    It's just going to be NZ every week. It's so dumb I just cannot comprehend it.

    Certainly adds fuel to the fire that another NZ team is a genuine option next expansion.

    Had to look at who wrote the article to see how much bullshit it is. Dont panic lads just another News Limited agenda piece of crap from Rothfield who has no sources.

    He mentions that it will replace the Monday night slot and allow Fox to simulcast more games which doesn't make sense when Fox were pushing for the Monday night slot in the first place.

    Pretty sure it was Josh Massoud who broke the story.

    Nah MNF was always going to go and Fox were always going to get simulcast rights

    It's insane. It's like the NRL said "Give us a deal that will get crowds below 5k"

    I'm sure they were happy so long as they kept exclusive rights for Saturday. As soon as 9 got a game they saw Monday night as a priority as its one of their best drawing games.

    Take away Monday and Saturday exclusivity and Fox wont bite, the remainder of the deal will go to peanuts. The NRL need to make sure Fox want something out of it, it will either be Saturday or Monday or both IMO.

    Fucking what?

    It's hard enough for Newcastle, Canberra and Gold Coast to get crowds without making it impossible for the working class main to get there.

    Fuck 6pm Friday sucks ass.

    Should pretty much be all NZ + Melbourne home games if it happens.
     
  10. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Or Gold Coast. They get fuck all numbers.

    Exactly it is the stupidest timing short of having them at 1pm Wednesday.
     
  12. Magic AJ Parker

    TV deal signed for somewhere around 1.9-2B in total.

    Starting next year all 8 games will be shown LIVE on Foxsports.

    Starting in 2017 there will be a dedicated NRL channel on Fox, with all 8 games shown LIVE along with QLD Cup & NSW Cup coverage.

    And best of all deal free of any David Gallop negotiated clauses.

    fuck yeah, will never have to listen to hadley's or gilbert's voice ever again

    So good. I only heard nrl only channel was 2017 so I'm so, so stoked every game is live next year as well as 17 but without the exclusive channel.
     
  19. GYR DW Lewis

    Don't think it has been decided yet if Fox will do their own broadcast or just take the ch9 feed.
     
  20. Toolman TR Man

    They'll do their own, they always do don't they?
