How can you argue it doesn't look good for PVL without the ACTUAL figures though? It isn't that hard to understand.
From the article I posted above
NRL officials are convinced the AFL deal includes a large amount of contra, or non-cash benefits, such as free TV advertising. The Herald has also reported that the new AFL deal includes money from Telstra for the AFL-owned Marvel Stadium.
Wookie said contra is believed to be $80-$96m a year. That would qualify as a large amount of contra
Telstra is $50m a year
That leaves $550m that is being brought up including Telstra, Leaving $500m cash from TV/
However if you then have money from Telstra to do up Marvel then it brings that figure down further.
Have they? There was no issue until the $643m deal was announced, If they comes in lower then it is a different conversation
Actually I said that NRL officials believe it will be 5 or 6 times what the 16m it currently is. I personally think its ludicrous.
What we have is an NRL desperately trying to prove the AFL deal isnt as good as the AFL says, and NRL media and forum posters desperately trying to prove that not only is the AFL deal not as good as it says, but that the NRL deal is better than it appears.
Until someone conclusively proves otherwise im running with the 4b cash and 643m a year total as announced for the AFL. And the "more than 400m pa" for the NRL. Its all we know from the governing bodies themselves.
