10/ paramount would be a better option , breaks our relationship with 9 who have diddled the game every bit as much as foxtel has for just as long ...
But...
we will give it to whom ever pays what we're worth( finally)
The starting point for the Australian rights at 600 mill a year for all NRL games 9 a week.. all stars ..WCC
origin , NRLW, all internationals
the kiwis over the top of that ,50 mill a year for game 9 & maybe 60 mill if its NZ2
hell lets also throw in Telstra training some tech apprentices doing some wiring at the new stadium at Penrith for 50 mill a year too
depending on the bidding tension created between 10 .. 9 , their streaming services & foxtel , for foxtel its a bid they can't afford to lose because no NRL , no foxtel ..
, plus the kiwis , we could be looking at as much as 750 mill a year ... butta bing .... butta bang
