Re: Urgent Call

CC, have only received two examples from Storm supporters so far... so hoping that those that have voiced their anger over the treatment that Nine of given them. I've gotten more from the Tigers and Dragon supporters that live in Melbourne This is a great opportunity for League supporters to have th...

Re: NRL US

Lets hope it does take off as this will be the 3rd time in 12 years that they have tried to get a decent comp off the ground. A US Super League that included teams from 11 teams that included the similar teams nicknames to those here in Australia took place in 1998/99 but failed. As long as they mak...

Re: Johns stays in coaching role

I can not believe this has jsut come through..... MATTHEW Johns' career suffered another blow today after being stood down as assistant coach of Melbourne Storm. "We felt it was in the best interests of all parties," said Storm CEO Brian Waldron. The Storm released a one paragraph statemen...

Urgent Call

Need some information all. I need examples, date, and person spoken too (if possible) from those who have rang Channel Nine in Melbourne or Sydney regarding the broadcasting issue. Especially those that have been treated rudely (not the typical fob off they do) or nasty. The more detail on what the ...

Forward to pick up?

Wondering what people thoughts would be on us picking up Mark O'Meley from next season. It is clear the Roosters are going to off load him and like Crocker would have a good work ethic down here and help develop some of our young forwards as well. I know when the Finch quit the eels and I posted he'...

Re: 2009 Nein TV Coverage

Listen to what Ratty said - there are several good online sites for watching the games live, and there is always ABC Radio, they cover every game except Monday night. The online sites are great for die-hard supporters to watch and get their fix, but they don't help in growing public awareness of th...

Re: Blair and Slater Bust Up - Amazing stuff

I'm with the last two posts.....

The only fight between those two looked like it was to see which one could get the other one away quicker

Re: UK reject Crocker

I do wish him well but a little filthy on this.

We released him a year early so he could play overseas...not against us.

Also a small concern that he'll become a target again like he use to be in Sydney by dills. Poor bloke couldn't go out without someone wanting to start him.

Re: 2009 Nein TV Coverage

League administration is the laughing stock of all profession sports around world.

There are more 'governing bodies' with no 'one' chief body in this country.

As for the ACCC, nothing they can do due to Federal Broadcast laws and the anti-syphoning list.

Good to hear Brian on this now.

Re: 2009 Nein TV Coverage

GTV Nine (Melbourne) CEO released a statement saying that they are interested and would be bidding for the AFL's next broadcast rights. To make matters worse on the issue, the NRL are now saying (from the nasty phone call I got today) that there is nothing they can or will do with GTV Nine due to th...

UK reject Crocker

News just released that the British Home Office has gone against the Home Security Minister and rejected Michael Crocker's appeal for entry into the UK.

Crocker has no other appeal process left to him to join Hull in Super League and with remours abound is expected to sign a deal with Souths.

Re: 2009 Nein TV Coverage

Andy, it's the NSWRL & ARL number alright.

Spoke to them yesterday and they said that they had a number of enquiries about it and were looking into why it was so late.

Re: Storm Michael Crocker

Wont be happy if this goes through, after all he was released from his contract a year early so that he could get a long term contract overseas. And it's a little concerning about clubs relying on all these 3rd party deals to secure a player when most for the 'high profile' players in Sydney have fa...
