Message: [QUOTE="heartly87, post: 2880307, member: 8651"] I think the main issue is broadcasting. The game is being strangled by the broadcasters. Take fox for example, they televise the game to make money, their not in it for the game their there to generate money out of the game. The 24hr chanel needs news. It needs scandals and needs drama. Their commentators will call the game with that in mind, this means one bad call is talked about for the next 5 mins and then the next 48hr news cycle. There has been multiple examples of this all year. The high shot on slater could have been the head shot on JFK for the way 360 covered it for its 3 day cycle. Their plan to deal with this was to make the game no contact for anyone but the professionals. Idiocy of the highest order. Junior's not exposed to contact before grade would be unprepared and in more dangour then any on history. The media and its ilc will destroy the game to line their pockets. In one hand complain about the good old days and in the other complain how the game needs be more progressive and mature. The players are giving as much or more as they always have. It is us driven by media frenzy that are never happy. The sooner the NRL gets its own channel the better. To be honest i would rather hear how good the game is for once. Then all the negativity spewed out of the mouths of degenerate Slothfields and has beens like Ikin [/QUOTE]
