Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2121684, member: 1853"] Yeah well maybe Ch9 should actually pay the game what it's worth. If I was Fox I'd be wanting better than game 3 each week for $70million. As (I think it was Johns) said "RL is the best TV product of the football codes" - so it just makes me so angry that they can get away with paying so little for it. Not that it's Ch9's fault, if I could get away with paying less than for something than it's value I'd take that option every time. So the game needs to raise more revenue? There's one place to start - the NRL needs to get serious about the worth of the TV rights. Or when the ref used to only refer to players by their number not their name - being all friendly. I watched most of the show last night, which is rare for me. I thought there was a some good ideas and the predictable crap from the usual suspects. One of the major things I took from it was that the game is not in crisis (yet), but needs some tweaking - both on-field and off. I agree 1 body to make the decisions and dictate to clubs just how it will be is a must. I also like Sterlo's idea of a thinktank of people with the ability to look outside their own club ties and agendas for the good of the whole game - and unlike him in his humbleness, I think Sterlo would be a very valuable member of such a thinktank.
