Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I’ve never seen the TV rights value for rights outside of Australia and NZ in print before.

$25 million over next 5 years.

“Grant said it was in the interests of players, clubs and the NRL to grow the game internationally, with broadcast rights outside Australia and New Zealand for the Telstra Premiership and Holden State of Origin increasing from $8 million for the past five years to $25 million from 2018 to 2022.“

Good catch!

 

[Perth Red]

That’s a great increase and shows the value of having a wider exposure for the game.

 

[Starkers]

Great result.

 

[Foreign Legion]

Nice

Done outside of Smith's tenure.

Pretty impressive. Can only imagine that having an increased international presence would just add to that. More reason to push international league.
