Re: TV RIGHTS KICK OFF
$700mill plus a season >> (dam i am giving myself a complement )
I backed the NRL over the last few years to reach $700mill per season.
(will be great to get the full details, of any changes to scheduling) (which we expect over the next week)
NRL is in dollar terms for TV the biggest in the country, it has actually been the biggest for the best part of decade. (just not on the scoreboard)

Haha!!! He'll be under the bed in his mama's basement. Fumblers don't cope well with adversity lolololool!!!!!!!!!
Now that the NRL has secured the biggest broadcast deal in Australian TV history I predict the fumblers will now pivot to talk down the deal rather than bleat about how the NRL will never beat the AFL number.
They'll go on about inflation. Or say the deals can't be compared due to .............(fill in lame reason here). Or contra. Or some BS metric that sookie will probably make up lololololoolol!!!!!!!!!
Bottom line is Peter The Great has delivered the greatest deal in history.
Re: TV RIGHTS KICK OFF
He's a good administrator for sure. I think both deals include contra so that's not an issue - just a good deal for NRL. I see 9 still get SoO at this stage - which I thought would be worth a lot more to be honest given its status as the premium event/comp in the land.

yep both deals will include contra, (they are expecting the deal to be official this week sometime)Fred wrote: Mon Jun 29, 2026 2:26 pmHe's a good administrator for sure.

so be good to get a breakdown on the figures and sums.
alot will be in the detail, with teams 18 and 19 and potentially Game 10 scenarios in broadcast $$ (team 20)
you 100% on state of origin >> Channel 9 look to have got a great deal overall
especially with ORIGIN >> a ratings mammoth
FOX have paid a good share for there price.
Re: TV RIGHTS KICK OFF
We won't get the exact numbers. Probably won't get much more than has been released so far. The fumblers said they were getting $643M a year but got just $530M in cash last year as per their financial report. A lot of smoke and mirrors in these things.leeroy*NRL* wrote: Mon Jun 29, 2026 5:27 pmyep both deals will include contra, (they are expecting the deal to be official this week sometime)Fred wrote: Mon Jun 29, 2026 2:26 pmHe's a good administrator for sure.

The only thing for sure is that the NRL deal is gonna be much bigger than the AFL's. Peter The Great has delivered. Rugby League reigns supreme.

usually they will give a run down of what each company has paid for (exactly) and what the 7 year deal will involve.Terry wrote: Mon Jun 29, 2026 6:35 pmWe won't get the exact numbers.
