I thought the pacific championship and bowl were organised by the nrl? Why would nzrl be in charge of marketing?There can be more than one party to blame.
Channel 9 wanted the match earlier because they want England v Australia in the Cricket on the primary channel and of course want to protect their precious 6pm news timeslot.
NZRL stuffed up with pricing and promotion. The ends of the ground sold okay, but having the top category at NZD90 (and having no Child/Concession/Family pricing) and having similar for the next two being similar in the current economic climate, in an area like Hamilton, was always going to make it harder.
The fact the NZRL doesn't really have a marketing team would only compound that.
