18th club, whose next?

I think mate one thing NZ2 has going for it that the Aussie teams don't is a potential increase in Sky NZ money.

All expansion teams (including any potential NZ team) will help the NRL get an Aussie TV deal boost because of the extra content. But it's only NZ2 alongaide the Warriors that will drive an increase from NZTV.

A factor that the NRL will no doubt be keenly aware of and may offset any 'licence fee' discrepancy between The Jets and NZ2, if indeed there is any discrepancy at all.

Careful there - the NZ TV market doesn't have the same degree of competition that Australia does - there's no pay TV competitor for Sky, and free to air just won't have the cash.

There's word that TVNZ may be looking at a Pay TV service of their own, but honestly good luck to them taking on the might of Sky when Spark Sport have tried before & failed.

Given that Sky is likely to be in a monopoly situation for the next TV rights negotiation - they really have the upper hand, don't they?
