Good point about ten

I’ve never thought they would bid

They did offer afl 600 million pa so if they offer that for nrl it will be interesting how nine and dazn respond

Nine and fox losing rugby league could be a good thing both their coverage is a bit stale or in nines case just embarrassing

Out of interest was there any particular reason why you think that 10 won`t bid on the NRL broadcast rights.
I know that you`re not a massive fan of the Perth bid but given the article mentions the importance of cross-promotion between FTA and streaming services, which is probably the only way FTA will survive, I would have that only underlines the importance of the NRL having minimum one team in all our capital cities so that we get channel`s like 10 bidding.

Regards the coverage, I don`t find Kayo coverage too bad, Nine, yeah you`re right, apart from a couple of bright spots like Slater, I don`t mind Freddy, the rest are god-damn awful.
One thing interesting though which shows they maybe not beyond help, I saw both Cherry-Evans and Papenhausen interviewed at the Oz open, the sort of players who present an intelligent respectable face to our game and who we want to see being promoted by Nine on their other high rating programmes, I like to think they were both there as guests of Nine specifically so they could be used in a bit of cross-promotion. Dream on... maybe.

Ten didn’t bid last time for the nrl showed no interest then bid for the afl

I think seven at least showed interest bidding for origin with Foxtel even though it was lowball

I think nine are our best chance for competition in the tv rights. They get how important league is to their network

Having Amanda Laing there as boss of broadcasting being an ex commissioner is an excellent sign of how important they see league

Huge step up from the days Eddie McGuire was nine boss or even Hugh marks he was awful

Lol, all of a sudden Amanda Laing is wbtiktok's best mate.

alwaysloser, just can’t help himself. Wb says nothing of the sort but alwaysloser needs the attention.

Can`t win with you Red, if they had three you`d be saying 4`s a minimum.
Buying and selling cattle I`ve been to thousands of auctions, trust me you only need two, especially if they are keen.

you should know by now that whatever Perthwrongs says will end up being wrong. Dude can’t help himself making statements that always come up wrong.

Thanks mate, that`s a good point about Laing, it`s not uncommon for companies to bring people on board who have expertise in areas they are interested in and have served in senior roles accordingly.
