    There is no way we want 3 teams in Brisbane. Perth then Adelaide, PNG or maybe Sunshine Coast. I agree with the bit about working with government and not constantly bickering with them. I believe Melbourne have recently seen a negative population growth and no media company is going to ignore...

    Seven will do the same as Nein did this and last time by making a token gesture solely aimed at making their opposition pay more than they have to for the rights.

    Your being a touch negative and what's your alternative? Roll over and do nothing? I already see cars driving around Brisbane with Dolphins stickers on the back window and a few of my work associates have become Dolphins members in the last few months so I believe people underestimate the...

    We have to start somewhere. I believe junior Rugby League is going ok in Perth and the Western Reds were gaining supporters before they were cut after Superleague so possibly not as big a mountain to climb as you think. What's the alternative? Rolling over and doing nothing. The only positive...

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    Lets not forget in all the doom and gloom that $400 million a year is not to be sneezed at and the NRL just have to play the long game and get a new team up and running in Perth before the next deal is done. Hopefully they can also put some money and effort into junior football and co fund just...

    Have to disagree there. PVL rushed into signing a new long term deal without developing any competitive tension so virtually had to bend over and take what was offered by Nein and Fox. AFL outfoxed him by doing a 2 year deal then negotiating a massive upgrade when the problems with covid were...

    Odd question here Wookie but as an AFL fan why are you constantly posting on a Rugby League forum?

    Yet another WTF decision from the NRL.

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    I'm not saying they couldn't afford it as they certainly will have the extra coin to blow but as I stated a second team in Brisbane would be a financial black hole. Introducing the Suns halved the Lions crowds over night and showed how small the AFL following is in south east Queensland. Nine...

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    For the first time in my life I feel like Rugby League is a second rate football code in this country. Looks like our part time CEO did a part time job with our last rights deal. I can see the stupid look and shrug of the shoulders the next time an ARLC official comes across Patrick Delaney from...

    They could try for a second Brisbane team with this sort of coin but financially it would still be a disaster. Up until they started winning a season or so ago the Lions had been a financial black hole for over a decade in Brisbane and are only still around from constant propping up to the tune...

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    When this deal kicks in the AFL will obviously throw even more money at junior participation in NSW and QLD and the NRL have to divert funds from NRL clubs and start investing heavily in grass roots football. We need to copy AFL and cosy up to state governments and co fund improvements to junior...

    We can only hope your right and our next deal is a motza. Future management must be fully prepared to walk away from Fox and especially Nein unless their hands are deep into their pockets. I can't emphasise how important it is that if there is to be no competitive tension from Seven and or Fox...

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    Our game could certainly do with extra funds to expand the game into Perth and Adelaide. Having a quick look at Kayo estimates and the NRL seem to consistently beat the AFL so I don't understand how we constantly get lowballed on TV rights. I agree V'Landys must somehow be complicit with Fox for...
