Aye Big Mac seems very happy. I think it roughly equate to around £2 million a year per SL club and £600k per championship club, plus parachute payments and some for the RFL itself

Very forthcoming with praise!

I would stress that the RU deal is over 4 years. I think ours is over 5. But even given that it's a better deal.

What RU still has in the bag is internationals and sponsorship.

It is a great figure. However I do hope the clubs don't sit back and take the money thinking great we are solvant.

They need to push on from this and keep trying to generate more money.

We sat on that first deal thinking we where the bee's knee's as TV had given loads of money. But did not progress off field.

I think clubs should be looking to match the TV money by looking to improve attendances, but not through cheap give aways.

I think it will be a big help. Assuming some adjustments are made to the salary cap then we should be able to compete to keep the best British players over here and possibly attract some higher calibre players from the NRL than are currently coming over. As long as it's managed sensibly by clubs then this deal should help to create a buzz around the game.

It probably equates to an average increase of 1,500 - 2,000 spectators per home game. That could easily be lost if the new format doesn't work.

For the big teams, who will play each other more often, it's win win. We get bumper gates against our biggest rivals and more tv money. For the lower clubs the tv money might make up for less fans watching perceived lower opposition

What's your maths on that?
