Because if the NRL has shown one thing, it's their ability to leverage TV ratings in their TV deals...

so many tv experts on league unlimited who know they can do better

vlandys should just assemble a team of experts from this forum to handle the tv negotiations

you and afl red are the first ones picked

Doesn't take an expert to see when you give a broadcaster a discount only for them to then use those savings to buy the rights to Rugby and the Olympics, you're not a great negotiator.

The difference between you and me - I want to see the game do well. I want the game to grow, the players to be looked after, and I'm happy round one had great viewership. Rugby League is the greatest sport in the world - but time and time again, it is sold short by leadership. This happened before PVL and continues today.

You on the other hand want PVL to do well.

What you're saying makes no sense.
Firstly the last negotiation wasn't at an easy time. Secondly PVL leadership put the comp in this position- the most watched game and increasing rapidly! Thirdly if PVL does well obviously the game does well !

Why on earth people hate on V’landys is beyond me.

You seem to think you can run the game better than old Pete

so why not send in your resume instead of wasting your talents on here

I’ve never felt more comfortable about how rugby league sits compared to rival sports since 95

NRL had a TV rights agreement with Nine. The NRL renegotiated with a lower money value - Nine then proceeded to buy the rights to Rugby. It's pretty simple.

NRL has always had strong TV ratings - superior on a national landscape than AFL. I'm happy round one had record numbers that was strongly supported by expansion of the league. Hopefully, it encourages the growth and further expansion of the game.

That being said, it is one round. The 2022 NRL Grand Final had the lowest ratings in the Nine era (Edit: Worst since 2003 when the current data collection method was used). Peaks and valleys are nice, but consistent growth is what I'd like to see.

I criticise V'Landys - I don't hate him. There is a key difference. He got fleeced on the TV rights deal. The delays with the CBA could have been avoided, but ultimately got to where they needed to. The introduction of the six again rule was awful and has only been partially fixed by the 40m rule - but there are still major flaws with it.

"If PVL does well obviously the game does well" - you'd like to think so, but it's not necessarily the case. But plenty of executives benefit from just being in the position, and not necessarily the results that they bring for the business.

Why are you so defensive of "old Pete"? Why is it that any criticisms get thrown his way you go on a tangent about the person posting?

Has Ruby League ever got the value it should for TV rights? No. So why would you think they would next deal when the track record simply isn't there? You got very defensive when a simple fact was mentioned.

PVL is a proactive person, kept the game going through covid, instituted rule changes and dropped a reff back to 1. Some of the things haven't worked out but he gets things done! Working his butt off to get us the best stadiums and just gave us a new team. He's done a lot to speed things up, if something needs to be acted on it is almost instantly!
I love that our game is in his hands because if it looks like there's something that has to be done, it's done! No sitting on a problem for years anymore.
The game has never been better and that's no f**king fluke!
