Why not allow 3 games that are already on FTA and add One extra for a total of 4 games, which would be appealing to young families who are inclined to buy a subscription for the kids anyway. It' an attraction.

Then you only have 5 games to sell to a different streaming service. Not to mention asking fans to subscribe to two streaming services to watch all nrl games. there Is big value to ptv in exclusivity to drive subscriptions.
You don't need two subscriptions Kayo will always have all 8/9 games , silly.
It not hard, you sell the same game(s) to 2 streamers. Ie One streamer has the right to 4 games ( obviously non exclusive) while another has all the games. ie DANZ. The NRL decides this as it's their product. Obviously Kayo/Foxtel want all games and if they pay very big, you get it, if NOT we sell to multiply streamers, remember we decide (NRL are the product owners) the exclusivity. Whether that's Paramount+ or ESPN. They can for sure have a minor package, if we don't get what we want out of DANZ. In fact the President /CEO of Paramount Global or Disney Australasia that delivers this will be well rewarded. Remember Disney+ which also owns and shows ESPN in Australia AND, AND New Zealand.
Why would you subscribe to watch 4 games on a service if you can subscribe to a different service and watch all the games?
Because some think by giving multiple FTA and PTV providers a slice of the action is going to make the NRL more money and more importantly that the public is willing to pay for multiple subscriptions just to watch 1 or 2 games on each provider.
Price point … potentially
Maybe you got kids which want to watch Disney, so it's a added bonus and since you are the 'payer' 'it's all good', that's why.
Why not 2 games for twenty each, $40 m pa, as is always said on this website the commentary gets tiring most of the time, it would be good to get anther commentator crew in?
Seven has been promoting it too
Yeah I know, there was an extended interview (and piece on the Kangaroos) with Isiah Yeo out front of 10 Downing street by a Channel 7 reporter who said something like " all Aussie`s are looking forward to the Ashes". Fumbles HQ will be on the phone pronto.
Something is definitely afoot, why else would they bother, unless they see it as the beginning of their promo for next year`s WC.If the game keeps growing I could see it actually being fairly valuable. A full pacific cup that involves Australia/NZ/Tonga/Samoa might not be as good as the World Cup but honestly I could see it garnering fairly similar levels of interest overall. If it keeps growing like it seems to be there actually might be a bit of value there.
In that situation nrl isn’t driving your purchasing decision so where’s the value to Disney?
