Study of Super League Australia- Media Nexus, An under-represented /studied subject in management but a huge business potential.Applicable to all Sports Leagues Industry in US, Europe, or Asia.
The NRL has taken various approaches to its administrative side of the game, whether it is expansion of the game, negotiating broadcast rights, player misbehaviour and misconduct and various other issues in the game. Issues that use to be decided among a string of members from separate boards, the Australian Rugby League (ARL), and News Ltd, will now be decided by a new Independent Commission.
Under the current structure, the game is governed 50/50 by its owners, News Ltd and the ARL. News is transferring its half-share of the game to the ARL, which is being restructured under a new constitution as the Australian Rugby League Commission, aligning the eight commissioners, the NSWRL, the QRL, CRL and the 16 NRL clubs as new members under one roof.
The introduction of the new Independent Commission was suppose to occur on November 1, possibly a little later, with a variety of issues still to be resolved between the stakeholders ARL, QRL, NSWRL and News Ltd.
So, how will the commission benefit Rugby League when resolving some of its major issues?
Firstly, it will negotiate the upcoming T.V broadcast rights, followed by expansion of the League, a rise in the salary cap, progression of grass roots footy and the rescheduling of rep games.
All of these areas are a major focus for the Commission, and if handled right, could lead Rugby League into a very successful future.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

7. 1. Significance of Super League
There is an increased Commercial and Social Significance of Sports, Media &
Sporting Bodies worldwide
The economics, events, competitiveness and management of local resources
surrounding the Sports Leagues Industry is under- represented in Management
Literature
The general monopolistic tendencies of professional sports leagues are driven by
sports-media nexus worldwide
The holistic analysis of the Super League saga in Australia affords lessons that
extend beyond the realm of sports and has many parallels worldwide in US,
Europe, etc.
7
8. 2. Background of Super League
With the advent of live broadcasting of on TV
& radio, the negotiation of television contract
has become the most economically rewarding
and biggest issue in the game since Nineties
The commodification of sport,propelled by the
advent of television and pay TV which in turn
has resulted in commercial battles
As the most popular television & spectator
sport in New South Wales & Queensland,
rugby league constituted a rich market in
Australia.
From 1982 to 1994, Sydney TRP for rugby
league increased from 17.3 to 46.7, with rugby
league competition becoming the most
watched programs in Australia.
The inability of “News Limited” to gain the
rights to televise the Australian rugby league
competition for its pay-television channel
Foxtel provided a key impetus for subsequent
moves to establish “Super League in Australia”

9. 3. Sports League Global Events– TV Plus
Media View
SkyB purchased the right to televise English
Premier League Soccer for £304m in 1992
Rugby Football League in Britain accepted £87
m offer from BSkyB for a five year television
deal in 1995
Manchester United produce profits of £28m on
a turnover of £88m in 1998
Fox Network has agreed to pay Cablevision
Systems Corp. US$23-25m to sublicense 50
Yankees baseball games in 1999
FIFA sold the worldwide TV rights for 2002-
2006 World Cup to Leo Kirch & Sports for
US$2.2b
Ruport Murdoch’s Fox Network paid US$1.6b
for the rights to telecast NFL for five years
9
10. 4. Sport League and Its Nature
Careful handling of local resources is important
for the success of global strategies
Effective management of resources is key to
production of ‘rugby league product’
The use of sporting analogies as social
representation of competing businesses may,
however hold some dangers
Key Resources include Players & Coaches,
Loyalty of Players towards the Game,
Contracts, etc.
10
11. 5. Sport League-Media Nexus View
Increasingly teams and clubs sell their rights
to broadcasters
Direct ownership of sporting teams by media
moguls avoids the cost of paying for the rights
to broadcast their games
The media sponsorship helps in many ways-
increased revenue, attract outstanding
players, fuels the explosion of interest in the
game, increase in their merchandise (T-Shirts,
posters, etc.)
The global television networks aids sporting
teams in developing their ‘brand’ globally and
engage in further lucrative deals with other
corporate entities (like PepsiCo, Reebok,
Samsung, etc.)
11
12. 6. The key economic agent
Economic agent - The key economic agent in the core system
could be Media Tycoon Mr. Rupert Murdoch the majority
owner of ‘News Limited’ ( subsidiary of Fox). He formed the
local pay-TV channel Foxtel as 50-50 joint venture between
News Limited & teloc Telstra.
ARL and NSWRL had limited experience with the sport-
television nexus when compared, for example to Mr. Rupert
Murdroch’s involvement in Europe
He championed the creation of Super league and had fought
legal battles against the monopolistic nature of broadcasting
rights given to local Channel Nine /Optus Vision by
ARL/NSWRL
He made several deals & alliances with players, teams, other
corporations to make it happen
12
13. 7. Main Assets
It was difficult to identify key resources & assets due the
complex nature of relationship of individual players,
coaches, etc.
The complexity that makes them difficult to duplicate is
amplified in circumstances where no one individual
understands the ‘whole’.
The key Assets as identified by News and NSWRL/ARL
were the players.
The co-operation of some Clubs was also essential and
can be seen as asset, the co-operation of players
needed by new competition was equally important.
Coaches were also deemed a key asset & instrument in
signing up players
13
15. Star was to own all intellectual property rights,and was to pay News a 15
per cent management fee.
The licensee was required to maintain a team that was to participate in the
Super League competition, and each current club forming part of a
syndicate owning a particular licensee was to release existing players’
contract to enable the best possible team to be fielded.
In parallel, separate deeds were signed between News and Star, the
relevant licensee and the corresponding clubs. As part of deeds, News
agreed to indemnify the club inter-alia from any liability that it may incur to
ARL and or NSWRL under the Commitment Agreement or the Liability
Agreement.
Same was signed with Club’s Directors and officers. Eight clubs had
entered such deals for Super League.
A deal was reached in Dec 1997 between ASL & ARL to form a merged 20
team competition from 1998. Comprising 8ASL teams, 11 ARL teams and a
newly formed Melbourne team.
The arrangement was made against a backdrop of massive losses both by
Optus Vision and Foxtel.
Through StarTV in Asia, BSkyB in Europe and Fox Broadcasting in US,
Murdoch has the ability to give a chosen sport global coverage!
It was a conflict between Foxtel and Optus Vision for the international free-
to-air and pay-TV rights to the sport in Australia
15
16. The inability of “News Limited” to gain the rights to televise the Australian
rugby league competition for its pay- television channel Foxtel provided a
key impetus for subsequent moves to establish “Super League in Australia”.
Foxtel is the pay-television channel 50 per cent owned by News Limited, a
subsidiary of Ruport Murdoch’s News Corporation, in a co-venture with
public telco Telstra.
Optus Vision is the pay-TV channel comprising a co-venture between telco
Optus, Continental Cablevision and Kerry Packers’s
Publishing & Broadcasting Ltd, which is also involved in the operations of
terrestrial Channel Nine.
Later News and a subsidiary of Star league Pty Ltd (Star) entered into
separate heads of agreements with seven newly established entities
In this agreement Star was to set up and promote a Super league
competition involving Australian and New Zealand teams.
News was entitled to all shares in Star until start-up costs and accumulated
losses were recouped, after which the capital of Star was to be restructured
so that licensees could obtain shares entitling them to 50 per cent of the
vote at a general meeting.
16
17. The Super League saga in Australia adds to the pre-existing Sports-
Media Nexus in professional Team sports market for competition
The increased revenue ensures higher payments to Players
The Super League saga in Australia may well serve as a cautionary
tale to dominant firms (ARL & NSWRL) in seemingly stable Markets not
yet exposed to some of the newer technologies and the competitive
opportunities and risks these technologies afford
The commercial value of these markets for competition incites extreme
rivalries behaviors that can promote Monopolistic Positioning
Monopolistic tendencies of sports leagues developed from the network
effect that enhances the ‘rugby league product’ value
Increases the number of persons (spectators) consume it
A cycle of increasing returns thus eventuates, in which the appeal of
increased spectatorship to sponsors, merchandisers and broadcaster
leads to an array of complementary products and services that further
fuels spectatorship
