Forget about televising the trial matches, what about those 2hrs of RL programming per night that was supposed to take place on Ch9's digital channels in the current NRL tv deal back in 2013? (3 years later, and still nothing) I mean, what's so hard showing a replay for matches during the week, or matches from years gone by, or excerpts from the Thursday/Sunday Footy Shows?

I know Red will say naming rights, but then maybe NZ rights come in at 200 mil then it's NRL all the way. ie 2 bill over 5 years equals 200 per year clearly better than AFL.

"nd on a different' we prefer AFL' comparing the 2 deals the NRL comes out with MOAR $$$$$.
How? AFL total deal 2.5 billion LESS 200 mil contra ie funny money. therefor AFL DEAL IS 2.3 BILLION over 6 years, equals 383 million dollars per year (2.3 divide 6 ) 383 million.
Have not seen any contra thus far on NRL deal which is 1.8 billion plus to come NZ rights currently (old deal) 100 million over 5 years plus other international agreements rights which is generally small, but if NZ rights rise to 175 million over 5 years then the yearly total for NRL is 395 million per year. (1.8bil plus 175 mil NZ equals 1.975 bil over 5 years equals 395 mil per year. Take that HATERS

Is this the year that Fox is simulcasting Nine's games and if so, does this mean the first 4 or 5 rounds on 9 won't be shown on delay in QLD?

Naming rights and we don't know how much contra is involved in NRL deal. Strange they want to keep this quiet? The questions is why despite being the most popular domestic code on tv and having three massive event games more does NRL still get less than afl from Australian media? Some would claim it is due to their ni th game and amount of to adds.

Ninth game, well that's our own stupid fault for not getting arses into gear and having a ninth game to sell
Tv adds fair call for fta but little value for pay to which is subscription driven.

Many seem happy to keep accepting less than afl gets so ho hum. Clubs got their money, Grant not only kept his position but strengthened it and to got what it wanted so all is well.

NZRL could benefit from deal between Sky TV and NRL, says ARLC boss John Grant



New Zealand Rugby League could be the beneficiary of a broadcasting deal between the NRL and Sky TV.
Previously almost powerless in its dealings with Sky TV, the NZRL now has the weight of the NRL behind it in negotiating a contract with the network.
While reluctant to go into details, Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant says the commission is working with the NZRL on a joint approach to Sky to maximise potential broadcasting returns for the national body.
"It's all in the mill in the moment," Grant said.
"So I don't want to say too much about it, other than we're going to work very closely with New Zealand Rugby League, to maximise the value of the rights."The NZRL's deal with Sky TV expired at the end of last year and it is now looking seal a short-term contract to take the sport through to 2018.

The NRL and NZRL previously negotiated separately with Sky TV, but due to the small number of tests played by the Kiwis each year and the lack of a premium club competition in New Zealand, the NZRL is not in a good negotiating position.

The NZRL's deal with Sky TV ran out at the end of last year and they are looking to do a new, short-term contract to take them through to 2018.

Does anyone know that the 17th club that was talked about in the last to deal is on the cards anytime during the next tv deal and if a 9th game could appear at any time?

9's audience will take a huge hit since there is a simulcast on Fox and if 9 would be willing to take up the option of a 9th game or a 2nd Brisbane team at least? There's no incentive for a Fox viewer to turn over to 9 at any time and in the past they relied on RL fans being lazy, not turning the channel and staying on 9 to watch their Sunday newscast.

9 will also lose viewers on Friday night for those watching the early Friday game on Fox won't turn over

Has our coverage actually regressed about 5 years? Only live into Sydney and Brisbane?!?! I can't even find Gem ratings, was it even shown to other states?
