Channel 9 have insisted the broncos are shown every fn much to the disgust of all other teams. They also demanded the GF go back to Sunday night which fans complained about last time.
CH9 made it clear they control the schedule.

wrong!
The only date i see on this is 2018...? More info please Xman. Or did you do some more sweepin on this one?
he repeatedly claimed all this would come with this deal and result in far higher price in the next. Look up his other claims about the Perth expansion teams

now I believe the NRL will get the biggest deal in Australian TV History
1.275 Bill
with ratings going through the roof ATM
with our dominance of Pay TV looking like it will never end
we can't & won't be denied our rigtful place as the holder of the biggest TV deal in Australia
Wrong!
I think this is awfully close actually. From memory I think he's a few hundred million closer than yourself beaussie and TLPG. I'd give that a 'Right'!
they got 1.05 and will be lucky to get another .75b for internet rights given they sold some to foxtel already.
So not even close to 1.275b

NZ are part of the NRL Xman. Did you forget to add them?

Looks like you cant find a year, yet you claim he said 2013...? Lying again Xman? And how many years does this deal go for?

Well this is all very subjective here Xman. I see your interpretation only. Perhaps you need to show more proof that the nrl didnt decide the schedule.

Yes, you're right TLPG.
I'm happy and confident that this one's an open and closed case. A simple comparison of players and names on AFL and NRL team lists shows which code is more multicultural. I look forward to eels providing some more of the data to blast tlpg's crumby and infactual wiki link out of the water.

"I think everyone has to understand this is great for the game, but in Queensland they want to watch Queensland teams and in the Sydney they want to watch the Sydney teams.
"If we start putting two games against each other, you end up shrinking your audience.
"I sit here unapologetically ... when you pay this sort of money to have the games, you actually have to put the programming into slots you can commercialise."
Gyngell said exclusivity gave the network the right to delay games.
"I think one thing you need to take out of it is this is an exclusive sports right deal," he said.

It doesnt come clearer than that. They want the Brocos every FN and to disctate which matches are shown when.

BRISBANE Broncos will have Friday night fever for the next five years, with Channel 9 boss David Gyngell adamant his "huge cheque" for the $1.025 billion TV rights buys him the schedule of choice.
Gyngell was unapologetic over his demands, adding he would like the Broncos to play every single Friday night because it sold best in Queensland.
"Why wouldn't they be on every Friday night in Brisbane?" Gyngell said. "We just bought the game.

thats only one minor component of the schedule. one aspect. I would never, and so wouldnt any other primate with half a brain, that this constitutes channel 9 have decided the schedule.

Hmmm, "we demand the Broncos play every night because we now own the game!" is about as blatant as you can get!
BRISBANE Broncos will have Friday night fever for the next five years, with Channel 9 boss David Gyngell adamant his "huge cheque" for the $1.025 billion TV rights buys him the schedule of choice.
Given its their only live FTA game each week the Broncos will get 24 live FTA games and all the lesser teams like panthers, sharks, raiders etc will get few if any. Given the massive advantage in FTA exposure if you dont think thnis is a huge deal yourre dumber than I first thought.

There won't be any. This is because you can't go anywhere near the 53 countries that have a connection with the AFL and the VFL prior to 1990. At present there is only evidence of 27 in the NRL.

That's not "at present" TLPG. More accurately put that's evidence from 2012...ONLY
TLPG = shakin in his boots
Also if i had the time im sure i could blast that wikilink off wikipedia, its likely very shoddy evidence.

I'm not shaking in my boots at all. You are, because you can't come up with any evidence that proves that the NRL has had any more than 27 countries represented in it. And deep down you know it. If you are so confident that more than 53 countries have been represented in the NRL over the years/decades, then let's see it. Same rules as the Wikipedia article has for the AFL players.
Ball's in your court, KE.
