Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

Rugby league expanding internationally will end up getting a streaming service interested

If Vegas keeps growing it’s going to be a huge part of that int expansion

How many people would show up to a game in Vegas featuring a league / super rugby or fumblers ???

20 thousand Aussies, 10k Kiwis and 10k soap dodgers once a year isn't suddenly worth millions to TV

yep those 61k viewers in USA last year will have the global streaming services salivating lol

61k more viewers in the US than fumbleball

 

[Iamback]

This is true

But in a Country on 330m people. 61k is barely a trickle

How much is two games in Vegas worth? A couple of pineapples?

Are you more obtuse than normal

It’s about growing the international profile of the game from America, nz, png (yeh I know you don’t count them) etc

Plus perf

Haven’t you been saying for ages the nrl needs a team in perf ?

Now ones coming and you are implying it’s worth little to tv (plus bears)

No I'm specifically shitcanning you're wild claim that two games in Vegas annually make our sport "global"

You should get tunza to explain posts to you he seems to have better understanding

 

[Mother Nature's Son]

yep that 61k americans are going to be a big influencer

What`ll happen if this game gets 250 - 300k.
I`m all for being realistic but keep reminding yourself before you take the negative slant this is year two in a five-year venture.

Then it'll be a minor step forward. Haveing two games a year that draws any sort of audience in USA makes diddly squat difference to our tv rights. I mean imagine the conversation:

Netflix: So do you have any global reach?
Vlad: Yes we have a game in Vegas that gets 250k on Fox
Netflix: Great how many do the rest of the games a year get in USA?
Vlad: eh?
Netflix: bye.

Anyone know how many viewers the NRL gets on Bien sports ?

Ive heard Top 14 players say they watch NRL and the commentary is re dubbed in French.

They must get half decent viewership to go to that much effort…


… although maybe it’s to save anyone outside Australia being forced to listen to mat Thompson, no one deserves that.

Can’t be much

The tv deal is for zero dollars and not sure of bein pay the production costs or Catalans do

Should’ve had a paying French tv deal by now
