implementing an NRL style Salary Cap from next year, meaning players will be having to take massive pay-cuts across the board. This is also why Cooper only signed a 1 year...

yeah well I after they've been out of the game for a few (ie quite a few) years :-)

FOXTEL - please try to keep up Ning [icon_razz1

You know what I think? If they did know, I think once they are all retired and out of the game a few years that there will be some pretty frank autobiographies or confessions.

Foxtel. The way the current NRL TV deal is the TV station's get to dictate the game times and schedule

I'd totally be down for that. In fact that is one of the best ideas I've heard in a while.

I don't have Fox so don't watch MNF unless it's a Broncos home game and I hate going to the footy on Monday night - so I'd be happy to see it go. But I don't think I'd really like Sunday evening/night much better (maybe slightly) - would rather they move it to have another Sunday arvo game - I...

TBH I think you'd be better off trying someone from the Titans. I have found them to be much more open to approaches and more accommodating with this type of thing.

Yeah but just going by how the players talk about Bellamy like a "second father" type relationship (very similar to how the Broncos of the past spoke about their relationship with Bennett). They would have talked to him in great detail about their contract etc; so just saying that IMO if you...

IMO you're kidding if you think Bellamy didn't know

If these 4 go it will be very interesting times as to who will get their clients - amongst them they have most of the big names in the game
