Foxtel needs the nrl. It was built of the back of the nrl and without nrl it would simply die
In the worst case scenario Foxtel only pays a couple of hundred million for the remaining 4 games (meaning the nrl get about $1.2b), we have a split of 4 fta and 4 pay tv games. that works out ok for the fans but not for Foxtel, who'll have people seriously weighing up whether to continue with their subscription now that fox only has 4 games at the worst times and their are 4 live games on fta.
In the best case scenario it forces fox to have to pay big dollars so the can simulcast games, meaning not only do the nrl get close to their $1.7b target but we also get 4 live games fta and 8 games live on pay tv.
