    ANZ Stadium - Scheduling clash Round 25

    Here is what probably happened. The Sydney Swans play 3 games a year at ANZ Stadium. This year one game was a road game against GWS, one was against Collingwood, and the other (because it was a GF rematch) against Hawthorn. For some unknown reason, the AFL scheduled the match for the last...

    Crowd Watch, Part III

    Ok, with the beginning of a new thread, let's go beyond whining and having dick-measuring contests and discuss how to improve crowds. Here are my suggestions: 1. First and foremost, go to games. I know a lot of people on this forum already do this, so good for those who do. (I personally...

    Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

    With the Easts vs Souths crowds situation, I think that both crowds are good. As a Souths fan, I think we can do a little better. I think it is pointless comparing crowds between the 2 teams because a lot of the figures have to do with form and who the away team is in a given week.

    State Of Origin ratings.

    Here is my plan.... Start the season one week earlier. Play Origin 1 on a standalone weekend and market that weekend as "Origin Weekend." Fill that weekend with an NRL Skills competition, U20 and Reserve Grade Origin, NZ Origin, and PI tests. Play games 2 and 3 on Wednesdays as normal. Space...

    Crowd Watch 2013 - Part Deux

    How about we interrupt our lol@souffs (and Lol@dragons) session for a second. Ok, how about every year the Dragons don't host the ANZAC match, the Dragons host the Dogs at SFS on the Queens Birthday (with Origin I a week or two after that)? So the makeup of games every year would be 6 at the...

    NRL season structure

    For the next tv contract, scrap most Monday night games. Here is what a typical weekend schedule of games should look like from 2018 onwards (assuming of course, the NRL expands to 18 games): Fri: 2 games FTA, both starting at 7:15-7:30. Have one game on a FTA channel and the other on a...

    NRL season structure

    Ok, here is my crazy plan: 1. Scrap the test bye weekend. Mid-April is a weird time for playing a random test. In addition, City v Country is an outmoded concept. I have heard arguments about brush footy, but I am thinking clubs taking games to regional areas could alleviate those concerns. In...

    Todd Greenberg is so right

    Quick question, why are blockbusters such as Roosters-Bulldogs played over Origin period?

    Unrelated question, how did Rabbitohs vs Storm get 35k this year?

    TV Deal Announced

    You have been misreading Doc's posts on here. Nowhere did he claim that the NRL is going to get x amount of money nor did he say that a broadcaster is going to get x in the rights negotiations. All he did was highlight LEK's evaluations of the NRL rights and highlight what the broadcasters...

    The T.V Rights Thread Part III

    If somehow 10 gets the rights in this phase (which I seriously doubt), then they are putting up a bunchload of cash for the NRL. How much, I don't know, but it would be well over a billion.
