Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[The_Wookie]

I don't know about that, the last two years we have been neck and neck over $$$.

Which assumes other incomes in the licensing category stood still while broadcast grew. Thats a big assumption. And we dont really know where they were in the first place

There was an $80m jump in that category last year. $50m for TV seems reasonable

If Sky low ball the NRL, it may be a good chance to trial going direct with Watch NRL in NZ.
Surely there is a NEP equivalent who would produce the 12 warriors games at a competitive price.

But according to you they can’t afford to be paying 70 million more with their current profits and the state of the advertising market

Where did I say they can't pay more?

once again comprehension isn't a strong suit of yours.

What I said was they won't have an open cheque book.

No one is in a position to get into to bidding war to get anyone to pay overs.

So there will be an increase but a $450m to a $500m jump being just over 10% on a 5 year deal is on par with inflation which goes with almost every deal signed across this period.

Next deal we will be paying $50 or more for Kayo. So hence will cover any extra they are paying

3 extra teams plus the full value of the dolphins
Women’s origin
U19 origin
Pacific cup

For only a 70 million increase over a deal which everyone says was a poor one ?

And yet the afl are claiming a 50 percent increase in theirs ?

Maths doesn’t compute
