Parramatta Eels Juniors

[Gronk]

Many years ago ch 9 would put a schoolboys game on TV.
I'm unsure why ch 9 doesn't televise sg ball and promote it as a mid week game.
Finals bare minimum should be televised.

That’s cos CommBank paid for everything.

You think Foxtel would have picked it up to add more content to their footy chanel

I think the networks know that only mad merkins like us woukd watch it. What I don’t get is why the junior games are so difficult to watch and are only accessible via live Facebook streams. Fair enough and live stream it on the day, but what’s stopping NSWRL uploading all the games to YouTube on a Monday. I’d love to watch a Flegg or Ball game during the week. OK they might not have commentary, but that’s what we get when they post highlights midweek.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Twindle, Sanders and Arthur will make it.

I reckon Talagi and Sanders are the only sure things. Arthur is a maybe, imo, along with half a dozen others.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon Parry might be the pick of them.

Apparently he's no longer injured. Just can't get back into the team.

 

[JokerEel]

Do you think people would be willing to pay more for Foxtel/Kayo if there was more content like SG Ball/High School football?

Not at all but Nine won't spend money on the Junior comps.

So if it isn't really going to increase Foxtel's revenue, then what is in it for them?

If they Promote it they may get some people watching.

Wasn't the Holden/Toyota cup rating higher than the AFL on Fox?

You asked if people were willing to pay more.

Ads is where these companies make $$$

If they can play the SG ball at a time where Foxtel have replayed NRL 360 for the 10th time then I would assume it would get more eyes..

They've already got the ad revenue though whether it is an SG Ball game or the 10th replay of NRL 360. People forget that NRL games on TV don't produce themselves.

I just want more footy..

Yes they have ads but if they have better content than replays of shit panel shows which will attract some people to actually watch they can get more $$ from the ads during that show.

True.

I actually think that all clubs should go to Foxtel about producing and showing their own content. Allocate 30 minutes, or even 60 minutes, on Fox League for each club each week, but it is up to the clubs to produce the content. I'm sure Foxtel could provide some equipment and studio space to facilitate, which would cost next to nothing for them, as it is already an expense they have to have.

It would be up to each club to decide what that content was, whether it was a Tiger Town expose like they did, or a podcast from the fans on the team like TCT, or show what they do at training, or take fans behind the scenes of how the club operates, or even just a one on one face to face thing with the players and coaching staff. As long as it wasn't 17 of the same thing I think there would be an audience, and a lot of fans would watch other teams shows if it was good content

The QRL and NSWRL could do the same. It appears both states are producing the content already, why not go to Foxtel to have it broadcasted. If there was minimal cost to Foxtel, and no more broadcast rights money expected, then I'd say they would be onboard.

Exactly. Add to that kids don’t want to give up their weekends for sport any more (preferring gaming). There are a lot of good reasons to make high school ball the focus. Make the season 10 games long and cut HM and Sg ball (which have a roll to play) down to a knockout or a 3 game season.

There are alot of schools. The spread of talent makes for weaker teams and a weaker product. Might end up funnelling all the kids to a select few schools (even more than it already is)

Foxtel/Kayo is about subscriptions .... it would come down to whether they think it would attract more subscribers ... i have doubts it would make an impact.

Nine is ad oriented. But it would seem they feel they are better off going with the womens game.

Great ideas I wish the Club's thought like this .

I don't know why the club can't record all club games that are not on TV then add it to the price of membership to allow us to watch.

Fox is also as oriented.

Ita a pipe dream to be able to watch all levels of the game on TV won't ever happen..

There is some money from ads, but their existence relies on subscriptions

Of course because if no one is watching there is no $$$

 

[Sensei Cobra]

As I said, time wasters. Go have another mean girls meeting and do better.

You messed up this one. Next !

You should actually pay attention to this feedback. Strider is one of the nice guys and this is telling
