NRL & Money

The AFL's last 5 year TV deal was $750,000,000.00.
The next deal will eclipse $1,000,000,000.00 almost certainly on the back of the Gold Coast and Western Sydney expansion sides.
This is by far the biggest but by no means the only revenue stream which feeds the AFL. You could probably add another $300,000,000.00 to that to get the total 5 year revenue stream giving an average of $240,000,000.00 per year. Meanwhile the bulk of the individual clubs also make a tidy profit with only a few struggling at the moment but soon to be debt free after finalising infra-structure projects and sharing in the returns from the newly agreed stadium deals.

Wishful thinking.

League will get dudded in the next TV deal it's obvious as Gallop is resisting doing anything that will increase the games value. He has even come out and said the Bears will not be included until AFTER the next deal.

Why would Gallop be resisting doing anything that would increase the game's value?
