    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    They should play Samoa Tonga NZ Fiji in NZ. bring England over and play Australia. The English team are a lot better than in the past, they have halves, hookers and solid forwards & backs. Australia has been hoarding all the best PIs for ages resulting in them being stronger. Australia is...

    At the end of the day they are viewers and the viewers get different ad choices - the companies won’t pay the same rates as here but it would have the same appeal to PNG marketing companies which would be of value. E.g. they might have Palmolive, Honda or something. That in turn could result in...

    That’s good mod work. I couldn’t give a f about him. He’s a loser but don’t let the reality of the situation get in the way of the video/facts.

    Pacific Championships 2024

    The money that comes out of origin lifts the game to elite sport level. You can’t shoot yourself in the foot and hope to keep walking. You’re not thinking this through properly. Each origin is worth $30-40m. That’s now. When you no take it on the road to Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth the...

    He was actually pointing at the women drinking next to him … she had like 4 cups or something - strangely however it seemed like water?

    Pacific Championships 2024

    But why not have both? It makes no sense to remove origin which single handedly is a state vs state game. Anyone in nsw or qld either unites or will unite over it. It crosses codes and gets media attention as big as the grand final

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Any presumption that a person suddenly has to play for Australian due to the fact they were born here is a fallacy. Yes, we are all Australians - but we have deep roots back to our home/heritages. Presuming also that the islands do not have more and more people replacing the current ones is...

    Pacific Championships 2024

    Why don’t we just go back to white Australia while we’re at it. The real bullshit is that Australia has been stockpiling foreign players for their convenience for years. Using $ to force people to choose is not smart. They will choose Australia as they don’t have $$$ - if $$$ we’re not involved...

    Each NRL team should be assigned a pacific island region and Australian non-NRL regional area to develop. It should be part of the the funding agreement. They should be forced to train there for 2-4 weeks in the offseason.

    Stokes is the only reason you get record deals, does he like Oxford st? AFL might have the advantage now but the NRL has been poorly managed for years. AFL can grow in Tasmania whilst we can grow in all states (afl states) and countries (nz, png and fiji) - the more we grow the bigger the deals

    2024 Crowd Watch

    I think Victorian based supporters of sport generally follow their team through ebbs and flows. The best thing that happened for the Melbourne storm is that they have had consistently good form, players for many many years and this will ensure that they have a solid layer of support aiding...

    RL is a multicultural backed sport played in the most of Oceania. Once you add in those ratings plus the growth of 3 new teams in Australia, AFL just can’t compete. The ratings may not be that important now but will influence nrl tv memberships in the future.

    Cricket will be the largest beneficiary of reach. Most people won’t watch the entire over, innings they will swap back and forth and that double counts the audience. Same with golf or Motorsport. The action is slower, but you want to see what occurs every now and then.. but not for the entire time

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    ….. An unknown third consortium of businessmen have also contacted the NRL expressing interest in a second New Zealand licence. There is a view rugby union is under siege in New Zealand and rugby league could become the dominant code if the NRL launches a two-pronged attack on the iconic All...

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    The surge in popularity of the Warriors could see a second New Zealand team fast-tracked into the NRL as early as 2026, with Peter V’landys revealing three bid teams have emerged from Christchurch. … Ex-NRL boss David Moffett is leading one of three hopeful New Zealand bids based out of...
