    2023 TV/Fox/Streaming Ratings

    Didn`t take long for you to revert to form, excuses, excuses, excuses. Maybe people are just sick of watching ludicrous fumbling and bumbling across the park.

    Storm continue to be country’s most popular nrl club

    We can laugh about that but I`ve no doubt there is a very strong element of truth in it. For a long time we`ve been fighting the code war with fumbleball with one arm tied behind our back, the more union in Oz goes down the gurgler, the more League will pick-up their disaffected fans.

    Storm continue to be country’s most popular nrl club

    Yes, that was pretty much my thinking as well. Mum and Dad can control what`s on the TV but they have far lees control of what the kids are looking at on their laptops in their bedroom. League and its` players produce some great stuff (I believe) on those platforms and League highlights are...

    Save your fumbleball propaganda for elsewhere mate, enthralling fumble-a-thon from start to finish I expect. Lightweight game for lightweights.

    Still thinking about that drag venue you "stumbled" into.

    Storm continue to be country’s most popular nrl club

    Why do you think that is so ? does it suggest the next generation of sport followers in Victoria (assuming a lot of those engagements are from Vic.) are less parochial than your average f-ball cult member of previous generations or something else.

    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    I think this on-line stuff is probably the most revealing part for me. It`s all very well for a casual to flick on the TV to see how the local fumbleball team is going, it is another to actively search out news related to that sport. As Shane Richardson said recently, fumbleball has made...

    2023 TV/Fox/Streaming Ratings

    If the previously unheralded Matildas can get 20 % of the population watching I`m pretty sure that the Kiwis` national icon the AB`s, playing in a similarly, if not more, globally prestigious tournament should not record similar figures, ergo we have a very good idea that one million viewers...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Yes and the Canterbury bloke Averrillo is no slouch either. Katoa having a year under his belt in first grade and if O`Sullivan can stay on the paddock they should be in for an improved year.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    It`s just a write off. Full stop.

    Give it a rest mate.

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Cannibalising not only refers to fans. In a small economy like NZ it could also refer to sponsors. Sponsors maybe a bit thin on the ground what with unions dominance there as well.

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Been saying that for years, if we can get it right with NZ a three Test series between our two countries would very quickly replace the bledisloe, it could be absolutely massive.

    Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

    From what I`ve read it has a lot more to do with the type of union they are playing in the northern hemisphere these days, stultifying territorial forward based game plans. Any team that dares to play what might be deemed (relatively speaking of course) an open ball-in-hand attacking type game...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    I think the words the foolish blowhard mclennan used were " we have a shopping list of NRL players we`ll be in the market for". Good luck with that.

    18th club, whose next?

    To a point.
