lets hope they go bust nrl could end up back on sky

one part of the bootsnall show I like to watch is the analysis of the plays,
it was tonight listen to Cullan that I thought that they could do a coaching dvd showing plays,
I like to show my lad when its on as is highlighted and easy to see and understand,
steveo is just a going through the motions,
for comedy value you can't beat barrie mac and terry

hear hear squire, and he always seem to give us a fair crack too.

what a e comment! You're obviously not in threat of losing your job are you unlike many others.
Why should Sky get everything, just rip us off more and stick the NRL in an empty slot at some stupid time
I have Sky sports and only pay for it for superleague - how to rip people off, £18 a month for 8 matches and Stevo slobbering over Whinos
I hope Setanta survives because they deserve to!

I aint moaning about it and understand perfectly why they tried to get the maximum they could and why they then dropped this to the minimum they could. However I will shed no tears for a company that has screwed over not just it's subscribers but it's employees as well.

Seems to me that Setanta tried to compete for Premier League rights too soon. Perhaps they should’ve slowly built up a solid profile of cheaper ‘second tier’ sports before going for the ‘holey grail’ that is football. RL would’ve been an ideal sport to bid on due to the niche market of the RL TV subscribers. I imagine many only have Sky for the RL and cancel it during the off season.

It’s a shame because competition is a good thing. It ensures that a fair market value can be found. Sky now seem untouchable. Should any upstarts come along and take them on they can afford to take a hit buy paying over the odds to drive up the price forcing the competitor to bail out or leave the rival’s business future precariously balanced.
