    If perth is such a can't miss home run for nrl expansion..?!

    To get a better stadium deal you have to kick in a few million yourself as a competition, the NRL are too lousy to do that, so the clubs suffer through high rentals.

    If perth is such a can't miss home run for nrl expansion..?!

    News. Ltd can say they are onboard, like they did to the AFL on the suns and giants. Then basically ran them into the ground through their newspapers in nsw and qld and news.com.au etc. by using all the code wars/invasion stuff. I honestly think news like the status quo of league in NSW and...

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    Just thinking in the 'catching up' terms though. Say the extra game is +30 mill, on top of what has already been given as +20 mill for the dolphins. For the next contract that is something like + 30 NRL. However, the AFL are going to bring in Tasmania (Just looking that's slated as 2027) when...

    Yeah that makes sense, it wouldn't be a simple double coz some extra value would also be added by the extra timeslot. Content is king.

    How much will a 9th game add. Wouldn't it be another 20 mill per year? You are only adding 12 extra games not 24.

    Just assuming it's another Melbourne but 3x smaller. I've been to Perth a number of times never saw any league presence there, but you may be right. I feel like New Zealand 2 would be better for producing more players.

    How many in Victoria? They produce next to zero players for the competition and storm have been around over 20 years.

    Perth? It's a million miles away and nobody even plays the game over there, what's the point? You need to put a team in a place where you can get some players from.

    The Dolphins brand, jersey, merch etc

    This is what happens when you give the design to some marketing idiots that don't know sports. It happens with all expansion sides.

    Yeah mate, you are smarter than the CEO's and execs of all of Australia's major tv networks and their team of thousands that go over the statistics and data that we don't even see. Where do you work out of interest? On cricket it has about 1/10th the yearly content of the football seasons...

    2022 NRL ratings

    What I've been saying for years is ratings plummet when it's not a close game, we saw that with both grand finals because the casual viewer switches off and ratings are done on average viewers. The NRL have an advantage here because the games are shorter so averages are higher, but the...

    I swear you are the NRL's curse on league unlimited. Every single year.

    I don't think the NRL would be willing to walk away from news ltd. The AFL weren't even willing to do that. All of a sudden you'd see all your local and national news coverage of the game shrink. Rupert has done it previously to other sports. Whilst paramount might put in a decent offer, will 9...

    I think you owe PR an apology. For ages you have been potting the bloke and yesterday proved he was right all along and you were wrong. Still can't admit it though, hilarious 😅

    Gill the dill? Known as the best sports negotiator in Australia and the best negotiator Richard Goyder (chairman of Qantas and the AFL and previous head of wesfarmers) has ever seen in the business world. You can see why they wanted him to stick around to negotiate these rights. I hope...

    There has always been a reason why Vlandy's has the media absolutely loving him, it's pretty obvious isn't it. The NRL indirectly pays for the positive media he gets from his mates.

    I believe shareholders in 7 and foxtel would riot if they knew their CEO and chairman allowed a sporting body to over inflate and give incorrect figures right in front of their faces on national television. It simply, would not happen and would be a terrible look for both 7 and foxtel if it...

    Lol so we are to believe that at a press conference with the ch7 owner Kerry stokes and foxtel ceo Patrick Delaney, that they were happy to sit there as the AFL wielded out made up figures that their companies were paying for the new rights? 🤣. Wow, just... wow.
