Where are you pulling this $15 figure from?

Ch9 pay $115m. Orign is worth $50m ( this makes 80% of the FTA profit)

Meaning the NRL regular FTA brings in $65m - everyone of those games is shown live on Fox. Ch9 want to have exclusive games next deal.

AFL has more FTA games, games that overlap. 90% of games are exclusive to ch7 in the market. For example Swans and GWS are exclusive to ch7.

So the 2 aren't like for like
I wasn't sure what the actual number was so I was guestimating. So if the number is $115M and Origin is responsible for 80% of the broadcast deal, then the Origin figure is $90M, leaving $25M as the supposed value of the NRL comp. A little more than my $15M guess, but still an obviously ridiculous figure.

NRL Comp only: $25M (no Origin) and at worst rates just as well as the AFL. The quote is bullshit and gets tossed around liberally after Gus said it who is notoriously full of shit

Gus, a C9 employee, would have a vested interest in talking down the TV rights of the club competition.

He is a snake

Gus always speaks highly of Nine and has previously said that Rugby League wouldn't be in the position it's in if it wasn't for Nine. Personally I wouldn't trust his opinion with anything regarding broadcast rights.
His conflict of interest is self evident. Nine have held back league for decades and are only now realising the true value of the game.

I am happy to bag out ch9, Ch7 and Ch10 have had the option to bid.

IF ch9 was on unders why hasn't another FTA network outbid them?

I find it hard to believe they will spend all that money buying Foxtel just to lose its arguably most important asset. I think it will a matter of how far Stan is willing to go.
Only an idiot or an afl fan would think otherwise

3.5 billion in value and a majority of that comes from having the rights to the nrl

Nine bidding for the pay tv rights is their t nightmare

Not since the super league war have the pay tv rights had more than one bidder
