Rugby League continues to Lead The Way!

Yeah the storm are the greatest ever, they have gone past St George who won 11 grand finals in a row. Don't know when it happened, but if an afl fan has stated it, it must be true.

Comprehension lacking.
NRL history Parra. .....

[SportCapital]

That's alright, after a wooden spoon last year this year was a blessing.

Unfortunately for you Parra, you had to meet the storm after a loss. Teams general don't fare too well in that situation. Particularly this year.

its funny i actually dont think Storm actually played that well..

they handled the conditions alot better. and i think there defense was quite solid.

But there were a few lucky trys in there..

NRL considers in-house production for next TV rights deal

The NRL will consider bringing broadcast production of its matches in-house for the next television rights deal to maximise revenue in a move that would have huge ramifications for its traditional media partners.

The existing deal with Foxtel and Nine Entertainment Co – the publishers of the Herald – doesn’t expire until the end of the 2022 season. However, the governing body is already planning for the next rights negotiations to ensure all options are considered in a rapidly changing media landscape.

The NRL extracted $2 billion from Nine, Foxtel and Telstra to provide coverage of the game over a five-year period, a figure 70 per cent higher than the previous deal. However, changes in technology and viewing habits could result in the value flatlining or even decreasing when the rights are next up for grabs.

Rugby league has long gone with a two-partner model of a free-to-air and subscription provider, with Fox and Nine paying top dollar for a property that has been a sure-fire ratings winner. However, the emergence of streaming service Kayo and a shift to fans consuming sport on mobile devices has further fragmented the market.

The NRL will give its current broadcast partners every opportunity to retain the rights before exploring alternate options. However, according to sources with knowledge of the approaching negotiations, the NRL could produce the broadcast content itself and then look to sell off the properties to interested parties if it isn't satisfied with the price broadcasters are willing to pay.

Very interesting. This has been talked about the last couple of broadcast deals. If nothing else it's another bargaining tool to jack the price up.

I'm hoping at least 2 FTA channels get games along with Foxtel. I can't see Facebook or Google or Netflix getting involved but you never know as it's still a few years away. However no matter what anyone has said it is proven that FTA gets the biggest numbers watching and that's what the game wants.

Yeah True
I hope the NRL go with the Model of different nights for different networks.
would be great for the game.
