Alright then, where is your proof the NRL will accept the first deal this time?
Show us, go on.
Your asking him to prove something that has not even occurred yet??

Im fairly confident
The AFL got a massive deal out of Foxtel without any more competitive tension than the threat of giving them the absolute dregs.
We can threaten to take away Saturday exclusivity, Monday nights... threaten to cut their league content to the worst 3 games each week and let them estimate how many subscribers they will lose.
I tend to think we could do the same

Fox could say if you dont like it see you later, they know no FTA will show every game of NRL live.
Not all that money goes to the salary cap, that money includes retirement funds, injury payouts etc...

question remains does the NRL IC have the bollards to stare them down? Somehow I doubt it. Our only hope of a $1bill is if two FTA channels are serious and Fox HAVE to pay true value to keep their major footage. If Ch10 and 9 both put in serious bids for 4-5 games each then Fox would have to dip into its pockets. If only one FTA is interested in 2-3 games then Fox have no motivation for paying much more than they do now. Remember to get the AFL $'s they forked out for EVERY game, most live. What more will we offer Fox than we can offer them at the moment?[/QUOTE]
I can tell you now
if Fox trumped 9's first & last rights offer ( only need a 20% increase )
I mean go into partnership with say 10 in a deal where all 8 or 9 NRL games are nearly all live ... same as the AFL's deal
then they'd fork out .. some where near the 650 mill they did for the AFL
the FTA network would pay somewhere around 250 to 300 Mill for the 3 games they'd cover simulcast with Fox + Finals .. & this FTA station gets the Grand Final exclusively ... at 7pm on a sunday night
( will rate its tits off)
if 10 doesn't want 3 games they can sell one to 7
9 has made it clear they won't simulcast with Fox .. so they can F off
then 9 & 7 & 10 can fight it out for Origin .. the tests .. all stars game etc
adding another 150 Mill
& we're done
;-)
Yeah .. I think their cap will rise from 7 Mill to 9 mill per club .. not 13.3
the NRL's is going to go from 4.3Mill 7 Mill
the NRL's is a far bigger increase as a % of where the 2 are currently
