im pretty Confident DAZN will get the Rights (they would be stupid not too)

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)

I think that will be the case too .. & balance will be restored to the universe with the nations most watched sport having the largest media rights deal as it should
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

NRL broadcast rights will increase but by how much is the question ?
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.

How much is the question.. yes how much ?

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

FOX saw that the NRL could be in trouble here and took full advantage of it..

the Next TV deal will have the AFL in its sights either equal or ahead.
what will you say to that ??

Firstly - what’s it matter ?

Secondly - can you really compare deals made at different times/years. As pointed out - maybe the nrl were vulnerable last time around- due to circumstances of the time. Both getting plenty of money. _
AFL I read here once get nearly as much from gate revenues as from tv deals per year ?

And what about sponsorship ? I’d love to know what the AFL commands for their top level sponsor compared to nrl - but then again, I could equally say “what’s it matter?”.

pity they didn't see the absolute dud sport, played by steady eddies , that is 1/10th as popular as PVL's girls in the bigger half of the country

oh hang on
they're seeing that now ..... they won't forget it either eh spambot

Gap is widening now, but before this year it would have been a lot closer than people think. The league doesnt break down its gate (half a million attendance at finals) and revenue from 65,000 of its own members. Nor do we see corporate box revenues.

we know that clubs make almost as much from match returns as they do from the AFL distribution though.
