Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3326621, member: 9518"] I think the 'Big data' will show that the uptake of Kayo/Fox in the SE Qld region is poorest because our games are mostly on FTA. Murdoch knows he has to get our games off of FTA if he has any chance of getting our monthly contribution to his coffers. Personally, I think the steps that have been so far undertaken to undermine us in the hope of 'justifying' a chunk of our supporter base jumping ship to a second (more) successful team in Brisbane have been counter-productive. I think what has actually occurred is the overall number of fans following the game as a whole in this region has dropped dramatically because of the naked bias shown towards the Broncos, coupled with the obvious inconsistencies of the officials overseeing our games. Many of those disillusioned fans will not be back no matter how glamorous the new 'plastics' are made to look. The present state of the game is so inconsistent it leaves the doors wide open for claims of corruption, match-fixing and certain teams being perceived as being favoured over others. The fact Melbourne are currently being rated as the most followed team in Australia over the Broncos is all the proof you need. The NRL have managed to stuff the goose that laid the golden egg in SEQ. This short-term grab for cash will only have further serious repercussions in the long-term as the Brisbane market becomes fractured, watered-down and, once the novelty of the 'plastics' has worn off -irrelevant. We are indeed going back to a future of a dominant NSWRL. [/QUOTE]
