    NRL faces major turmoil as clubs threaten breakaway league

    That's what the RLPA are aiming for under the next CBA, but if successful that won't come into effect until 2018.

    2017 Draw

    Poor timeslot's lead to poor crowds, poor crowds result in poor atmosphere, poor atmosphere makes for bad games, bad games generate lower ratings, lower ratings mean smaller broadcast deals, smaller broadcast deals means lower player salaries, and before you know it you're the ARU. The NRL...

    NRL faces major turmoil as clubs threaten breakaway league

    The current agreements expire at the end of 2017, which means if these perpetual licenses aren't signed off before then clubs are free to do what they want. Because its a perpetual license both sides need to get it right, but I don't think some clubs are the bargaining chip they think they are...

    NRL faces major turmoil as clubs threaten breakaway league

    $360m is only the Australian rights revenue, it doesn't include the NZ/international/radio rights revenue nor the ~$130m+ a year non broadcast revenue. So realistically the game will have revenues in excess of $500m. As part of the funding discussions the ARLC committed to spending an...

    NRL faces major turmoil as clubs threaten breakaway league

    They signed a MoU, they are arguing over the detail of the final license agreement.

    NRL faces major turmoil as clubs threaten breakaway league

    Players aren't going to boycott origin games as long as they are getting paid $30k to play. The whole thing is just another tantrum from the same Sydney chairman who go running to the telegraph threatening breakaway competition over the latest thing that they don't get their way on. It's been...

    It's contracted for Nine to have 18 broncos games each season.

    2017 Draw

    We wouldn't know what Sky have paid because the NRL didn't even release a press statement announcing a deal had been agreed to, despite sky announcing to the market that a deal had been made. Makes you wonder why the NRL would be so quiet about a Tv deal worth at least $100 million dollars to...

    2017 Draw

    Makes you wonder if it's designed to fail so News Corp can start campaigning for the return of Monday night football as a 'compromise'.

    Offsiders

    No interest in international rugby league? Last weeks sold out test in Perth was the number one program on FTA in Australia, rating 850k in metros and peaked at 1.7 million nationally. Offsiders spoke about it for less than 30 seconds. By comparison, the bledisloe cup last night rated 414k in...

    NRL and A-League TV Audiences

    super rugby outrates a-league in a cripple fight, they aren't in the same stratosphere as the NRL. The NRL gets more broadcast revenue in a year than the a-league gets in 5 years, and that's the old NRL TV deal.

    The Back Page is an utter disgrace

    looks like Starc has a third-party deal with the AFL, no way hes not getting paid for that.

    GF viewing figures

    6.5m is reach over the entire day long telecast, not peak for the grand final itself. Nine didn't report a reach figure for its grand final day telecast. It's a pointless measurement because it measures a unique viewer on the basis of minimum of 1 minute viewing, over a day long broadcast its...

    Why does Sydney media hate rugby league?

  17. I

    Our radio rights dream dashed for the moment.

    Greenberg wants to keep the job, he is a politician & will try to please everyone and end up doing nothing. Smith, while he had his faults, didn't give a f**k about who he was upsetting. Wish we could get a happy medium. Hopefully this license agreement will legislate some authority for the NRL.

    Our radio rights dream dashed for the moment.

    Sacrifice the dollars and allow any station that wants the rights to call it, or at least have some games each round non-exclusive. It's absurd that because these stations want the rights for southern states it is forced to broadcast in northern markets that have absolutely no interest in it...
