So who sold the supporters down the pisser for the extra $$$

Fox Addons
NRL got rid of Monday night Football
Got NRL channel
Got SOO played over 6 weeks instead of the 9 and also got 1 SOO Sunday game.
Shortened the season by 1 week
Got Simulcasting
Got 2 commentary Teams covering the FTA games unlike the AFL that has just the 1.

FTA addons
From 1 Live game to 3 Live games.

NZ Sky addons
1 Warriors game Replay per week on FTA NZ tv.

What did the AFL get....................nothing, they sold you fumblers down the toilet and took away 10 FTA games starting next year and also gave you Thursday night football.

This will push you even further behind the NRL on Aggregate Tv ratings.

Well done Gill you done a sterling job.. =D> =D>

Oh no! How will we ever cope with our greater TV rights??

Who gives a fuck about some meaningless 'aggregate TV ratings'? The figure is completely meaningless. The networks care about how many people are watching for how long, The AFL goes for 50% longer meaning 6 hours of our games count as 2 games viewed while yours counts as 3. This shows how meaningless it is.

I recan the NRL did real well in this rights getting more on the plate besides the Money..

X MAN you do realize the AFL only get approx. 24million extra a year ??
and don't say we have more rounds blah blah
the teams have the 2 byes etc etc (works out to be around the 206 games per code

Only 24mill a Year more (with 2 extra teams)

Geez Xman you're usually making excuses that the AFL's national coverage is the reason the NRL gets bigger aggregate and average ratings. Now your saying they have a better deal as far as national coverage. Is your main job a contortionist in the circus?

You have more games in isolation, far more. You also have a massive cash cow in SOO and internationals, yet we still get more

Notice a trend in TV rights.....

2006 tv rights
AFL 156m per year over 5 years, 4 Live games on FTA
NRL 83m per year over 6 years, 1 Live game + 2 delayed with one starting at 930pm and the Sunday game on 2 hour delay.

Diff = 73million to the AFL per year

2013 tv rights
AFL 250m Per year Gained FOXFOOTY Added 2 bottomless pits(GWS,GCS) to gain that amount
NRL 220m Per year

Diff = 30million per year to the AFL

2017 tv rights
AFL 414m (gave away 11 FTA games to Fox and 1 extra year on the TV contract to get that amount)
NRL 390m (Gained 2 live games FTA and all 8 games simulcast, shortened SOO period, Sunday SOO, Monday Fox gone, Got 2 commentary Teams for Simulcasts games, NRL Channel, Shortened Season by 1 week, No more 5 day Turnarounds, Control of the draw, 1 Warriors game Replay per week on FTA TV in NZ.)

Diff 24m per year to the AFL

Now we are yet to see if the NRL deal includes Contra, if it does not then you will start crying in your sleep..

So the NRL seems to be closing the gap contract after contract and gaining better coverage on its way.

While the AFL Screws over its fans and signs a 6 year deal but still manages to be reeled in by the NRL.

Its 3 games with eacg match rating around the same as on of your entire rounds. In fact there was even talk of them selling the SOO rights seperatly

the AFL have 1 more FTA match however its shown in the worst ratings time and delayed into Melbourne. It therefore rates nowhere near the other FTA games. The NRL more than make up for it with their 5 exculsive fox games to our 2 available games which are split into 4 halves

Try 1 usually 2 extra Fox games - 6 occasionaly 7 .Capable of being seen by just 30% of the audience. Only about 10% of that 30% would watch more than 6 games and only about 5% would watch more.

Put it another way, You've got wall to wall coverage of your matches from 1.30 till ten at night on Saturday . While Sunday 1.30-6.30. More AFL on TV but less Rating!!!!

But But But But But
