Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 3446090, member: 8536"] The $125 million was including contra. The 9 deal is back to being what it was prior to the pandemic, $115 million with an increase in the contra ($15 million up from $10 million). NRL got more money from Fox when they extended the deal for 5 years because of the new team coming into the comp. They got more money from other sources, as well. Overall, the broadcast deal is more than what it was pre-pandemic, it was a record deal. It's resulting in more money coming into the game with a focus on investments in grassroots and several other avenues. All of the information is all there on google for everyone to see. The NRL is making more money, viewership is increasing, the finances have been brought under control, the NRL's profits are increasing, they're investing in assets, grassroots etc to secure the future of the game, they're bringing in another team with the aim of expanding to 18 teams in the very near future. These are all good things, but people are bitching that the game is dying.. No, it isn't. It's going to take more than a couple of rule changes and some players being treated favourably. As for the gap between the AFL deal and the NRL deal. A lot of it is contra, and they also included the Telstra deal while the NRL didn't include it in theirs. The gap is exaggerated. [/QUOTE]
