I don’t know how you are coming to that conclusion based on history and trends

1. 2021 was the most horrendous year of football in recent memory. If you recall, we had several articles and people on social media bemoaning the quality of those games.
2. In that same year, the quality didn’t improve or adjust, the beatings continued throughout the year so much so that they altered the rules to improve the game.
3. Once they altered the rules, the game improved. The game was still fast but it was significantly more competitive.
4. Despite the game improving and with essentially nobody calling for a return of six agains, V’Landys has decided to go back to the very same rules that made the competition worse

Essentially there was nothing to adjust. The rules were fine and if history shows, the quality isn’t magically going to improve. In fact, it will probably get worse as more and more soft tissue injuries decimate squads.

To regress to those rules makes no sense but to regress to those rules in the middle of a TV negotiation is insanity.

V’Landys needs to go - good on him for what he has done but he has completely lost it.

Ratings will tell the story

I love league but if the world goes to shi.. the next NRL tv deal isn't the first thing in my mind
It would be rotten luck for consecutive tv deals to cop Covid and a major me war

Pvl did delay things to get England involved when war in Iran has been on the cards for months

Not like the war will involve Australia other than economically (which it already is via oil shortages)

Doesn't appear much of a plan to this war. Likely done to cover up Epstein files and stories being confirmed by different sources. I don't know how you predict that?!

They moved their aircraft carriers and other assets there. There’s good accounts on x I follow that update this stuff. They thought it would be a two day thing lol

I was pretty sure they would hit the weekend of Vegas tbh and was worried it would kill the crowd

Economic impact will be limited if it ends soon but we’re looking at up top five rate hikes here now

Seeing oil over 100 dollars and rate hikes was easily predicable and avoidable

It would only kill the tv deal in the event of a global recession / depression and we aren’t there yet lol

Why would you worry about NRL tv deal if you think depression might hit?!

Doubt it gets there

Trump isn’t that stupid

If there’s a global depression then I’m blaming Pvl for delaying due to England

Contracts are enforceable

Afl will still get their cash unless Dazn goes broke

Don't take this the wrong way, but maybe take a break from x. Half the people there are bots from Russia and India.

It’s like anything you have to sift through bs to get the truth same as in league articles

I haven’t watched legacy news in maybe 20 years lol

X is basically the only source left of actual free media

Everything else is censored heavily or just lies

Been waiting for this response

You’ve said the nrl will get 550 million for its tv rights

Can you provide a breakup of this figure across broadcasters to show you didn’t just make up this number
I gave the basis of that number already.

So you have no idea then

Fox will pay how much ?
Nine how much ?
Seven etc ?

See I get updates like that on so many topics

There’s comments from economists about interest rates and oil

Videos about what’s going on in the war etc

Can’t find it anywhere else tbh

I gave you my basis. Read back the posts. What the split of the broadcasters would be I don’t know, probable a third is needed.

The reality is the global economy is built on a pile of bullshit and has been for decades. It doesn't take much to knock down a house of cards.

But like Trump says, the war could end tomorrow or he could annihilate them from the map. Either or. Both are valid outcomes and comments like that always fill investors with confidence and keep markets steady.

It's always been about the petro dollar.

Iran today just stated that they're willing to let ships pass if the transaction is in Yuan..

Yep this media deal needs to be done pronto. If super league don’t come back soon PVL should move ahead. Even 3 months deadline is too generous, should’ve been 4 weeks.
Has he presented SL the offer yet? When the last article went out he still hadnt lol
