   Comments: The decision to have rugby league clips removed from YouTube is a short sighted and stupid move. YouTube one of the most popular and most visited websites in the world, (not just Sydney, and Brisbane) and is a free access area - how better an avenue to display and "your" product to the WORLD - just foolish, can't believe it. - Jeff Quigley

   Comments: League videos on You Tube is a great way to market the game internationally. Something the powers that be cannot do to an acceptable standard.

   Comments: They're only short clips, stop being killjoys, it hurts no one. Match videos fair enough, but 20 second clips of something like Mason decking Fielden Gimme a break

    Comments: An incomprehensible and farcical move from the NRL. Allowing NRL clips on Youtube.com can only serve to increase interest in the great game that is rugby league and this seems to be a petty, narrow minded and backward step on the part of the game's administrators.

    Comments: I can't believe the NRL have forced Youtube to take down all videos of rugby league games. I'm a North Sydney Bears supporter and it was great to be able to see highlights of the Bears games. But now they have taken that away from me. Why doesn't the NRL care about rugby league supporters

    Comments: It increases interest in the NRL which can only be a good thing. If the NRL gave fans easy access to old footage then yes I can see their point, but it doesn't. What ist has got now is a joke.

    Comments: I fail to see what loss the Nrl, or news limited sustains due to some of their content being hosted online, on the contrary it gave great exposure to the game on an international scale. Poor form NRL. Perhaps if they had their own library people wouldn't be forced to use 3rd party websites.

    Comments: NRL and Mr Gallop, you have to be kidding. These videos are created by fans of the nrl, youtube gives these fans an outlet, where they can share these videos with other fans and who knows, maybe attract more via this medium. How the hell are you going to lose money via these video's. I have grave doubts of the games future when you keep alienating fans likes this, first its the radio rights and now its this. Wake up you fools.

    Comments: Nice one NRL. The next time anyone asks to see NRL clips to see what all the fuss is about, I'll let them know that we don't want anyone else to see what all the fuss is about. Stupid, stupid, short-sighted and daft decision.
