Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[BuffaloRules]

You think Netflix will pay more next time IF their ratings drop? From where they sit now?

I’ll leave that hypothetical for you to worry about

Yet you are adament the deal will certainly go up.

Part of weighing up the risks of slicing it up, Is fans not following the game across to every streamer

In that scenario where does it leave the next deal

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.

Going in with Perth as the extra team with no extra game will be a huge boost for the tv deal

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

Nrl fans … Pvl is mates with the murodchs and sold the tv rights cheap to his mates

Also nrl fans … Pvl is trying to get too much for the next tv deal and fans will have to pay more

if it’s $10 on Amazon, $10 on Disney/EPSN then I’m still the winner, as Kayo is costing me $27/mth

Both of those are currently higher than that now

Should buy a digital membership for a club, will only cost you $20 a month!

NRL would have to do in house production too which eats into the profit. PNG for example won't be cheap to do.

So we will see where it ends up, Easy to drop names in but Netflix for example hasn't been publicly quoted

The Netflix stuff is obvious bullshit. No quotes other than pvl name-dropping them, but we already know Netflix's sport strategy, and it's not buying some unknown comp. It's buying massive events.

 

[Maximus]

Foxtel average is 650 to 670k across Foxsports and kayo and growing

That’s the hardcore base and assuming some people don’t watch all games you would think 1 million would be solely for nrl

And another 500k to one million somewhat for nrl

So once again you are claiming they are committing fraud on the financials they are submitting? The subscription numbers are publicly available information, and your numbers are bullshit.

These articles do no favours because the NRL wants to reduce rounds. So you aren't adding content to what we have now then getting the $600m quoted is impossible.

If the game gets say $450m for 20
Rounds. It is an increase on per Round but is far short of the figures quoted.

Articles like the above make it seem like a failure when it is the opposite to get Origin stand alone and more tests.

Too many unknowns for stupid articles like this
