Talking Footy

"We are excited about the opportunity to play again on May 28 and to share the game with the rest of the world. We are working with all our partners to make sure the game is in front of as many sport-starved fans in the world as possible.”

As the first collision sport to resume following coronavirus-forced shutdowns, the NRL is attracting unprecedented global interest, with Sky Sports UK announcing within hours of the draw being released last Friday that they would broadcast all eight matches live each week.

France's BeIN Sports has also increased its coverage to four live NRL matches per round, while ESPN executive vice-president of programming Burke Magnus said the network was positioning itself to provide live content from international competitions that resumed before US sports.

Rugby League 1st
Daylight second.

"Rugby league is the lesser-known but infinitely superior form of rugby, and if you like your sport high-octane, occasionally violent, endlessly authentic and frequently spectacular, then you need to tune in this Thursday for the National Rugby League (NRL). It’s fast, pretty easy to understand and exciting as hell."

"........the rugby league played in the NRL is the best version of the game, the world’s elite competition and toughest arena."

" You know that famous touchdown that Cal Golden Bears scored against Stanford that your Dad never stops going on about? That happens on a weekly basis...…………... "

this is Interesting.. I am trying to figure the good and the bad, Seems to be mostly positive.

Imagen the NRL with a $500mill warchest in cash in 1 hit

Another interesting news i found out, which i had no idea about.

Canterbury Bulldogs, own a 36,000SQM plot of land in Liverpool.
which can Fit a Stadium, Shops restaurants and units..

Holy Smokes.
The way real estate is in Sydney this would be worth an Absolute mint.
and they have been sitting on this for 20 years plus.

I read that in my feed. Interesting article. I was surprised they felt 3 billion valuation of the nrl was agreeably a little high.

The NRL has agreed to look into it, the rest is paper talk.

true

also an interesting take.

NRL AND AFL dont currently pay tax.

Would bringing in investors or part owners make this nil and void.

Where the Organisation would need to pay TAX
