Fracturing the rights for the NRL club games might be good for $$, but it will hurt us as the fan, and affect ratings etc.

It makes sense to sell Origin standalone though.

I think the chance of Amazon or Netflix buying the rights to the club competition is low. But they might go balls deep for a simulcast Origin with a FTA partner.

BUT, why are we talking rights when the number of clubs is still fluid?

Because the TV deal might be fluid pending on the amount of clubs and games?

They are trying to get wa sorted so they can begin negotiations. Going in with just PNG to offer isn’t much value add.

Afl promised to deliver a national Comp. It hasn’t nobody watches it in 53 percent of Australia
There is an AFL team in 5 states and soon to be in Tasmania. That just leaves the ACT and NT with no team. Just wondering what you deem constitutes a national comp and what % of the population have to watch it to be considered national.

I think they need to speak to TV with different options, Then finalise that to then start serious talks
