Whose talking about hq employees?
I’m talking about staff in expansion states. they could afford it, they had $300mill a year more revenue than us!
No doubt in the wash up post Covid they’ll still have significant more revenue than us.
The $400mill includes aflhq losses AND expected afl club losses. Given their massive revenue from attendances it’s what you’d expect.
What’s the nrl’s predicted combined Hq and club figure with no attendances and pokie clubs closed?
All sports have had significant losses and will next year to a lessor degree. The big unknown factor to us for both codes will be the real figure for the tv deals over the next few years. That is where the real revenue pain post Covid will sit.
D/Os are employees FFS. You think they are not going to be affected.You think all these extra people in expansion states are not going to be affected.Get real about the monetary affects of COVID even on the AFL.
They will of course have more revenues that's no surprise ,but ATM we are not using borrowed money like the AFL did.
Of course the $400m includes all AFL revenues, down from $1.2bn to $800bn.And when you outlay large amounts for expansion clubs they are going to also take a decent hit.1/3 of revenue is hardly a minor hit.
I have never argued the NRL is not taking a decent hit, except they are not using any of the $250m borrowing backstop.I have argued that V'landys /Abdo/Apollo team/the players have all played their part in securing the game goes on earlier than the others, accepted pay cuts this year,
All codes are affected ,never suggested otherwise you're not giving me a scoop, although you did say it's no worse than the GST at one stage, which is why it amazes me you are banging on about the AFL numbers in development states.You take on too many ,someone bears the brunt, when the sh*t hits the fan.
Why the need to treble numbers ,when even people in the AFL says they went overboard, and been found out now COVID has hit.And bagged Gil when he announced the cuts in his car, now that's showing real appreciation to his staff LOL.
We do know there is revenue certainty with Foxtel,we do know the NRL will be announcing cuts up to $80m possibly this week by Abdo.
Are you serious?The real pain is happening now when people staff ,human beings, people with mortgages, in sport are losing their jobs.After they have lost their jobs ,the remainder will at least know they have one and plan ahead, because at least til 2027 in the NRL there is a degree of broadcast certainty.And whatever that actual cash component is, it is sufficient for the NRL to make decisions on staff numbers, club handouts and create certainty that was lacking when this started.That's why I don't bag Vlandys,nor when he is stirred by journos to take a passing shot at his main competitor.9 times out of 10 so far he has delivered ,that's all I ask of any leader.I don't give a sh*t whether he looks shifty, says Rugba Legee,if very club and the code survives he has done his job.
Bagging competitors is happening now in other areas, when one only Health Fund has not increased rates, and is letting the public know this ,whilst their competitors are greedy.Coca Cola and Pepsi did it for years.Demetriou used to take shots at the NRL,Gil does more discretely.
