The better question might be how the 150k compares with what 9Gem would normally show on a Friday. With the number of channels and programs available now, I would have thought those numbers on a...

Even less so when Transperth run minimal trains, packing everyone in fifteen to the dozen.

Good for the Force, but also interesting to ponder whether a SRau would have been feasible had things gone to plan and they'd only had four teams...

Perhaps might have looked a little different if the Force was still running a second team...?

Seen it. What I am saying is that those representing the rugby players would have to demonstrate a) a clear statistical increase in the affect on rugby players, relative to the rest of the population...

Absolutely agree, was speaking more to Alison's post and the hazards of drawing direct lines between playing rugby, dementia and liabilities.

Agree in general, but just to put a counterpoint, my friend's wife died in of that her early 50s and I'm pretty sure she never played for anyone, professionally or otherwise. In Australia it...

I'm a little undecided. If it replaced the ref always going to the TMO unless requested, might be worth a run. TBH though, it is the kiwis problem; doubt I'll see enough of their games to tell.

I'd be somewhat wary of copying AFL, if only because it is structured quite differently as a sport. The main thing for mine needs to be that administration of the amateur and professional games need...

Seems a dumb idea. Not really an issue anyway...The 'Boks won't get 500 minutes between now and then so they'd refuse to play anyway.

My first thought too, volvo. Struck me as a real case for the wahhhmbulance, when the covid record for chunks of Australia are better than NZ. They could potentially have had a proper travel bubble...

One would have thought the smart money would be in the McDonald's model...$10 extra if you already have Stan, $15 for sport alone, so only $5 extra to upsize to all the rest of the content...

Biggest question for mine remains how they will get it into the pubs. That is the vast majority of the sport's 'casual' viewership.

I read it like TiF, but agree it is not written particularly well. Can understand the concern though, when between them they almost add up to a starting team. Hopefully plans are in place to really...

RA is going to need to make some big decisions pretty soon...

My understanding was that this year the Force will yet an equal share of the revenue from SR, so can do as they wish. If equal overall funding were to materialise next year, then having the same...

Not sure a SANZAR usual suspect is trading up from a RA usual suspect though. Probably not as big a clusterf*** of an organisation, but maybe more consistently.

One can only speculate where the sport might now be positioned if they hasn't pissed away the $30M/yr windfall they got from 2016 onward, and still had the discipline to reduce its cost base by $40...

Didn't he look for a release from the Reds last time too, having arrived proclaiming his commitment to Australian Rugby? Maybe it is Queensland...

NZ demonstrating once again that talk is cheap in rugby.

IMO, GRR makes more sense for the PI teams anyway, where they will be both more competitive and encouraged to be so. It is a more sensible...

Only hear about things going on in the States occasionally, but noticed the article below today. Some interesting names involved, not to mention Australian investment in the MLR.
...

The faces on the board may have changed, may even have changed for the better at the moment, but as fast as that has happened it could unhappen again. The key realisation from it all was that, push...

If both Minderoo and RugbyWA haven't both learned that lesson (and learned it well), there's not much hope going forward.

A fairly predictable spin to be put on the news regarding revenue distribution from SR. Probably why it was so quickly dispatched to the long grass, but good to see nonetheless.

While there has been lots of talk about what should happen, I'm not sure I've seen anything previous actually confirming how the tv revenues will be split. So to me the article simply seems to be...
