    Just happy that the NRL has control over the draw again. Hopefully this also means we don't have to watch Brisbane every Friday night. Also happy they scrapped the Anzac Test. The rest is meh, as long as Fox Sports gets the rights to simulcast everything then all will be sweet.

    Gun news IMO. More FTA is excellent as it a bigger priority on rep football away from the premiership imo

    More FTA is shit if it means a dedicated Thursday night game all season though.

    Thursday night footy then footy show is gun

    Nah disagree.

    Friday - Monday. Games need to be an hour earlier on Sunday too for mine.

    AFL 2.5b over 7 years and Rupert Murdoch burying Rugby League.

    I still reckon the NRL will trump them on a per year basis. Would love to see them avoid Fox altogether too.

    How long is your deal for? And how many games does Nine actually get to show? Seven payed about $900M for the rights to show 3.5 games a weekend for 6 years - sounds like a bit much imo.

    Just read the article, $925M across 4 years, 4 games a week. Better deal for the NRL pay TV aside, although rep stuff would be a big help for that.

    Shorter deal is better too.

    Nine also bought the digital rights with that 925m, which means games will likely be streamed on Stan. If they have live digital rights for all 8 games then it's a bargain for them.

    With Optus buying the EPL rights fair to say Murdoch might be changing his tune on the NRL rights quick smart.

    NRL in a very strong position now to get a good deal for the remaining 4 games.
     
  13. Julian BJ Taylor

    Does this mean EPL will be online only?
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    No one really knows what Optus is going to do with the rights yet.

    It'll surely end up on Fetch though.

    I think theyll just onsell some or all of it to foxtel at a premium price. Cunts will be desperate for some flagship sport if they don't get the NRL as well.

    Friday 6pm game is the dumbest fucking idea ever. Who the fuck is going to not only make it on time to go to the game but make it home on time to watch it?

    Are they seriously making 6pm Friday games?
     
  18. morgieb MC Burridge

    Surely they can't be considering it. So dumb.
     
  19. Magic AJ Parker

    Yeh and they're calling it the pub game.

    So much cringe.
     
  20. Magic AJ Parker

    6pm game will just be at regional venues and NZ.

    Suncorp, AAIMI, ANZ & Allianz to be avoided at all costs.
