    Next TV rights deal

    :lol: I thought they weren't included, now it's 'not always'... The NRL won't buy back the Saturday game from 9 unless Fox make it substantially worth their while.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    Wasn't that in the context of acting-ceo? Grant said they set the administration up for an internal transition in mind & hoped they would apply. Grant also made a point of saying the next phase would be a focus on grassroots, which implies a skill set with knowledge of sports administration.

    I didn't get that impression at all.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    can't see it, but the narcissist is probably missing the limelight.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    Smith was hired to modernise & upskill the games administration & governance, and get the games finances in order, he was always going to make a lot of enemies doing that, that's why it was never going to be a long tenure. The next guy can be the diplomat.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    Smith was probably always going once the rights deals were finalised, but both Smith and the ARLC probably came to the conclusion that News would drag it out for another 2.5yrs with Smith there and neither wanted to wait that long.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    The TV deal will be finished before anyone is appointed imo, Samuel will just take over negotiations. It's pretty funny, News Corp is back on the Greenberg for CEO bandwagon, just as they were when Gallop was sacked, yet in the years between he was bagged and called on to resign. They obviously...

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    You can't isolate the FTA deal to Smith, it had to be signed off on by the ARLC, and it's highly likely the rights strategy was as well.

    Suzanne Young has a better chance than Greenberg imo.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    I don't understand why people suddenly expect News Corp to have any influence on who the ARLC appoint as CEO.

    He would never do it.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    That pommy reporter sounded like Darren davidson, Lachlan Murdoch's puppet that works for the Australian.

    Todd Greenberg Appointed NRL CEO

    Smith owned the news Corp journo who kept going on and on about the to deal when he said 1.7bn is the number you keep putting on it.

    Reckon Grant pushed him.

    Panthers's Terminate Cleary's Contract

    There goes McFadden's job, hook is a weird one, I know Gould rates him but he also talks up Garth Brennan.

    Next TV rights deal

    The delayed game still rates respectably for that time of night, Nine can package ad spots across both live games and then still pack the delayed game full of ads. Saturday's are a bit of a dead zone for FTA.

    Next TV rights deal

    I am only speculating, but why not, Smith already indicated Nine were looking at a multichannel strategy around Friday nights, looking to get the delayed game on live on Gem. I don't buy into the whole family friendly slots bs, the games we have on now during daytime ostensibly don't draw...

    Next TV rights deal

    If expansion were to happen during the next deal the time slot for the 9th game would likely be a return to Friday double headers, which would allow Nine to willingly give up Saturday nights. Seems like pretty good motivation for fox to convince the NRL to expand.
