    Australian Rugby / RA

    I've got little doubt wherever stupid ideas occur the fund will be sniffing around, but there's a pretty massive difference between maybe contributing a team or a sponsorship and a complete sportswashing "takeover" like they did with LIV Golf, or they seem to planning to do with the ATP/WTA, or...

    Unless the Saudi Public Investment fund comes to play I don't see it.

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    I'm not suggesting any of the individual services are up to snuff, simply talking apples for apples comparisons to where we were around 15 years ago, where Sport was on FTA or Foxtel (including extra subscriptions). If we say we want 4K to keep up with the technology of the times: Prime - $10...

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    My vaguest recollection of prices from around 15 years ago was that your minimum "get everything other than PPV" sport package from Foxtel involved Basic + Sport + HD + HD box Rental fee + Setanta: which ran you around $100/month: that translates into about $145 in today's money. It also didn't...

    Aussie Player Exodus

    I would have thought at espoirs level they'd be happy enough, presuming it doesn't impact JIFF. That would presumably go extra if it returned to being most frequently European based.

    Is it Saudi Public Investment Fund backed? I can't see anyone else dumping that much money in this economic environment

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    Both Union and League would do well to actively disavow "fight club is aspirational" schtick whenever possible. Can't do too much about individuals not under any contract but I hope current players are kept very very far away from it.

    Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    I thought the squad size cap was 28, did they up the numbers in the last year or two?

    Aussie Player Exodus

    In a way, it seems to be the opposite of the French thing (and to a much smaller extent what the Aus/NZ Schools are doing): 6 years in the Japanese Education system before high school suggests that a substantial portion of these changes are targeted at the Pacific Islanders (I think primarily...

    Stan Sport already has Champions League right? Big step towards being the default streaming service for Football fans rather than Paramount or Disney etc.
