Honestly, I would rather not play on Friday nights or Sunday afternoons next year and channel 9 make money off of usPlease channel 9, do us all a favour and dont broadcast our games next year. I would 100% rather see them all on fox LIVE and in HD!
In fairness to Nine's Sports division, it's not their fault that their news division is a gutter-dragging mess. (Hiring Ray Hadley aside) they're not too bad. What amazes me, however, is the dysfunctional nature of the whole operation. I'd have thought having put down over half a billion dollars for the new TV deal, that the news crew might have been warned off needlessly going after Rugby League so as to protect their investment. I'm not advocating dishonesty - genuine scandal does need to be reported - but muck raking via gatecrashing and sound amplification is not exactly classic journalism. Why has nobody higher up told them to pull rank on this? Is it any wonder the whole operation is failing?Just imaginne if I turned up uninvited to a party, sat outside private property with locked gates for hours, filmed and pointed directional audio equipment at a barely opened window waiting for something to happen.
Not only would I eventually get verbally abused, Id get my head punched in!

You have more bargaining power to keep the baillifs away if you can prove that your ratings on the way up. How do you get instant ratings????Dear Ch9, Best of luck with the bankruptcy f*ckers, dont let the Centrelink door hit your arse on the way in..
