    Pacific Championships 2024

    If we want to keep it based on teams that border the Pacific Ocean (which makes sense), here's what id propose. Most be 4 teams in each, IMO. That gives 4 games a weekend. Fri night, Sat arvo, Sat night, Sun arvo. Id host most games in Aus/NZ for finance reasons, with the other nations getting...

    England v Samoa 2024 series

    Prob another benefit of england hosting next year, rather than Aus. I think the hype and crowds will be bigger over there, which should rebuild some of the hype of the ashes series before hosting them in Aus. And do some decent bloody promotion! I’m talking quality, not quantity. lets have a...

    The Case for Adelaide.....

    Yeah, in no way AO is the answer. Pretty hollow atmosphere unless it’s mostly full. I think hindmarsh stadium could work. It had a great vibe when the rams moved there….not sure if they shrunk dimensions a little to fit the ingoals. It just won a-leagues stadium of the year, and has great...

    AFL GF viewer breakdown: Syd: 464k Mel: 980k Bri: 456k Per: 344k Adl: 300k NRL GF viewer breakdown: Syd: 917k Mel: 529k Bri: 567k Per: ? Adl: ? While AFL takes the win, its interesting to see the city breakdown. A few 'wins' for NRL: -More NRL viewers in Mel than AFL in Syd. -Double NRL views...

    2024 Crowd Watch

    IMO, the negative press/social media that comes from not selling out, or 'hasnt sold out and the games tomorrow so lets run 2-for-1 deals'...is far more costly than leaving a bit of money on the table for pricing tickets slightly cheaper and ensuring demand.

    2024 Crowd Watch

    maths disagrees with you...but that is a good idea. maybe no new oval grounds in QLD then? AFL can just resize their field to play at Suncorp. Although that last statement made me vomit in my mouth a little bit.

    2024 Crowd Watch

    Respect where it's due. I despise the Roosters. However the Roosters' growth in crowds and building of community in the past 12-24 months is really solid! Congratulations and well done to those involved. Importantly, they also provide a point of difference in market versus many of the other...

    USA 2024

    The US Association of Rugby League (USARL) wishes to inform its members and the Rugby League community that Utah Rugby League Association notified the Domestic Competitions Chair late Sunday of their decision to withdraw the Provo Broncos from the National Championship Game. Prior to Utah’s...

    22 Team NRL Comp

    I like this schedule, except I’d still love fta on Friday also. one game fta on all 4 days would be awesome. Then subscription still have 7 of 11 exclusive.

    great data, thanks mate! Quite amazing that NT has higher interest per capita than NSW. I used to live there, and there's a fair affinity with QLD (origin, cowboys, broncos), so Im guessing that's what showing there.

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    you realise that England is included in 'international' right? Im not sure why we'd need to make them weaker by not allowing them access to quality competition...this would impact their ability to have a good rating international series at the end of their domestic season.

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    @The_Wookie @docbrown is there any info available regarding other media (news, social media impressions, etc)? I'd love to know how big Origin is in this regard, and I feel this would set it apart from similar sporting contests in Aus. I remember Waleed saying 5 or 6 years ago that Origin was...

    Golden Point

    bring in golden-try drop-off....the greatest of all extra-time initiatives (taken from touch footy), I think would work well adapted to RL. 2 players off every 2 mins. within 4 mins, you'd have 9-a-side. no subs. would be way quicker to complete the game without adding an extra 10 minutes of...

    USA 2024

    Taken from Wikipedia: In any context where a game score or the pair of teams meeting in a game are mentioned, the team mentioned first (left or top) is the home team, except in the United States, Canada, and Japan, where home teams are mentioned second.

    2024 Crowd Watch

    2023: Adelaide Oval - 48,613 (capacity: 53,500) = 90.8% Accor Stadium - 75,342 (capacity: 82,000) = 91.4% No more games in Sydney then? I'd be surprised if we had as many interstate travellers to Adl (as Melb) due to proximity...and a population of 1.4mil compared to Perth 2.3mil. Not bad for a...

    USA 2024

    the website still has the results from last season showing up as current, and doesn't list off all teams or comps. seems we still have a long way to go. Im hopeful of the sponsorship and cash/resource injection, and that we can improve these small things to add some professionalism and...
