    NRLW 2025 expansion - Bulldogs & Warriors

    An AFL bloke had a crack at the 2020 NRL 9s in Perth. Can't remember the name. Supposedly quite well-known, according to Fox League pundits. Didn't go well. As a viewer, I've made genuine attempts to get into Fumble. First time was in the 1980s, when a niche UK FTA channel broadcast a VFL...

    And Haneen Zreika from AFL.

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    This was the substance of the original query i.e. are there sufficient points of comparison with past data for a valid exercise. Or is this year-zero? The gap in overall FTA Average ratings between AFL and NRL is noticeably smaller this year. Presumably due to the inclusion of regionals. The...

    Diversifying Rugby League - NRL

    I'm struggling with the concept of "ménage a toir". Must be an Aussie phenomenon. If you mean ménage-a-trois, try and find a beer, curry, footy, swingers club. Failing that, there's always ménage-a-moi. Definitely an Aussie phenomenon.

    Diversifying Rugby League - NRL

    The India Jungle Cats RL team were formed in 2019. Played a few games, progress disrupted by Covid. Their game against Latin Heat was livestreamed on Bar TV. Highly entertaining, good standard. Their latest venture in May is a tri-series in Auckland with teams repping Tokelau and Cook Islands...

    The quotes below are from a Twitter exchange following Fumble opening round in NSW/QLD, sportsindustry - "Dillon to ABC - AFL was the number one program on Seven three nights in a row" Reply from (likely) NRL fan - "Not in Brisbane and Sydney it wasn't. From the few capital city ratings that...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    It's a reasonable question from a non-expert to the expert. This new system purported to be more accurate and comprehensive. Reach is now the principal figure in ratings tables. Often not labelled, let alone explained. There's no 5-city breakdown, nor metro/regional split. Add to that the...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    What are the benchmarks and context? Are figures from previous years redundant? Seems like OzTAM are dumping raw data. If I were you, I'd be all at sea.

    QLD 2024 BMD Premiership

    Would be great to see Maria make it all the way to NRLW. Anyone know what's happening with the other two Brazilians signed by Noosa last year? Ironic that Maria's Tigers were turned over on Sunday by the BMD team she was rumoured to be a possible recruit for.

    Good to see so many local products in the squad.

    QLD 2024 BMD Premiership

    What's the story here? She's listed as "Club Option" in the Cowboys NRLW squad. Played for the Cook Islands at the women's RLWC. Seemed to be fully committed to League.

    QLD 2024 BMD Premiership

    Just noticed that this weekend sees the final round of the QLD under-17s comp. So 15 teams, 4 rounds, many teams only playing 3 games. That begs a lot of questions.

    QLD 2024 BMD Premiership

    Just a little clarification. Our very own Georgia was at Souths Logan Magpies last year. She's a Cumbrian BTW, from the market town of Kendal in the Lake District.

    Should the NRL buy buy the ESL?

    The following is a passage from the recently published IRL annual report - "In Wales, the previous year's record participation number of 2,426 was smashed with 3,303 registered players in 2023, the most significant increase being in youth Rugby League as Welsh clubs continue to deepen their...

    Fitzy's league Sledge

    The Fitz schtick would be hard to take if Oz Union were in good health. As things stand, NRL fans can regard him with casual disdain.

    QLD 2024 BMD Premiership

    Blues League Tag encourages more girls to try a form of the game. A percentage of the resulting wider talent pool subsequently transition to Tackle RL. QRL and their clubs don't appear to have anything comparable.
