News Corp will have a tantrum. That's what bad partners do. But if they lose the rights, five years later they'll be back again as footy sells papers and subscriptions.

That’s very funny. You can’t be counted if you ain’t in the survey!

Very positive figures. Getting NRL regularly on FTA in NZ was so important.The NRL’s surging popularity has been reflected in a strong set of Sky Sport broadcast numbers.
Sky revealed on Thursday that almost 1.59 million New Zealanders watched NRL matches Sky Sport and free-to-air on Sky Open in the first 10 rounds of the competition, a rise of 14% from 2023.
The Warriors-Raiders game in round three was the most-watched game of the competition so far, attracting an audience of 469,800 people with a further 63,800 people streaming on Sky Sport Now and Sky Go.
Those figures show that New Zealand is very much a two-code country, boosted by the popularity of the Warriors.
However, rugby still has its nose in front. Super Rugby Pacific was viewed by 1.67m people in the first 10 rounds of the competition, despite having fewer games each weekend.
The most-watched Super Rugby Pacific contest, the Crusaders-Chiefs game on March 29, also rated slightly higher than the Warriors-Raiders game.
The Super Rugby game attracted 482,000 on Sky and more than 59,400 streaming on Sky Sport Now and Sky Go for a total of 541,400, compared to the total of 533,600 for the Warriors’ most-watched game.

Yeah that's my main disappointment with all the expansion talk. We really need to be looking at another NZ side and right now that feels like it's 10 years away at the earliest.
Certainly, the money side of it is a concern, we`ll have to what is flushed out when the dust settles on this Perth and P.N.G. stuff, NZ2 hopefully might surprise us, the ratings viewing figures coming in just behind super rugby might make a few corporates sit up and take notice, will certainly give the bidders something to market.
We'll go to 20 teams quickly
