TV RIGHTS KICK OFF

[leeroy*NRL*]

Yet still no money to fund or pay for a new team and team the public

there got money, they just use the public purse well.. over the last 5 to 6 years.
All thanks to PVL
before that NRL got walked over..

The public purse funds start ups and running costs of teams!

The AFL team gets a sponsorship to play home games in another state of only a pittance of the amount and it has you lot up in arms like those coloured hair freaks at a protest.

Just think if the AFL got the public purse to fund and pay for the running costs of new teams. They would be decades more ahead than what they already are

Again MR whatever you wanna call yourself...
NRL had no intention of putting a PNG team in the NRL>> it was driven by the Government
and the NRL jumped on board cause it would benefit them.

PERTH BEARS could easily be funded by the NRL and it is >> they will receive $17mill

PERTH BEARS have huge sponsors already on board. which will fund there department of football.

WA GOV are kicking in some money for grassroots>>> which every sport gets, but for some reason NRL never did until now in WA
and are making rent cheaper at the stadium for a period of time>>

AGAIN >> the WA GOV see benefit in this and have paid the NRL

i do not see you asking why WA Government paid the AFL to host the AFL ORIGIN in the millions..
if WA dont pay millions they do not host it..

Sounds like V’landys is lowering expectations when he mentions broadcasters recouping costs and balancing that with making sure the fans don’t suffer.

V’landys revealed the code’s next TV rights deal - due to begin from 2028 - will be finalised before this year’s grand final.

Streaming giants Netflix and DAZN, the latter of which completed a $3.4 billion buyout of Foxtel last April, have been touted as keen bidders, alongside current free-to-air rights holders Channel 9.

Media industry experts believe the NRL could fetch between $3 billion to $5 billion for a five-year term.

Negotiations are accelerating, with V’landys giving the strongest indication yet the code’s next broadcast deal is imminent.

“It will be done in the next six months, yes,” he said.

While V’landys is confident the deal will silence critics who have accused the NRL of underselling their current TV rights contract, he is mindful not to rip-off rugby league fans.

“It will be a record deal, absolutely,” he said.

“But we have to look at ways to make sure the fans don’t suffer. Naturally, whatever the broadcasters pay, they try to recoup, so we have to make sure the fans aren’t affected.

“All options are on the table and we have made that clear.

“We will do what’s best for rugby league, but we also have to make sure that we look after our game and the last thing we want to do is make it too expensive for the fans.

“At the end of it, whatever rights fees you get, the consumer pays for it, so you have to be careful you don’t alienate your fans by doing a record deal.

“In the back of our heads, yes, we have to maximise the amount of money we get, but at the same time we have to put protections in place so our fans aren’t paying too much.”

to be fair, PVL has said since day 1
that he wants a deal for the FANS> but at the same time achieving a big deal at the same time..
he stated many times he wants a balance deal. and not a deal that is locked behind a paywall..

he could totally eclipse any deal if he locked all games behind a paywall, but that would kill the fan base.

PR corperate for, we are not going to get what the AFL got, and we will be laughed out of the office again if we try for it! so lets spin it we are doing this deal for the fans meaning we will get less, so less
