    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    Of course he would, I haven't seen them say they want every game I doubt their existing contract allows them to broadcast NRL and AFL at the same time. Monday night on ch7 solves that but PVL has said he prefers one FTA. Even if they went down that route, You usually get GC v Newcastle or...

    Week 2 Trial Vs Tigers

    It will have to be, the 4th guy is getting 15 mins maybe. 2 others sitting there not playing. Every 3-4 weeks you would have to rotate those guys

    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    FTA as it stands now, generally doesn't make money. If you go breaking that up it makes the bludger games mid season worth being covered. Especially as TV doesn't pick the games now

    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    PVL himself said they would be looking at 1 FTA network... Ch7 are no chance as a result

    Week 2 Trial Vs Tigers

    For me, We have Jenkins in waiting. We have Sorro once again injured. Garner ageing. I would rather go with 4 forwards. Jenkins and Cogger to cover halves as the bench

    Week 2 Trial Vs Tigers

    I would like a super sub type thing come in, Not sure how you would do it. Teams have too much sameness for me, and explosive player off the bench adds something to the game

    Week 2 Trial Vs Tigers

    Yeah that where the new rule sucks, we need number 45 but in NRL. Like the old days he plays in every grade

    Week 2 Trial Vs Tigers

    Coaches won't though. Say Edgar is in the 19. He won't be in the 17 but if Edwards does any injury he can play. 18th man was only if HIA failed

    Week 2 Trial Vs Tigers

    The rule isn't for an impact player or they would make one an replacement not interchange. It is to make it easier to cover an injury, The NRL hate blow outs

    Week 2 Trial Vs Tigers

    No worse than normal. Say we played interstate we would take 19. The 3 Ivan don't play, will take it in turns rotating in and out of the side

    Week 2 Trial Vs Tigers

    Casey played on Sunday. Smart to not play him. Ivan learnt from the shit show of last year, players need to trial

    2026 TV and Streaming Ratings thread

    The week after the GF. The Kiwi guys can use it as a warm up for the tests coming up. The pre season is too crowded for people to care

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    These are a few years old. As of 2024, They have 4.5m subscribers here or 1/5 of the population That is without dropping $50m on 1 NRL game a week While I agree that this quick maths won't be accurate An NRL game you can get 1m people. Using the 1/5 calculation 200k of the NRL average...

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    You think 500,000 people will pay for Amazon just for one game When FTA has the same production?

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Where are the producers, commentary team etc in that number? The NRL needs to produce the games centrally and on sell the games. That then makes it possible to go down that road

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    Amazon do that yes, they need an audience of 11m to run that game as a positive. Even then every team has their own production to limit the logistics for Amazon. We don't have the population here to make it viable

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    If you are Netflix for example. It isn't viable to have say Monday night games only. So if you can't sell individual games off, then the rise will be less

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    You brought up Moses, So let's use him. He doesn't have the best motor, So that 8/10 is probably dropping to a 6/10 after 45 mins. Broncos had Ezra off the bench, is a tired 6/10 Moses better than a 7/10 fresh reserve to stop him?

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Where did I say I did? Ivan did what he thought was right at the time but they would of looked into the season and would be looking for improvement. Any team that doesn't win the comp, reviews the season and looks for improvement. You contradict yourself, You say the side run out of steam but...

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Because you are being an idiot for the sake of being an idiot. We did and it didn't work, hence this conversation started
