Wookie you stoopid knobjockey he was voted off the island because

A) he's dumb as a post
B) he's biased as all fukk and
C) he supports a reduced ratio of people of colour making it to the top in sport.

Rugby league sparks $3b in TV rights scrum


State of Origin rugby league is set to be the centre of billion dollar rights negotiations. Anthony Johnson


by John Stensholt

A $3 billion bidding frenzy between three free-to-air television networks and pay-TV provider Foxtel for sports rights has been sparked by rugby's league's decision to enter the market a year ahead of schedule in an effort to steal a march on rival code AFL.

Cashed-up incumbent free-to-air broadcaster Nine Entertainment Co is prepared to pay a record amount for sports rights to keep its rugby league rights, but will face strong competition from Seven West Media and Network Ten.

Nine's rivals are particularly interested in the three-match State of Origin series,usually **** the highest rating of any TV show each year. NRL chief executive Dave Smith had indicated he wants the networks to bid for Origin as a separate asset, believing a move could unlock significant value for the sport and potentially valuing the series at between $50 million to $100 million alone.

The NRL's move is expected also spark intense negotiations across the networks and Foxtel and Fox Sports Australia as all parties seek to cut joint venture deals to potentially spread the financial burden the new contracts will cause. "It is unlikely any free-to-air network can exclusively own both the AFL and NRL," one source said.

Ten, which has struggled in the ratings and needs a significant boost to its balance sheet, is prepared to cut deals with other networks in an attempt to gain a foothold in either sport. Its involvement in any talks will bring the competitive tension both the NRL and AFL are seeking.

Be Interesting to see if the NRL do sell different parts of the game to the networks..
I agree with x 2 FTA Networks. and Fox Sports.

This would be great for the GAME.

I think it is only a matter of time before AFL starts thinking about attempting Origin again. Would probably be between Vic, SA and WA though.

AFL hate how much attention State Of Origin gets and seems to be getting bigger every year.

Theyve been thinking about it for years but the vast majority dont want it. The onlly way it could realisticaly work is for SA and WA to combine to vs Vic, but this would leave a number of stars from NSW and QLD out. I also cant imagine fans from SA and WA showing any real passion to a combined team.
