There's a lot of speculation about Channel 7 bidding for Origin standalone

Stan are taking the rights from Optus for $60m p.a. with Optus continuing to pay the other $40m. https://www.afr.com/companies/sport...ulti-million-tie-up-with-stan-20250624-p5m9z3

I guess there’s only one or two league games on at a time and not much tennis or soccer live at the same time.

I hear so often from people I know who have played Rugby that they don’t have Stan so just end up watching league on Nine or league on Kayo which they get for the extra league/AFL and American content.

I understand that, I just think Rugby ends up having products reduced overall when they get the eyeball numbers. Right now there's probably too many Rugby products on Stan in fairness in regard to talk shows but it's still good to have.

You add EPL & NRL they will have these shows and probably want to bring in more talent and more expensive talent. Remember the slow decline of Inside Rugby...
