Absolutely love this. Can't wait for the next Cockerill/Harper article where they ignore all of this and just rabbit on about the Nix being commercially naive.

Firstly, we didn’t negotiate the TV deal - the FFA signed something they were happy with, so we can’t be blamed for that.

Said that from the day all the hate started. We didn't negotiate the TV deal, the FFA did.  I'd be very surprised, to say the least, if the NRL turn round to the Warriors and say "Okay, you guys go and organise the TV rights for showing games from our competition in New Zealand".

So all they'd be doing, by using the fact that they aren't happy with what they get as a stick to beat us with, is admitting that their business skills aren't what they should be. That argument is, and always has been, bollocks.
