U said the NRL wont get that, The NRL clearly outrates the AFL on fox.

So, why wont the NRL get that if it clearly outrates the AFL?

Because Gallop is the worst administrator in world sports

Because the NRL have their negotiations after the AFL do theirs, so the channels have no money left to outbid each other

Losing the NRL will be far more costly for Fox than losing the AFL based on the ratings.

Fox would have budgeted on how much to leave for the NRL.

U dont think the NRL are gonna put another team or 2 in the comp like the AFL did with GC and GSW so conviniently around the time they are negotiating the TV deal? My bet is they have a team in either Adelaide or in particular Perth which would be a perfect fit for Super Sat as they could show all 3 games live.

Furthermore, the NRL is a main sport in Auckland.

Auckland > Perth + Adelaide

Fox may realise they have reached a satuation point with the NRL and know that they have minimal growth in new NRL subscribers, and therefore only have to pay a minimal increase for the rights

The ratings show that the AFL is a massive market that is obviously not reaching its potential and will spend money to attract new subscribers. They are putting on an AFL channel as a way to attract new subscribers (cost will be minimal). They won't do this for league

Also when questioned today, David Leckie said this impacts in no way for them to bid for the NRL

I agree gallop is bad, but, he was simply a puppet for News Limited

Based purely on TV ratings, The NRL is a far far more popular sport than AFL.

The AFL have a strong market in WA and SA, but there are only about 3 people in each of those states.

The NRL also reaches strongly to NZ and England.

The AFL is very strong in Vic, SA, WA and moderate in QLD.

The NRL's main strong hold is in the largest state, population wise and very very strong in QLD, 2rd largest state.

Nice of you to throw out other factors and use only TV ratings to support your theory of the NRL popularity

Footnote: During the hubbub surrounding the announcement of the AFL's new broadcast rights, a story appeared on afl.com.au suggesting that Seven Network's boss David Leckie was to retire following the conclusion of this historic agreement.

This story was incorrect, and afl.com.au apologises for the error.
