@netballgirl I also think there was a suggestion that maybe there’s more money flowing into the sport than what’s being reported (was an article on it a few weeks back). I also think the revenue share only kicks in after a certain point but I could be wrong, I know this point was contested quite a bit between parties.
I also think ANPA are going for this now because otherwise players will be locked in for another 3 years, if not longer, without being able to change the terms. ANPA arguably is also thinking that it will be easier to build on what they’re asking of NA incrementally (I.e. every few years when they negotiate player contracts) rather than wait until the sport is succeeding and then ask for something that NA will make harder to get.
