But tell me a bit more about the AFL and the umpires and what's happening down there.
Because it seems like there's a bit of a similarity in this one.
Yeah, I mean, it's a fair call because, like I said, there's been a lot of frustration amongst NRL fans.
The fact that it's not just like, yes, there's tough calls, and yes, a lot of the time in our game, it's like if the referee sends it up to the video ref as a try, well, obviously the benefit is with the decision of the referee, and a lot of the time they will back the referee with the on-field decision.
So, yeah, I think we need to be better as the NRL to improve our decision-making 100%.
Let's move on to some of the TV rights talk
Adam, obviously the NRL has just secured a massive deal with the broadcast and obviously we are remaining on Fox League and Channel 9 will continue to broadcast the deal.
What's the latest with the AFL?
When is that deal up and what type of numbers do we think the AFL will be aiming for?
They'll want to.
Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, look, I think to me it was a really interesting tactic, I think, by Peter Valantis.
And look, we very much back Peter Valantis as a game.
I think he's done a tremendous job for us.
And I think that was more of a negotiation tactic.
And, you know, obviously we ended up settling on the deal with Nine and Fox and they've retained the rights to continue to broadcast our great game.
But I think when you talk about those other streaming services, yes, there's a threat there.
Yes, they are becoming more prominent, you know, and more...
I guess, more popular, but the NRL was always big on how much is it going to cost our customers or our fans to watch the game.
We don't want them to fork out multiple different subscriptions and it get too expensive because our game, rugby league, it's a blue collar game.
