    Next TV rights deal

    That's why a 2nd NZ team should be a priority. A live game could be televised into Australia between 12noon & 2 pm every Sunday.

    NRL. You've been warned

    The Cows won the tournament without Thurston last year! I asked you before, what were the lions & Suns FTA TV ratings last year? When I looked they each were getting barely 20K in their home markets (the last 5 games). Is this true? and Union now use our own superstars to promote...

    Hayne to the NFL???

    That NRFL doesn't seem to be going anywhere. While the website is still up they're not answering any correspondence. It's been like that for some time.

    Harsh or painfully true?

    There's about a dozen EPL sides in London isn't there? There would be also more that number in 2nd & 3rd Division Soccer (fully professional) & a couple of union clubs & one super league club. There are about 50 countries in the world that have bigger populations than Australia yet the...

    Crowd Watch 2014 part 2

    I think the Crusaders have the biggest expat supporters base of all the NZ union's franchises. Anyway there will be a massive hole in their aggregate crowd numbers this year because the Reds won't make the finals. Yesterday in the Sunday-Mail at page 62 there was an article about this...

    NRL set for major salary cap review: Smith

    Have they played the 10s yet? http://www.sportshub.com.sg/sportshubtix/events/details/world-club-10s-rugby Got this from a Google search. Seems to me it will be for teams struggling to get a full compliment of 15 players. Outside the 8 nations that founded union their game struggles. At...

    SBW, Benji, Falou and Sam Burgess

    I never suggested union isn't bigger. I emphasised is still tiny on the world stage. Remember this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfjTBEGR5ck In the southern hemisphere they have not got a country with a set-up like the NRL.

    SBW, Benji, Falou and Sam Burgess

    Crap - union I still a minor sport on the world stage. It's only a major sport in one - New Zealand & they have barely 4 million population. In the northern hemisphere union only has 2 countries with full-time professional leagues. A lot of their pro clubs are propped up by sugar daddies &...
