Still, Nine means a partial paywall, which, even in the age of multiple streaming apps, is a handbrake on any sport. Usually, as with English cricket, there is a Faustian pact whereby the long-term damage means a lot more cash in the short term. This time, CA could get the extra cash and the free-to-air visibility – and may well reject both.
