Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2362035, member: 2021"] [b]Re: Player Movements and Rumours 2011[/b] If it's not a massive increase David Gallop should be sacked. We have inarguably the best TV sport product in the country. Ratings prove this beyond any doubt yet the AFL has a deal way beyond what we have. I did some research found the figures again. The NRL is on a $500M/6 year contract which is 83 mil p/year. The AFL is on a 780M/5 year deal which is 156 mil p/year. That is DOUBLE what the NRL is on which is shocking and shows just how badly Gallop undersold the game although with the News owning 50% of the NRL there's a clear conflict of interest there. The AFL is predicting/expecting a $200M increaes to a $1bn deal the NRL in recent years has outshone the AFL in ratings in pretty much every way and in a business where it's all about the ratings NRL should be epexcting a better deal than what ever the AFL gets. Heck even getting the same deal the AFL is on now would be a double increase and allow a big salary cap increase, with a $1bn deal(IMO very possible) we could possibly see a $7-8m salary cap(with 18 teams).
