they are going to have to pay over the moon for them. (which is going to have a knock on effect on customers)
As the AFL rights Kicked in this Season (fox raised its prices a fair bit)
DAZN to pay 400 million ... that will be for 9 NRL games ( 6 exclusive )
& all reps except origin
FTA to be 200 million thats to 3 games a week , & all reps .... origin exclusive ( whether thats 9 having the lot, or 9 having the NRL & 7 the reps)
NZ 50 million for it all
What is without question is that NRL rights will be once again be runner up to the much more lucrative AFL rights.
NRL is the poor kid who despite running his heart out always comes second.
NRLW extra value irrelevant.
The broadcasters know that NRL doesn't have the national marketing presence nation wide as Australia's favourite sport does.
It's still a two state competition nothing more and will never be much more.
AFL rights will once again trounce NRL rights and by a massive margin.
Interesting you say Trounce the NRL rights by a massive margin... I dont want to put all my eggs in one basket
but i really recan you wrong on that summary..
all things are pointing towards NRL getting either very close to the AFL (which could be 20 to 50 million per Annum
or exceeding the AFL per Annum by around that amount.
am i confident NRL will get a really good tv deal >>> YES
am i confident it will get close to the AFL deal >>>>> YES
am i confident it will beat the AFL tv deal >>>>>>> No
