Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

[Perth Red]

Even if I that is true ( which is doubtful) so ? They have expanded and reaped a benefit

Very true, and good to see. They got there eventually! All good things come to those who wait lol

 

[Perth Red]

Unless, unless, unless…
Mate they haven’t for 2025, it’s nothing worth noting. That’ll be tracked in the 2026 report.

It fathoms the mind how often you try to argue with me and ultimately lose the argument. Learn some humility, you’re a 50 year old for Pete’s sake. Smarten up mate.

sorry didnt realise you worked for wa treasury!

 

[Mother Nature's Son]

how may of you had? Your misinformation now is even worse than usual

There used to be a time when someone went OS you got to have a break from them.

 

[Canard]

Can't wait till they start throwing in PNG viewership in those figures. Going to go off the planet compared to AFL.

Cant they do that now? I mean its not like the NRL isn't the most watched sport in PNG.

I would assume there is no actual TV ratings measurement in PNG, first world problems and all that.

PVL was mentioning some figures on the HSP ep. the rise of digital will probably help with tracing unique streams

Pm13 v png game from a few years ago got just over a million watching

Digicel pacific which is owned by Telstra has close to a million subscribers

The png tv rights will end up being worth decent coin just like the nz tv rights once th warriors were going well in the nrl

 

[The_Wookie]

Majority of that funding increase is govt funding for PNG and Perth.

First PNG payment was due in the 2025 cycle - 1.175m per club according to the Tele
Perth not yet as far as Im aware.

 

[The_Wookie]

or the biggest magic round round ever. forget the qld gov fund, how about tickets and how about revenue made from the nrl owned hotels as part of the overall event itself. ditto nrlw magic round & nrlw origin which was biggest ever.

they moved Hotel revenue to Sundries last year.

 

[The_Wookie]

Imagine all the fumblers seeing these figures and the panic that ensues

Never thought Pvl would get league to the number one spot so fast thought it would take ages

Im not entirely sure anyone in AFL circles is panicking.





The 358m gap is the largest ever between the two governing bodies - this is in part due to a new tv deal commencing. NRL revenue as a % of AFL revenue dropped from 72% to 70% as a result. Since 2014, the AFL has outearned the NRL by $3.156 billion - about 48% of the NRLs total 6.476b over the period.

I think you've answered your own point with the AFL new TV deal commencing. If the NRL increase their TV deal to the numbers floated, there's probably a fair argument that the codes will be neck and neck by 2028.

Oh I think theres a fair chance the NRL will be ahead in 2028.

Perhaps, I really struggle to see where the big growth is for AFL going forward - have they maxed out? They are a massive sport in Australia, but its strength of uniqueness and tribalism is also its weakness. For one, they play on cricket ground size fields - a packed MCG becomes a Colosseum but must-see games outside Australia just can't be replicated.

The AFL believe the massive growth will come from NSW and QLD.

That`s a big call Wookie, so soon ? it`s not as if the fumbles are going backwards so it would take a massive acceleration in NRL revenue growth even if our broadcast deal does jump substantially, what`s your reasoning ?

Not quite. Looks like the gap in 2023 was $362m. So maybe one day the NRL will pass the AFL’s revenue.

 

[Dark Corner]

I dont know much about NSW and QLD comp these days but what is the future for both of them...what crowds do they get and are they a reserve/devolopment or tier 2 from the NRL.

The new nrl tv deal will wipe out that gap for the first time ever

Afl has received 3 billion. In extra revenue over the past 30 years and yet the two codes net asset position is similar

Good luck with the expansion into India and origin though I’m sure they will be a success

You’re going to need it especially if Dazn cuts its afl tv deal

Crowds are tiny

Yeh reserve grade for most nrl clubs or where no nrl clubs exists (mainly qld) development clubs

Many have their own leagues clubs too

Dolphins were the best example.

Easts tigers and Ipswich jets are the two training ones that could be involved in the nrl going forward

Do you think the NRL could make them both comps bigger as in more spectators/tv viewers in like say the NHL in North America with tier 2 AHL and tier 3 ECHL ?

That makes for interesting reading. I wonder what that graph would look like if you added separate data points for profit, assets and brand value series? (That’s a genuine question, I haven’t a clue what that data would tell us). Is that something you can do?
