FFA record $7.3m profit, $136m in revenue

[ParraEelsNRL]

There have been other reports out, I'll have a search for them at lu later from a few years back.

so there are other companies out there selling NRL merchandise, that have made hundreds of millions of dollars, ripping the league & clubs off and the NRL has done nothing about it

Bahahahahahaahahah

Never fails to deliver .
Dumbest poster on the net ,by a long long way.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Union has 5 teams you dickhead at pro level, sokka has 10, both these codes are way behind the NRL in every avenue yet you and your dickheaded mate think the NRL is worth less to advertisers and whatnot?

Hey dickhead, can you point to me where either of these two fucking sports have made over 100 million in a season like the NRL has just in merchandise sales?

No, no you can't.

Cause you lot are full of shit.

so the union & A league has less teams than the NRL, but yet still make more money in the non broadcast
AFL 267 million
Union 104 million
Soccer 96 million
League 90 million


those codes are far ahead of they are making more money from less games


ps the NRL does not make more than 100 person in merchandise, as their Annual report and the clubs annual reports are far off that figure

Another Lie?

Highlights from the 2013 financial results include:

• Central revenues of $314 million with increases across both broadcast (up 118%) and central operations (up 16%). Led by 25% increase in sponsorship and 14% in major game revenue;
• A higher yield from major events and sponsorship to give the NRL a better quality income stream;
• More than $241 million invested into the game;
• $2.2 million investment in new governance measures, including the Integrity Unit, to deliver a state-of-the-art drug testing regime, policing the NRL rules, and managing the salary cap;
• Increase in club funding from $76 million to almost $120 million (up 57%), ensuring that for the first time NRL club funding was greater than the agreed salary cap;
• Increase in funding for state leagues and affiliates to about $17 million (up 18%);
• More than $22 million allocated to support grassroots competitions and Rugby League school based activities; and
• Stable operating costs achieved despite revenue growth with a 2% increase in administration costs to $15.7 million plus an extra $2 million in competition, player education and welfare and community costs.

Dumbest poster on the net ,by a long long way.

Or the biggest liar.

One or the other.

[ParraEelsNRL]

The one I got is when they got the new deal.

Look at the date.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Doesn't 100 million add up to more than 90 million or 77 million or 96 million?

That's in a season and iirc, the NRL for quite a few years now has exceeded the 100 million just in merchadise sales.

What, don't they count?

I put a link in that no one has touched where it clearly states the game will make over 100 million just from merchandise back in 2006.

Now we have another report from RL week and some want to argue that too, yet I have just proved it's not a typo or a one off.

So where are the real reports?

[ParraEelsNRL]

From 2006, lets get some facts straight, this is when the NRL was on the old TV deal being screwed.

Something strange between then and now aye.

Heck, it even has participation numbers that prove the liars wrong as well, but meh, wtf would i know.

Glad we got that sorted, so can we add this years 100 million to the other monies up top?

How the a league and Union figures looking now LIC, Fraud FC whatnot?

[sydneyfc]

what percentage of shirt sales do clubs even receive in the nrl - for football, worldwide, only a small fraction goes back to the club with the majority going to the kitmaker who pay money upfront with kit deals to the clubs

adidas pay chelsea 30 million pounds a season to make kits for them...chelsea sold ~1,000,000 shirts in 2013 with their annual reports showing they only received around 18 million pounds in direct merchandise sales which shows that adidas collect most of the post sale money. If the average price of a football shirt is 80 pounds, then that draws up a total figure of 80m pounds for the shirts with adidas and retailers taking the majority share of the cut leaving less than 1/4 for the club which isn't so bad considering adidas had to pay chelsea 30m upfront before any shirt was sold and have to do that every year
