Such a transfer could be shot down on the negotiating desk by 9 or another free-to-air broadcaster when the following TV deal is negotiated for 2028 onwards.

Abdo responded by saying 9 must agree to vary the kick-off time for any 12 months within the present broadcast cycle which runs one other three seasons after this one.
9 reap in hundreds of thousands in promoting income from the later kick-off time and would chortle any suggestion to deliver it ahead out of the room.
“It’s one thing that shall be thought-about by the (ARL) Fee within the new broadcast cycle,” Abdo stated.
“At this explicit time limit, there’s no plans to vary it, however that’s one thing that may be thought-about and we must work inside the business preparations that we have now.”
