The NHL also have their own channel which is awesome.
The problem with the NRL channel is firstly that they only put game highlights up from bigpond, which are usually crap and often miss out on individual incidents or tries or hits - Leaving little in the way of appeal to the neutral or non-NRL market. It's a marketing failure on their behalf and it can be evidenced by the fact their channel has a combined viewcount that's lower than most the illegal uploaders lmfao. The second failure is that you can't watch the NRL channel if you're outside of Australia(and maybe Nz). Go on their official Youtube page and it's nothing but complaints from NRL fans who are being geo-blocked. They're trying to force international viewers to pay about $18 aus dollars a month to watch some shitty highlights through their big pond shit.
I'm also a Youtube NRL contributor and let me tell you, the NRL are f**king themselves, hard - without lube!
But in their defence, as I understand it, this isn't where the NRL want to be, they have contractual agreements with BigPond.
The NRL Youtube channel has been on Youtube since 2006, yet it's only amassed a total of 1,652,342 video views! This despite the fact they're the official channel and have uploaded thousands of videos over the years.
I'm telling you the NRL are f**king supertards. Give me power of their Youtube page and access to their video library and I'll have their video view count 50,000,000 before the years end. Alas, there may be light at the end of the tunnel. Here's an email I managed to get after trolling them.
"Our current rights arrangement ending December 2012 constrain us from using popular online sports content channels like YouTube, however in the next round of new media rights we will be considering all asset ownership and channels options available to us so that we maximize international exposure to NRL."
