    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    IMO arguing about whether Perth or NZ2 should be 19th or 20th in terms of when they arrive is pointless. I think it's far more important that whichever order we choose to have new clubs that we build a roadmap and give the clubs plenty of time to get their affairs in order. Give them a few years...

    Pretty clear cut dominance there. This is a big part of why NZ2 is so important. If the warriors aren't going well (and let's be real they often aren't) that greatly hurts RL in NZ on the whole. International footy is unfortunately still mostly irrelevant and so we're basically reliant on this...

    I’m no expert so I’m not sure if advertisers feel the same way. Reach to me seems mostly worthless with more traditional ways of viewing content. I’m not saying it’s totally irrelevant (it does generally give you an idea of how many total people you can reach) but for the most part average seems...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    I think it’s more been normalised and digital content pushed a little more by the NRL. I don’t think anything has really changed in how YouTube counts views in that time. Pretty different products though. Also YouTube generally shows an ad when you first start a video so views have more...

    Damn you must have some dedication going to a game like this.

    I know this is only slightly relevant to this thread but felt like I wanted to share it somewhere. On the ABC news on the sports segment they just said one of the male riders in the giro d’talia had a fractured cervix and I lost my shit 😂

    40 for kids is insane IMO and seems very short sighted when it comes to building a future fan base.

    Rugby League is in the greatest shape ever. (Discuss)

    Big crowds. Big TV viewers. Higher revenue than ever. The game finally looking like it’s going to start expanding in a serious way. It’s kinda hard to argue with. On the field is debatable but that’s always so subjective. Edit: Forgot to mention more teams playing out of state of the art stadiums.

    Fairness is impossible to achieve. Even if you had the exact perfect draw faced everyone the same amount etc there are still so many factors to consider. Injuries, SOO players, whether you’re facing teams at the start or end of the season etc. Let’s be really for a second any team who is...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Ultimately Sydney needs a large stadium to attract big events. The problem is Accor just isn’t fit for purpose.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I mostly agree and think that the Hunter as a region deserves more funding. At the same time I f**king love sitting on the hill in Newy so I’d miss that for sure.

    TBH I don’t care if it’s 22K or 27K it looked packed and had an incredible atmosphere. If all NRL games were like this it would be amazing IMO and people would be more excited to go to games. It doesn’t look as good on a stat sheet but who cares.

    18th club, whose next?

    I don’t think it matter if the broncos and dolphins average 40K+ each this year. We just expanded in SEQLD and it would be beyond idiotic to expand their so soon again whilst the dolphins are building their brand (and frankly GC continues to try and get a good foothold).

    PNG's back.

    I specifically said in my post I was talking about things besides money. I’m not going to disagree with you because I’ve posted for years about why I don’t think this is a good idea. I was trying to be positive and talk about IF this expansion actually goes well. I’m not blind to the potential...

    PNG's back.

    Lack of pathways to the NRL, lack of funding, difficulty getting visas, lack of interest from the NRL. It’s hard to know exactly and you’d probably be better off asking people more familiar with the situation on the ground in PNG. As for point 2 it depends really, a long time IMO. It all...

    I can’t imagine Telstra digital was reaching nearly these sorts of numbers.

    PNG's back.

    I know this thread isn’t about PNG anymore but though I’d make a comment about them anyway. There are plenty of people who have been very negative about this from the beginning (and I maintain that it could be a huge f**king blunder) but I thought I’d talk about the positives. For me the the...

    I feel like I’ve made similar comments in the past but that’s wild. I remember when 400K on fox was basically the peak for big NRL games.

    Is this really kayo only? Huge numbers tbh.

    If this actually goes through I’m more than happy to eat crow lol. Still won’t believe until it’s 100% announced by the NRL.
