<t>What I'm pointing out DaveO is that although the deal is on the table, if economically it doesn't make money, then financially it won't work long term. Just like the Scottish Premier League, who had a massive cash-windfall from a TV company, the profit and loss account never made sense, and the r...

<t>The numbers don't add up DaveO - ru didn't pull in the viewers for Aviva rugby with SKY's 10M viewers. How can BT Vision offer 50% more than Sky, yet with only a tiny fraction of their subscribers (680,000).<br/> Other TV broadcasters have attempted to take on Sky - and lost ; look at the Scottis...

<r>If you didn't know, SKY are ditching all Premiership RU from the start of next season.<br/> They have a new massive deal for the Football Premier League, so to pay for it are offloading Aviva union to the new BT Vision, so they don't have to increase charges to their 10M subscribers.<br/> SKY sta...

Hanley - the ultimate match-winner.

<t>Rugby League needs all the publicity it can get from all forms of the media. The game has to project its players more, especially its star names, to attract a wider sporting public.<br/> The more this happens, the greater the level of interest in our game and Sam portrayed himself and RL in gener...

<t>Blimey, thanks for that CPW.<br/> I had to count each one, couldn't believe that it was actually TEN !<br/> Showed his qualities by scoring/making tries down the left, middle and right - and he was a left winger !<br/> There's no substitute for pace like that in most sports, and especially Rugby ...
