Message: [QUOTE="Steve, post: 2405091, member: 1799"] The whole thing is a bloody mess. The game desperately needs a commission that can make decisions purely in the game's interests (not vested interest groups). It's highly unlikely News Limited will cave and allow the Independent Commission to inherit a game in debt. Gallop was adamant that if a club finds itself in financial strife next year (one year from the start of the new broadcast agreement) that the NRL would be willing to assist. The fact that the clubs are holding their line despite Gallop's comments says to me they're taking the NRL for a ride. Oh and the ARL has managed to piss away any credibility they had with this issue. Last week they opposed the concept of a loan but this week they suddenly support it. How about putting forward some of the $3 million you took from the game last year? Can't have it both ways you chumps. I agree with John Quayle's comments yesterday: any money given to the clubs on top of the grant should be repaid. It's the game's money, not the clubs. [/QUOTE]
