And maybe that`s where taking a stake, or outright buying it, the European game comes in.You say these extra weeks but the ESL won't move. So just results in pre season starting later

Theres talk at the moment of reducing fixtures in SL to avoid the loop fixtures. Will be a hard sell to clubs as most of their revenue comes from gameday. Problem over there is the challenge cup extends the season. I guess the only option if they want to be in the Int calendar is them starting the season earlier. Though RL in Jan and Feb is no fun!You say these extra weeks but the ESL won't move. So just results in pre season starting later
Its a lot, I think the avg is 58 games a year but could in theory be 74 if they won every cup!So player fatigue is worse in super league than nrl
Wonder how many games soccer players in the premier league play together with the fa cup and European comps
They sometimes play two games a week

As I said in my post it may be a case of only removing 2-3 rounds. Thats something that the NRL would need to work out.Each club round generates around five million viewers
Taking out five rounds is 25 million viewers
Australia v Tonga got 900k viewers and Australia v nz less
Its a good idea in theory and the nrl simply can’t afford to do it
NBA teams can play up to 4 game a week. You just can’t compare sports like that to RL.the physical toll on their bodies would be vastly different to league though.
I’m not saying it’s not doableAs I said in my post it may be a case of only removing 2-3 rounds. Thats something that the NRL would need to work out.
Just a few things on your stats though. Firstly total viewership isn’t everything. For example SOO only gets maybe a little over 2 rounds of the NRL but which of those do you think networks would rather have? Not saying that international games would rate like SOO either before you reply.
I think it’s a little unfair doing this calculation based on how Tonga vs Australia rated this year. Right now the international game is an afterthought that is basically treated like a joke by all levels of league from the players to the personalities to the people running the game. I don’t think it’s at all unreasonable to think these games could rate significantly higher.
IF the NRL was to go ahead with this I think there would be multiple factors as to why they would do it.
1 - To placate the RLPA.
2 - They believe it has the potential to increase the interest and viewership of the remaining NRL rounds
3 - they believe that by focusing more on the international game and really pushing it that they can significantly improve ratings. Maybe they saw the Matilda’s this year and thought they want a piece.
4 - potentially allows them to push more into places outside of NSW and QLD. This may be valuable to advertisers.
5 - they may see potential in the NRLW growing and needing more airtime away from the NRL season which may fill the gap somewhat.

Nooooo.If we go to 20 teams, we don’t have to be playing 10 games for the entire 22 weeks (RLPA preferred number). 2 teams can have a bye some weeks

Nine / gem?
Is Fox / Kayo in those numbers ?
22 games is only 2 fewer than they currently play, is that going to make any difference to player injuries and performance?
Shame nz v tonga was hidden away on gem.
CC cup final is up around 1mill I think? Thats still great numbers for an England game though.
More than double the super league grand final (on pay only)
Does the cup final get those numbers ?
