Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[BuffaloRules]

I noticed that Chammas didn’t mention the inclusion of Monday night football in his new competition plans , which I assumed has been leaked straight through from the NRL…

Whilst this is better for crowds and turn around times … I’m surprised they didn’t pull this reign to milk more money from the broadcasters ? Maybe they think they are gunna get a good deal anyway ?

You have to be stoned out of your mind to claim that owning your own stadium in the inner city is a bad investment.

If the Sharks didn't own land they would be playing against the Gymea Gorillas instead of NRL. Owning land and selling it off i would say has been a major factor in what has kept them afloat.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Those Chammas conferences are embarrassing. You can’t split the clubs that unevenly. There’s a much fairer split across 4 groups.

I’ll assume NZ2 are team 20, and PNG goes ahead as 19, (as he did).


9 Sydney teams split across 3 conferences, 3 SEQ teams in the fourth.

A - Easts, Souths, Manly.
B - Parramatta, Penrith, Wests.
C - Canterbury, St George, Cronulla.
D - Brisbane, Redcliffe, Gold Coast.

Then split the 8 outlier teams accordingly.

A - Newcastle, Perth.
B - Canberra, Melbourne.
C - Auckland, Christchurch*
D - Townsville, Port Moresby.

There’s plenty enough rivalry games for the second round.

Andrew Dillon is one of the worst afl bosses Ever. At a time when rugby league has its best boss

This talk of the afl tv rights falling in value and pay tv hugely overpaying are a huge blow for them

Sydney conference will be used to get local team in grand final eventually

I think the biggest advantage the NRL has is that we have so many avenues for growth that the AFL doesn’t. They’re far closer to saturation than we are.

The first big advantage to me going forward is the length of our games. Traditionally the AFL having longer games helped them get more money, more opportunities for advertising etc. Now as both comps expand the AFL is going to struggle to find times to play all their games without either going for dogshit timeslots or overlapping games especially if they want to ditch Thursday nights. This makes expansion less valuable.

The NRL doesn’t have this problem, we can definitely accomodate more timeslots as we expand without overlapping. This means our future expansions can bring in significantly more ratings than AFL expansions.

Also we can still expand into big significant markets. The AFL is looking to expand into Tasmania and putting another team into a saturated Perth market. NRL on the other hand still has multiple new big markets it can and is expanding to.

The womens game also looks like a potentially large growth area especially SOO which gives us a huge leg up over other sports in this country.

The last one which I hope the NRL will continue to push into is international footy. There is so much potential for growth here and it kinda feels like maybe the NRL is warming up to that.

I’m not one of these numpties who think the AFL is dying or any of this shit but I do think right now the NRL has a lot more potential growth and that has to be appealing when it comes to TV deals. Kinda feels like the first time since probably the super league war where it feels like the NRL genuinely might have the upper hand (though I don’t want to get cocky, things change quick).

The women’s game is a potentially large growth area especially SOO which gives us a huge leg up over other sports in this country.

When we move to a 20 team comp … I think there are going to be issues for the NRLW to get some clear air to show some games … there is pretty much going to be Men’s games wall to wall Thursday’s through Sunday Night

 

[Iamback]

NRLW needs to get a stand alone timeslot somewhere. If it can't be a Spring/summer comp, then it needs to mid week but that is harder because of the women having jobs

Maybe Monday nights …I’d be cautious moving the season …. Doesn’t seem to be working for the other game ….

On another note …looks like the 20 game season idea didn’t last too long …. ?Money talks at the end of the day

Teams are scoring 7 points in a full game in the other game, standard of play would have something to do with it.

NRLW has the potential but it is very expensive for it's midday Saturday/Sunday timeslot and won't grow if fans can't watch it at good times.

It is was always a stupid idea. I think the bigger teams are fine but GC and NQ for example need to be playing the extra home games for their bottom lines.

It would be great for the game but players won't want less money, clubs sell memberships based on 12 games.

Can sell off home games to other areas. Losing home games affects the bottom line

100% agree with this. Either play it before the NRL season or after.

Selfishly I would love the NRLW to be played during the spring/summer as I'm not a Cricket/Soccer fan and I want something to follow during this time.

He had said previously by the end of the year. I don’t see how they go to broadcasters without first having answers for competition structure, which we assume they don’t have yet. I really think that given all the balls the nrl are juggling atm they are severely under resourced, the admin needs to grow with the game.

I’d go as far saying he’s even worse. At least when we had our duds we were still living within the budget envelope. AFL has the opposite at the moment. Got the money and they’ll never get it again, but their operating model is based on continued growth of that money (which won’t happen)

In addition to the land they own a licence club at Kareela profitable , a property in the Main Street of Cronulla . Because of this asset backing they will now be going ahead with the new leagues club at6 the groundwhich will mean ground capacity increased 16-17k.

19 million cash at bank to pay for the lc refurb

Plus don’t they own a gym at the ground that’s leased out independently?

Including the land value of the ground the sharks would have an asset backing close to 150 million to 200 million

Their Italian ceo is one of the better ones at club level even if many are muppets

They have 5.6m in cash and equivelants, including Cash at bank of 5.275m
13.835m in investments.
They have 53m in assets.



The club at Kareela
The Gym (reillys) is at 94 Cronulla Street.
The Stadium at 461 Captain Cook drive


[OH! does this mean when we talk about Marvel Stadium we can talk about land value there now?]

So the leagues club they are spending 19 milllion fitting out has zero value with all those pokies bars and restaurants

Leave this to me I got this

And land in Cronulla has gone up. It’s not docklands
