Just a few questions about this, as I know it's coming up at the end of the season(?) or sometime soon anyway.  The last deal was roughly $120m - was that per year or for the whole 5 years?  I know each club was allocated $1.2m (though there were original mistaken reports saying $12m).  How high are the FFA likely to be able to get this and how much would each team receive?

Also, I don't fully understand how this works.  Fox pays millions to show the games - how do they get the money back?  I know some would subscribe for this reason alone but there's got to be more than that.  I'm sure if it wasn't so damn hot I could think of a few more ways (but probably not many in all honesty) so if anyone knows I'd appreciate being enlightened.

Is that what all the chicks say?

Spot on, this is the type of stuff I like talking about.

In short, the thread regarding this matter is here: http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11247

We've heard nothing since late 2009 on it, but the talk is of a $A60 million per year, 5-year deal.

Not confirmed.
