Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

This is fair. He's achieved a lot, but it's this TV rights deal that will make or break his legacy. He's talked a big game and got everyone's hopes sky high so he must be fairly confident. Let's see how it all plays out.

The afl had to include gather round, Tasmania, Saturday games taken behind a paywall for the first time, and be locked in for seven years to get a tv deal which is around 580 to 590 million pa

The nrl will beat that easy

With the growth in ratings I think they are a good shot at 650 million

Plus the png/pacific service could end up generating 25 to 50 million more pa

Down the track it’s going to be a huge revenue generator

Beating the afl tv deal will be a huge moment for league. It’s never happened before

It marks a passing of the baton

It's certainly looking positive. The game is absolutely flying

Pvl makes it look easy

Wonder why any of previous douche bags couldn’t do the same most of it isn’t rocket science

Great product. Huge footprint which has been neglected

He better not ignore nz2. Union is vulnerable, league can make huge inroads in what is the crown jewel of Union.

“V’landys says PNG will not only represent a fresh spectator market, but open a broadcasting gateway that could see the Pacific eventually usurp Australia as the NRL’s most lucrative TV rights powerhouse.
The NRL is exploring a cut-price Pacific subscription service to monetise the NRL’s 19th team and the 10 million-plus Papua New Guinea fans who will back the franchise with unmatched tribalism.
“Papua New Guinea could end up, in 10 or 15 years, to be worth more in broadcast revenue than Australia,” he said.“

@perthred now isn’t that interesting

Same bloke who thinks bears have 200k members!

do the sums. Aussie tv deal $380mill

lets say the paupers of png could afford $5 a month. That would require 7.5 million subscribers for a provider to make any money if it paid more than the current aussie tv deal. Come back to me when this hypothetical is a reality Lol.

5 dollars a month by a million subs is 60 million pa

Which I haven’t even really included when I said 650 million pa

Down the track do the numbers on ten bucks a month and more subs

Monetising the png (and Fiji) markets can provide a lot of extra income

You are being very conservative with PNG. PVL told us it's going to exceed the Australian TV rights, you should add an extra zero to your figures.

 

[BuffaloRules]

5 dollars a month by a million subs is 60 million pa

and how much is the Australian deal gunna be per year ?

 

[BuffaloRules]

Vlandys would be stupid to sign a 10 year deal

maybe if they get blown away by the bidders

 

[BuffaloRules]

“A third network has contacted the ARL commission to formally express interest “

TV network ? Stokes ? Haha

 

[BuffaloRules]

Could the deal possibly be for Seven to 10 years?

PVL - it could be

headline - PVL to do 10 year tv rights deal!

Based on what data and with what facts?

RL has been the biggest sport in PNG since the 80s, and yet the NRL have monetised ZERO from it, is V'landys admitting he is been a poor administrator by ignoring this?

The only way the "Pacific" will be a bigger TV deal than Australia is if those countries become economic powerhouses. That's not happening in our lifetime, nor the next.

This is frogshit on a grand scale.

 

[Canard]

Anyone know how much money Union gets in TV deals in the Pacific?

A sport that is undoubtedly number 1 in this area.

There is something very unethical about trying to make money out of a third world country.

And then trying to use that revenue as a 'one up' on your main competitor is just distasteful.

Network 10 Paramount!
This deal should be selected exclusivity. This means WE set the exclusiveness. Sometimes the bidders will not be happy. If Fox/Kayo don't come to a RECORD, RECORD deal and f*ck with us, all exclusively is up for grabs. Chop and change, even Nine has to pay much, much more for the deal they have now, if not take away SOS and sell separately.

There's no country in the Pacific as big as PNG and no country supports Union in the numbers that PNG support RL and it's not close.

Pacific TV deal being bigger than Australia's is a big call and sounds far fetched. However, PNG has their own team coming in and to be fair, until now I don't think any NRL administration has really tried to monetise it properly.

 

[Perth Red]

Only way PNG delivers a big tv deal is if we (Australian taxpayers) once again subsidies it through the now Telstra owned, Australian govt funded, Digicel network.
If youre relying on 5million PNG folk paying anything like decent PTV subscription rates youre going to be waiting a very very long time.
