5.3 Billion deal for NRL 2027

[tig_prmz]

Could I suggest...no one cares what you want? It's about what's best for the majority?

Perhaps if you want different technology, you should go ahead and make it and try to sell it to Fox or Nine? If you want new commentators, maybe you're in the minority and who really gives a toss what you think?

I mean...what an incredibly arrogant and self-centred reasoning behind why you want a few games on Netflix...you lefties need a serious reality check...

Even if I ignore all the personal shots, I don't think you're capable of having an actual discussion. Your brain doesn't seem to comprehend what I'm actually saying.

Have fun.

That’ll hike Kayo’s price up another 10-15 dollars a month.

reckon foxtel box goes up by $5
kayo probably $20

 

[innsaneink]

$20 way too much ...maybe $5pm x 2 over 3 years
If its a 20 increase up to 50 a month thatll.see.me.out

More than 500 a.sesson is way over the odds

Personal? I am talking about your comments. I comprehend the entire thing. Hence my reply...do you comprehend that your comments are entirely self-focused based on your own ideals of "technology and commentators"?

I mean give me a break. The utter arrogance to suggest that people can't comprehend your comment. Your thinking is not as complex as you'd like to believe...it's a simpletons, surface level view...you haven't looked past your own nose...very easy to understand the point and twice as easy to understand the flaws.

If there's a deeper meaning, please...enlighten us all...because if the league went down that path, we'd be paying 3 subscriptions with no guarantee of better coverage. That is the end result of your suggestion. That is a bad result for fans...it's not about you. I can afford 10 subscriptions....but it's not about me and it's not about you. It's about the average bloke being able to afford to watch his team each week.

Frankly, who's to say this mystery new tech and "better" commentators aren't equally as poor? Who's will be the judge of this? You? Not that this is even a big complaint amongst the majority of fans. It's a non-issue.

Sorry but this is just another case of doing things nobody asked for. Incredibly happy with the result and with the huge uptick of money into the game and things stay as they are and the average family can continue watching at an affordable rate. Like I said...thank goodness we don't have these ideas in the heads of the administrators.

foxtel with sport is $69 per month and you get netflix membership with that

Dazn will want to recoup some cash for sure

what is the alternative, you can't watch nine coverage.

The deal is worth jack to the supporters. If anything, it’s problematic.

Their broadcast of the SOO in HD was horrible, it was a bit better for the Rugby game they televised Wallabies vs Ireland, however still not as good as fox HD, and way off the UHD.

Try watching it on 9now rather than channel 90 or what ever the 9 HD channel is where you are.

The picture quality is so much better, or at least that is what I have found, however they stuffed up by still having the same commentary team. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Heard a bit of talk from V'landys and the local boss of Dazn saying that there was an agreement to keep it affordable.

I'll believe that when they drop the already exorbitant cost of that glitchy piece of garbage they call *Kayo which I can't see happening.

*Kayo should be rebranded as Chaos.

They won't because then it opens up the multitude of IPTV providers that pirate the games.

 

[Canberratiger]

I am glad it is all on 1 paid platform but I do wish they would have a complete commentary change out. They are all awful on Kayo and 9

Again, 90% of what you said was personal. Just yapping on unnecessarily..

But paying attention to the other 10%. I agree that most people can't afford and don't want to pay for 10 subscriptions.

The point I was making is that having visibility on Netflix or Prime would make NRL accessible to those who cannot and don't want to pay for Kayo including me.

There is a very small minority that watches all 8 games and you can still have Kayo with all 8 but I hope they didn't have exclusivity or at least they can sell 3 games a week to Netflix, use their coverage and commentators even. Kind of like what Prime did with Star Sports for Cricket.

There is a very limited amount of people on Kayo. Netflix, Disney and Prime are basically today's version of FTA.

Competition breeds innovation. Right now Fox and Nine have had ample opportunity to improve their technology and haven't. Put a third person in there and you will see them investing more into it.

Regardless, a lot of it speculative because there wasn't an open tender process which to me is a little frustrating. I would have loved to know whether the giant streaming platforms were actually bidding and if so how much.

Idk if we are getting told anything more than the $5.3b number.

Hopefully, if you can actually comprehend what I'm saying you can respond with a discussion rather than a school yard fight.

Maybe if they sold a couple of games a week to other streaming platforms, then they can reduce this cost a little.

I think I read 15% increase over 7 years. So if its 2% a year that is ok.

This year I purchased a Kayo digital membership for 12 months and that worked out a tad cheaper than paying by the month for 12 months.

So...

You have a point, that you don't want the NRL split up across a bunch of networks. You get fragmentation like they stupidly have in the States and we don't want Prime+Netflix+etc just to watch the NRL.

Which is fair...


Then you call the guy who wants a game or two on Prime or Netflix a 'Leftie'.
You have no idea what a Leftie is. None Zero zilch.

If Netflix bought the rights...do you think Netflix would keep their sub cost the same? Think about what you're saying.

Netflix and Foxtel are in bed together now anyway. Why would they do that?

I don't think you've thought this through.

Given your unintelligible post history, I would stay out of this.

All I will say is I hope no female allows you anywhere near them.
