What deal did NRL get rid of Foxtel's first and last rights clause?

another thing that is overlooked.

It didn't happen BUT if Foxtel offered $1 and no one offered anything. Then that is the tv deal, So it is hard to say NRL undervalued the rights when market factors were in play.

first and last didnt stop others bidding, it just meant Fox had the option to bid more than anyone else.

No but if they did...
Foxtel beats it and gets the rights.

So therefore IF another network was offering huge numbers Fox either matches or NRL takes it

So Fox paid market price at the time, which was where it was due to RL's issues

Jeeze that’s embarrassing

What’s the excuse for such bad fta ratings

No wonder why channel seven is close to going broke
Kinda shocked how high those ratings are tbh. As you said the game was well and truly over by half time and I know heaps of people who just stopped watching (and it’s not like panthers are a massive rating team either). Those are phenomenal ratings for a match that doesn’t seem like that big of a draw on the surface.

nrl beat ch7: ch7 will be very unhappy
ch7 beat nrl: ch7 will be underwhelmed

you should be trumps press secretary!
Channel seven is paying 140 million for a sport which is getting poor ratings

For the same amount they could have origins and the nrl club comp

Five city metros don’t count for much when most of those metros are small

Been saying this all along. "Only two states" means nothing when Queensland is bigger than WA, SA and TAS combined and NSW is bigger than Victoria - lol
