Does anyone know when TV rights negotiations will start for the next agreement?
From memory, the rights cost $1.8bn for 5 years (starting in 2016) so I assume it is still a year or so before negotiations start.
I just cannot see the game achieving the same kind of viewership in the next 12 months after this ridiculous off season. The game (read: product) is suffering. People are walking away. and that ultimately means less revenue, and a cheaper price for FOX in future.
The NRL are killing the sport, and the players sure aren't helping either... its sad really. If the NRL aren't careful, they will end up like Australian Basketball and Rugby union
