Description

The NRL is set to provide a $57 million financial lifeline to the cash-strapped Super League over a five-year period, delivering $11.5 million annually. In return, the NRL will gain increasing ownership, starting at 10 percent and growing by 10 percent yearly until reaching 50 percent parity. At least 10 of the league's 14 clubs have reportedly backed the deal, despite initial hesitation over concerns about being overshadowed by the wealthier Australian competition. The rescue package addresses mounting operating losses and dwindling broadcast rights revenue that have left the English competition in financial distress.
