Rupert Murdoch once hijacked rugby league. Now he could end up with nothing.
With his $84 million Gulfstream jet parked at Sydney Airport on Monday, the media mogul again had staff on edge.

Two decades after Murdoch's Super League tried to hijack the entire code, all for the sake of television "product", it could end up with nothing at all.
