John Davidson (@johnnyddavidson) reportedReported in The Courier-Mail today: The NRL’s plan to save Super League could be on the brink of collapse in what would be a devastating blow for the English game. The ARLC has been investigating a Super League rescue package for the past year, but it’s understood UK broadcaster Sky Sports is reluctant to come to the party with a palatable deal to satisfy the NRL’s investment strategy. There are suggestions DAZN, which now owns Foxtel, could support a Super League rescue package after former NRL CEO Andrew Abdo travelled to the UK in April for Super League buyout talks.  The Super League could be in trouble. Picture: Alex Livesey/Getty Images But V’landys says the Super League deal could hit a deadend. That would be a potentially fatal blow for an ailing English game which is drowning in debt. Super League giants St Helens lost $6.5m alone last year. “Look, we’re trying to make the figures work at the moment, but unless the figures work, we won’t do it,” he said. “We’re having trouble making the figures work, that’s the truth of it. “I don’t know what will happen. I find it very tough (to proceed with a purchase). “We need to talk further with Super League. We haven’t put a proposal into them yet. “We understand the importance of the international game, so we’re not giving up.”

Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@GusLefty @AJG71 @karlstefanovic QED. This ALP fool doesn’t know Foxtel rolled out and paid for a cable network for far less $/ customer than the NBN. Foxtel: ~$800–$1,100 per premise. NBN: $2,000–$2,750+ per premise.

Tiger Pops69 (@tigerpops69) reported@A1dynRL @ALeagueHQ Many issues with the A league, its promotion and its coverage. Love to know the audience on paramount + vs Foxtel days… quality of marquee players has gone down hill and it just lacks the spark it had when Melbourne V Sydney on multiple times packed marvel stadium back then

Karen Walker (@KarenWa13145181) reportedAndrew Bolt shut up I loved your show but now now I won't am cancelling my Foxtel if you are so smart what is your solution for these þerrorist I'm disappointed
-
the cat (@boogiecat11) reported@LeagueScenePod Paying fans that get kayo or Foxtel shouldn’t be forced to watch grand finals and origin games on a **** free to air with commercials.

Fred 🇦🇺 (@Possum2412) reported@JonesPam7777 @OMGTheMess Kinda sorta bloody oath. I got my pay rise, I'll be paying $22k in tax plus all the other taxes and council rates and water rates and electricity. Then I pay for Foxtel and internet and mobile phone. And then have to eat. And I don't live in a city. Poor people who do.

robert (@robert75096586) reported@FootyonNine IV'E GONE BACK TO THE ADDS, ON 7, MUCH BETTER THAN THE DUNSTALL CRAP & A GREEN ******* TEST PATTERN , FOR 5 MINUTES , WHAT ******** IS THAT ABOUT, NO COMMERCIALS , THAT WAS THE PROMISE, MORE TEST PATTERN THAN PAULINE'S PRESS CLUB COAT, **** OFF FOXTEL.
-
Gus Lefty Aussie Patriot (@GusLefty) reported@NadiaWa35758056 Remembering at the time Murdoch Foxtel was a satellite 'service'. Murdoch did not want a good high speed internet as it would 'damage' his Foxtel
-
Trev (@trevapchichi) reported@SoundingBoardEp @DrinkWiseAus For next years Hall of Fame, will Foxtel be asking Crown to serve meals on plastic plates? The sound of cutlery smacking crockery during Bill Walkers elevation was just horrible TV
-
Adam (@AdamTurbil38435) reported@Markedw For the SBS to outbid the likes of foxtel or Amazon . If a publicly funded network can outbid paid services.. maybe it should be looked at
-
Craig The Speculator (@craigspeculator) reported@Easts4Life @Foxtel that's lovely. Yes I would think something along the lines of "so sorry, glad she had been a customer of ours, all the best"
-
albert ross (@bermaguifishing) reported@Katzo60 @smh I know it’s hard in a small country to have meaningful competition but the lack of free to air broadcasts is really bad . The foxtel/kayo offering is pathetic for the money they charge
-
James Jones (@JamesyJones) reported@OMGTheMess Hahaha. Yeah televise women’s sport. That was proven to be bs. That’s what they ‘claimed’ it was for. And estimates proved not a single additional women’s sport was televised. Also Foxtel never even asked for the money or reported what they did with it. $40m given away.
-
bomber_stu (@stu0508) reported@terrypunter5 @kayosports Hmm. That shouldn't be giving you too many issues. I admit I switched from Foxtel to Kayo a while back to save some $$. My Kayo experience was also very poor, to the point I couldn't stand it and had to switch back
-
Frumpy (@Frumpy45) reportedGood goal, too bad we missed it because Foxtel are obsessed with showing replays of absolutely nothing #AFLLionsHawks
-
Biscuitman (@biscuitman007) reported@Hugh_96 @balumbah I agree, as there's no accountability in RA. You can fail and fail again, and no transparency. My view is that 3 years after the RWC, when the money runs out, Foxtel will buy rugby for peanuts. Only then will it get fixed.
-
robyn andrew (@ROBUNS) reported@sandylanceley @Channel9 @wwos I think with the new rights deal Foxtel will have the broadcast duties Maybe that may help with the coverage Stand corrected
-
H Met Louis 📚🎧🇦🇺 (@Sokolovonfire) reported**** THIS **** I DONT HAVE FOXTEL @HBO WHY DIDNT YOU GET THE RIGHTS FOR AUSTRALIA
-
Sports Turmoil (@sixtiessongs) reported@10SportAU @alexbozmorty Getting the A League back onto Foxtel or Stan Sports would help.
-
yoelmonaro (@yoelmonaro) reportedAlso btw wtf was the ticking sound @Foxtel in the first 18 mins of the Panthers v Tigers coverage?
-
Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported@LeagueFreak Kerry Packer believed you bid the maximum you can so if you loose to anyone else - you know they will be worst off than you. Foxtel knows it will lose half their subscriptions if they lose the NRL. And that means it will go broke because they already over paid for the AFL.
-
James Jones (@JamesyJones) reported@OMGTheMess Coalition also handed out $40m to Foxtel. Complete and utter scam. Cash for comment each and every night. There was no tender, no conditions and no reporting. All to a subscription service that cheerleads them every night. But the Right don’t dare bring that up.
-
Freo ⚓ Pope (@FreoPope) reported@FkYeahMatt I think Kayo just picks up Foxtel channels & re-packages them into streams. Foxtel is focused on their channels & they stayed to the end of the Swans game that ran over due to a bad injury, before they switched to the AFLW. Don't think Kayo produces shows that are on FoxFooty
-
Jon Striker (@compaqfw22) reported@daveburke82 @SteveMascord I agree in a perfect world - but professional sport was changing in the late-90s and as great as a “1994 Winfield Cup with Foxtel showing the non-Ch9/2 games” would have been, it just would have left someone else to come in and offer a resolution
-
Dr G (@DrG2020V) reported@GregDavis006 Imagine the poor ***** who don't have Foxtel and have to watch channel 9 for all their footie all year! I'd just stop.
-
💧Elizabeth Marr (@JmarrMarr) reported@RhondaGarad @SBSOnDemand I was trying to remember when SBS started, was it commercial free like the ABC & then converted to a commercial network or was it always commercial? The fraudulent Foxtel told ppl pay this subscription fee for no adverts, that soon changed
-
joan Reynolds (@joanReynolds52) reported@RBJRON @strangerous10 I’m with you. Haven’t bought a Murdoch rag since 1997. Never subscribed to Foxtel and, for my own sanity, never tuned into Sky. Don’t walk into a Harvey Norman shop and avoid anyone else who advertises with the Murdochracy
-
patty (@patty123_45) reported@SportMoments0 You do realise the population has more than doubled in Melbourne since the 80s.. and there are more games. Crowds are down, without the Foxtel deal the AFL would be broke
-
TheTopMostDog 🇦🇺🐕🦺🏕️🎣🔫🪓🥩 (@TheTopMostDog) reported@Foxtel Mum is still paying $90/mo for this ****. I've almost convinced her to let it go. The value just isn't there anymore since competition ramped up. She could pay for half a dozen streaming platforms for that much. Unless you change, you'll die along with your last subscribers.
-
Craig The Speculator (@craigspeculator) reportedsad example of corporate greed - ring @foxtel to cancel my mother's Foxtel as she has passed away. No offer of sympathy on her passing from the operator but he did among other formalities ask if any other family member would like continue with the contract.
