    They won’t. Most have Kayo or foxtel atm. They’ll just go to the game, a pub or mates place to watch it if they don’t have Kayo/Foxtel. They are too loyal to their clubs to let this deal make them stop watching. Plenty said the same over the years when South Melbourne moved to Sydney and...

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    We all seem to comprehend what’s happened except the ones off with the fairies. Roy Masters article clearly says afl cash deal is better by at least $100m and at best $170m a year. Roy seems to infer his source in NRL says $100m while a conflicting source (most likely AFL or a disgruntled NRL...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Was also unsuccessful in getting ANZ stadium upgraded. Then pivoted to local grounds and failed to secure the $800m in government funding. I’m pretty sure Gil never lost $800m in government funding for the AFL. A man like Gil would have had these government funding deals put in writing - not...

    The redevelopment of Marvel has nothing to do with Telstra as far as I’m aware. AFL received Government funding for it. The technology upgrades are seperate to the redevelopment and as you say deal with...

    TV ratings that should lead to something like … hmmm I don’t know… maybe a much better TV rights deal?? You know one that doesn’t leave the AFL at least $500m better off in the 2020-27 period…

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    The headline don’t really match up with his article, which clearly highlights the flaws in NRL re-negation strategy during COVID. His article calls out each codes “rubbery” figures when it comes to cash and contra. However, Masters still concedes the AFL will receive between $100m to $170m...

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    I mean Packer used to say “you only get one alan bond in your lifetime”… I’m pretty sure Murdoch is saying “I get an alan bond every 5 years when I negotiate NRL TV rights”. What an absolute disaster

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    And PVL dont spin?? Cmon on man live in reality… NRL - not even 12 months ago negotiated the following (and even have NZ to sell to) “all three of its domestic media rights partners – Nine, Fox Sports and Sky TV New Zealand – now locked in until 2027, the NRL is set to receive more than a...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    Haha I've been 100% vindicated and you know it. So this is a summary of how negotiations went: Nine to NRL - "There is no longer a contract because NRL can't deliver 25 rounds etc in 2020. We will save $130m in 2020 if we don't broadcast the NRL in 2020. So we have no contractual obligation...

    $64m savings for 2020?? What?? If that's legit then Nine save: - 2020 $64m - 2021 $27.5m - 2022 $27.5m A total saving for Nine of $119m. That's a phenomenal deal for Nine. Imagine what you could do for grassroots league with $119m. Remember when the NRL tried to pin the future money for...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    According to the Australian "Nine told the Australian Stock Exchange that the expected to save $27.5m in each of 2021 and 2022 - and an even greater amount this season". So let me get this right... the NRL were quoted as saying "There is a contract in place, a legally binding contract..." and...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    Sorry? How so? Haha I’ve not failed to understand anything contractual. Technically it’s an enterprise agreement but yeah you know all don’t you cactus. The NRL made a board decision to go with one ref, made a definitive decision at a board meeting and yet the NRL had time to leak to news Ltd...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    It’s not your job on the line though is it? So the notion of referees getting above their station seems a little far fetched to me. That’s the easy out to claim refs think they are bigger than the game. They are employees of the NRL. No one forced the NRL to sign the EBA. But they did, and are...

    https://www.fwc.gov.au/documents/documents/agreements/fwa/ae503608.pdf You make some valid points in that the EBA provides the NRL to use full time referees in any capacity they decide under clause 5.2. The problem for the NRL is that clause 28 requires the NRL to consult referees about any...

    Which goes to show what I been saying, once NRL couldn’t produce a 25 round season SOO in June/July - the 2018-2022 media contract wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on. NRL been lying to the masses... oh my the shock the horror... I’m clutching at my pearls.... this whole thing is all about...
