Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2314460, member: 2021"] Found this on another forum(didn't have a source). It's a brilliant read. This shows just how important it is for this independent commission to be formed and News LTD to get out of the game. It highlights ust how terrible the current administration are, they undersold the game big time and the game has suffered for it. It's crazy that AFL gets a lot more money then the NRL when the NRL is clearly the better TV product. It also shows just how much benefit there is from adding a Perth team, those capital city ratings are a big factor, having a NRL team in Perth will provide a massive boost to ratings down there and will definitely help the TV deal. Last but not least, it shows how disgraceful channel 9 has treated the game, they do nothing for international games, show the games at terrible times in a key areas(Melbourne) and they really are holding the game back. The NRL needs to grow a pair and give the rights to who ever will benefit the game the most, with channel 7 having a footy show now that will certainly make it very attractive to bid for Internationals and Origin at least and because they don't show NRL games they will have more time to hype up and advertise these games which can only benefit league. The NRL need to get it right this time if the game is to move forward. If it gets it right AFL, Union and who ever else will no longer be able to outbid NRL teams by much, if at all. [/QUOTE]
