While the NRL could have achieved a rights deal which exceeds its current $1.9billion, the real bottom line is many more fans are now watching the game on TV.

Well that's a relief..

must be embarrassing for the AFL. A sport that is so popular in all states (so we are frequently told), yet it can't muster up bigger TV ratings than a sport that is only popular in 2 states...

Wait for the day when the NRL will provide it's own league channel a-la the NFL.

NRL will make a shitload more from direct subscriptions.
