2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

[Colk]

But would they bring in the TV dollars?

They would bring in more than say an additional Sydney side, so it is relative.

 

[Perth Red]

But would they bring in the TV dollars?

Yep, metro markets is what tv wants. One of the reasons we remain even further behind afl than ever.

Can you please stop publishing this revisionist bullshit?

There's no evidence to support your crazy claims.

In Neil Cadigan's book, 20 Years In The Saddle, North Queensland Cowboys 1995-2014, there's a chapter dedicated to the bidding process in 1992 and another one on why the Cowboys signed with Super League in March 1995. It thoroughly refutes the bullshit claims you're dressing up as fact. I've already posted transcripts of it in another thread. I can go take a screenshot of it to thoroughly expose your lies if you like?

It doesn't surprise me that the usual knuckledragging morons like your bullshit post.

Really dispstick? Go read Mike Coleman's book on the Super League war. Also as I knew people who worked for the NSWRL, the ARL and the NRL, I was privy to some interesting info at the time. So stick your stuff where the sun don't shine when you accuse me of being a liar!

 

[Captain Apollo]

What's John Quayle involvement in the game these days? Isn't he like 1000 years old?

I don't think he has any current formal role at all. Last formal involvement I can recollect is he was on the board of the Newcastle Knights a few years back.

Neil Cadigan's book quoted John Quayle on the event, FFS!

In case you don't know who who is, he ran the bloody NSWRL/ARL!

The NRL/ARLC endorsed Neil Cadigan's book, BTW.

Mike Coleman is a pissant journalist who wrongfully predicted rugby union would supplant rugby league 20 years' ago.

But you do you and believe whatever you like. I'll stick with the numerous sources close to the Cowboys and Reds who thoroughly refute and repudiate your crazy revisionist version of events.

Can you cite a credible and verifiable source that refutes the claims laid out in Neil Cadigan's book?

If so then provide it in full. Saying "Mike Coleman's book" or "I know people" isn't a credible and verifiable source.

What makes you think Mike Coleman would know more about what happened at the Cowboys than the management of the club who actually lived through the event?

I'll take the word of Laurie Puddy and Peter Cummins about what happened at the Reds over your BS "sources".

Neil Cadigan is a respected rugby league historian. The same cannot be said of Mike Coleman.

Tv rights thread!

Tv rights thread!

It ties into it as sources quoted in Cadigan's book point out Ch9 wanted a team in Perth for the timeslot it provided. We're lucky to have strong bids from Perth willing to fund the 18th licence in a new and important market to repair some of the damage created by V'landys' crooked deal.

Ashes tours and US fixture next year on NRL’s international agenda

An ARL Commission meeting on Wednesday could have ramifications for the promotion of the sport internationally.

www.smh.com.au

And there it is.

but hey afl can do a 3 match series vs Ireland in pseudo afl

oh and clubs want funding 5 million over the cap

the game truly is cashed up to do this

the end of season internationals include more teams than initially thought is Tonga samoa Fiji png nz and Australia

 

[Perth Red]

We are absolutely looking at it,” Abdo said. “Growth in the game in America is real for us, we believe rugby league is the best professional sport on the planet and an opportunity to take that to a market like America is enticing for us.

and we mocked afls China efforts lol. We can’t make nrl national in australia, the odds of making any dent in America? slim to none.

Criticism of World Cup competitiveness misses the point

There has been a lot of social media interaction regarding the international credibility of the Rugby League World Cup, but the misguided criticism comes from those who will never be fans of the great game anyway.

He should be trying to expand into Adelaide and Perth.

I suspect its little more than part of Pistol Petes vision to turn the NRL into a gambling product same as boxing and horseracing.

 

[Steel Saints]

Why not take an NRL game to Canada and revive the sport there, following the difficulties that Toronto Wolfpack faced during the pandemic.

All blacks beat America by like 100 or so didn’t they ? And they got over 30k

this World Cup is tracking pretty well

I think you're right. American betting companies are targeting Australia.

Doesn't V'landys know that betting is also big in SE Asia, China and India?

Staging games at Hong Kong and Macau should be on the agenda. It would be a chance for ARLC to promote the game to the local bookies and get a foot into the Australian market. It could generate a significant income stream for our game, as well as broadcast revenue.

I'd like to see long-term arrangements set up between the NRL and CFL. Target the schools and universities to get the game in the curriculum. Align Canadian clubs with Queensland Cup clubs to provide a pathway to the NRL.

I dont think people realize that NRL has no interests in it other than can it make a buck out of exposing the game to US gambling. Lets be honest they only fund NZRL $250k a year. How much do you think they would be willing to invest in Nth America??

So extra round of afl is being given to broadcasters under the new tv deal

apparently they did this for free
