    Next TV rights deal part 2

    My opinion is as objective as yours & I think anyone would have to acknowledge that the deal is a long way from terrible..

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    The Nine deal locked in a guaranteed $925m, whether it was paid by Nine or Fox, the NRL wouldn't have agreed to buy the game back from Nine unless it generated a significant uplift in the value of the unsold rights, which would have been a negotiation between the NRL & Newscorp. I think the NRL...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Nine did have to sell the Saturday game back to the NRL, it's in their release to the ASX. It was worth more to fox, the Saturday game made the other games more valuable, so it's not just a case of saying Fox paid $35m p.a. for it.

    gave the NRL rights deal 30sec at the end with zero analysis. I guess it's an improvement from when the NRL did the FTA deal and they didn't even mention it.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    It was announced as $1.8bn because it is $1.8bn, Newscorp disclosed it as $1.8bn to the asx! Moron

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Digital rights will probably play a much bigger part in the NZ deal than before, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11467422

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    You really are a simpleton, naming rights are worth at most 10m pa. Nine 625m + News/Telstra 1.175bn (incl. $50m naming rights) = $1.8bn Moron

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Same sort of nonsense they were shovelling about the AFL deal and NSW & QLD - but for some reason they stopped short of dreams of AFL internationally... Victorians won't like that.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Because they haven't decided to expand yet?! Drr! That there's value in expansion, namely a second Brisbane side, is accepted, which is why there's an option for it included in the new contract, but they aren't making the decision solely based on money but also the impact it will have on the...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Six months ago we would all be jumping up and down about the prospect of a deal getting close to or exceeding the much vaunted $2bn figure. I think because it became such a big saga it set us up to be disappointed by some unrealistic expectations of securing a pound of flesh from Newscorp...

    If it's a poor deal the clubs will make it known, don't think they will though.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    The only change that could be argued deserves compensation is the friday 6pm game, and the ARLC have obviously decided it's better than a monday game and it also only comes into effect in the final year of the current deal. The other changes arguably all benefit the game and they are things we...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    How is it an unfair turnaround advantage for the Warriors when most of the time it would be only every second week, and the travel the Warriors do more than negates that.

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    Of course simulcasting is an advantage for the NRL, it's exposure across more platforms, just by example those in Adelaide didn't get games even on GEM until after midnight and they didn't even have the option of paying for the privilege, now they do, that helps grow the game. It will end up...

    Next TV rights deal part 2

    nothing is an exaggeration, control of schedule, simulcasting, nrl channel, 4 fta games in final 5rds, 2bn. Friday 6pm is the cost, I don't like it but I can live with it.
