We all know the AFL fans are very bitter here. We all know they were really REALLY hoping the deal would be a lot LOT less.

Eat your sour grapes bitches!

Yes eat our 1.275million......

AFL deal worth 1.250m - 400million to keep up expansion clubs and it comes out to 850million....

NRL 1.275million ------>AFL 850million..

Raider sure looks to be the winner in all this. =D>

Doc is saying on LU that Fox has some of the internet rights and he is not sure what the rest could be sold for. He also said that the NZ rights probabaly would be closer to 100 million over 5 years. So the deal will be 1.15 + according to him.

However, for the next five years, Fox Sports have also won online rights, meaning it can offer subscribers games via tablet, a successful initiative used during the recent London Olympics.

A potential downside is if Telstra, who paid the AFL $153million for online rights, values the remaining mobile phone and online properties at significantly less, then the ARLC may struggle to achieve $1billion in cash, given that the cash component of yesterday's is $925 million.

While the money the ARLC receives from the yet-to-be-negotiated New Zealand TV rights should not be used in comparisons with the AFL, which does not have an equivalent team in another country, the fee will narrow the overall rights gap between the codes.

Sky TV in New Zealand currently pays $14 million per year to show NRL games but has protested it is paying too much.

If you work for sky TV your not going to say we have a great deal and we need to pay the NRL lots more money. Im no expert by lets say that Sky keep the statis quo and keep playing 14 million a year. Thats 70 million for the next 5 years. Lets say that the rest of the online rights are worth nothing. Thats about 1.1 billion minium. Still quite a good financial deal. Who knows the rest of the online rights might be worth a lot more if the NRL sets up its own internet streaming.

Yeah it wont be lots more then the 14m pa but it will increase to close to 20m no doubt.

The NRL is going to set up its own streaming before the start of next season.

Meaning we could potentially get more for our internet rights then the AFL.

AFL 18 = 1.250M minus the 150m each GWS, SUNS will loose brings the AFL out to under 1 billion dollars.
NRL 16 = 1.025Million + potentially 100m for NZ and 150m for internet maybe more.

-NRL got a great deal financially and we got more games and more tournaments to watch also. 4 Nations now shown on nine, World club challenge, Anzac Test, 3 Thursday games, The Queensland In Trust Super Cup, Waved first and last rights by Nine, FOX, New ltd, Both Nine and Fox Sports will work together to stage two player development academies to train players in media presentation which is really an area we need to improve on.

-Fox got 13 Sunday evening games, Three non NRL matches each week played in conjunction with the Telstra Premiership game (which will be shared between Toyota Cup, NSW Cup and GIO Schoolboys Cup), The first 20 rounds of the Premiership will be scheduled in advance of the season.

How people can actually say this deal is bad is beyond me. =D>

For the players its a great result but for the fan man you must be dissappointed.Lets face it when the AFL got the money league was always going to get it because the ratings are extremely close.But the deal they done is amateur hour and that cocky ***** gyngall how can you stomach that. Mate I can promise you noone cared about the cash down here lets face it these blokes make enough money but if they had come back with no live footy there would have been a riot.Honestly the money is great and it is what the game deserves but the fact the swans or the giants get beamed into sydney live every saturday(no coincedence)and league doesnt even get a guernsey in there own back yard is awful.Honestly wouldnt you rather have taken the indignaty of a smaller deal so you could have the same package as the AFL. I cant help but think you guys got slotted so a few nobs can say we got a billion too.
