O/T Setanta : Mon Jun 08, 2009 1:46 pm  

I see they're on the brink of going into administration. Just as well I cancelled my subscription at the end of the footy season. For those of you who follow the NRL on this channel it could be off the air soon.

ESPN apparently keen to buy them.

Owners of Disney. Maybe they should bid for the Super League rights so that it becomes the Mickey Mouse League

SL is less entertaining than NRL at the moment..... most of the games I've seen this season have been one sided or there's been alot of one up rugby.

Setanta going out of business could have a negative effect on the next SKY offer to RL , sorry SL

Maybe the RFL will then have to move it's focus to building support base rather than sponsorship and corporate investment

Bye, bye Setanta

Get everything back on SKY... suits me fine. As for the RFL does anyone really think the hierarchy in our sport have got any clue what they're doing anyway?

Rugby League must be the laughing stock when it comes to governing bodies in professional sports.

On their website they're offering 3 months for £9.99 with no connection fee and no minimum contract. Looked like a good offer for NRL and SOO only - click on the link and you get a message saying Oops, something's gone wrong and you need to try again later
