i think your under selling SOO mens and womens plus internationals at $50mill a season.

might get 60 mill ... but not much more
tests rate around the same as a big NRL game , womens origins a bit more ... the bulk of that money is for the mens origins

Old Articles i wonder how much truth they have to it.

thats saying 30 million PA , so my 50 mill PA would be close i'd say

Oh no fumblers

you're gunna be 2nd here too soon

I think part of the above coincides with the sniffing around of the NRL by Ch 7 recently ,

For me , this is a strong indication that Origin certainly & possibly the entire rep season will be offered separately from the NRL season & Ch 7 are hugely interested in it
Ch 9 will have to open their wallet to retain it

The 600 mill PA will be well within reach & when the Kiwis are added , it will be 650 mill PA

Can't blame 7 either

I mean they need something on their channel that will perform & give them value for money

Broadcast industry experts estimate the NRL will match, if not exceed, the AFL’s existing deal per annum.

$650mill / 700mill including NZ per Annum is most certainty in range.
NRL will likely do a 5 year deal

PVL said teams will be finalised before Easter.
