I don’t know, but given PVL works in that industry, and has strong links with the very company he’s hoping to do a deal with, I suspect he knows better than anyone… and I’ve not been given any evidence yet of him making decisions that are financially bad for the game, so why wouldn’t I trust he’s doing this with the best of intentions, and with a fair idea of what value he’ll get.
Nobody is saying this is about ‘Americans catching a glimpse and the dollars will flow’… Clearly PVL has information that suggests the betting App will pay for the rights, and clearly he has experience (and info from the gaming company) that if there is a live game on the App, punters will bet on it. And if it’s regular content, that’s also enjoyable to watch, that market could grow. I presume the NRL will be looking for a streaming fee and potentially a cut of the gaming profits (that’s the only way it could really return big money IMO).

Nothing of any real detail in that story. Just a few political comments to invoke some tribalism in country QLD from the racist homophobe.Member for Maranoa David Littleproud has slammed an Australian Rugby League Commission decision to withdraw funding from the Western Clydesdales.
Mr Littleproud said the Queensland Rugby League had been left to help fund the Clydesdales, which is based in Toowoomba and competes in the statewide Hostplus Cup competition.
“The administration of NRL seems more interested in walking the red carpet in the US than supporting grassroots rugby league,” Mr Littleproud said.
“The heart and soul of rugby league is in the country and this decision is a kick in the guts to all footy lovers in regional Queensland.”
Mr Littleproud, who is club patron, said the Clydesdales had produced some of the game’s best players since its inception in the 1920s with more than 40 players going on to the NRL and 50 representing Australia.
The Clydesdales is currently a feeder team to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
Mr Littleproud said the decision was proof ARLC chairman Peter V’Landys and NRL chief executive officer Andrew Abdo were “city administrators, who are becoming out-of-touch with the grassroots base of rugby league”.
“This is a recipe for sending the game down the same road as rugby union,” Mr Littleproud said.
