Excellent upgrade on the content on offer and fan engagement

Unsure why everyone is panicking about the staff being put under 4 month deals - whole scenario says to me that RA will see the Rebels ship sink and with it the debt. Rebrand under a new name as the RA Rebels and keep all under contract Rebels for 2025 and reappoint coaches as they see fit. Then...

Think it might be Jim Tucker - interviewed James Horwill, now in some type of interviewing role?

Mention of Daniel Hallangahu for an assistant role - currently backs coach for the Blues but agree interested on what the coaching team looks like

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2024/01/09/six-nations-2024-player-names-on-shirts/ Have said for a while this is such an easy way in Super Rugby to put the spotlight on the players. Also hope they are discussing a retro round where every team wears an old school jersey - would create...

Easy thing they have been doing in the Champions Cup to drive support is for upcoming fixtures marketing the stars of the World Cup as the draw cards from the game, we need to build personalities in Super Rugby for the game to be relevant again

https://www.therugbypaper.co.uk/features/blindside-rugby-transfer-column/413026/quins-looking-out-to-the-wings/ Report out of the UK saying Harlequins are submitting they will lose Louis Lynagh after this season to come home to push for Wallabies honours. This would be great for our depth with...

Article on The Roar suggesting international insurance firm BMS Group to be unveiled as the front of jersey sponsor for The Reds this week until 2027 and the naming rights partner for the new training centre. Stephen Moore has a vested interest as he’s the chief executive of their QLD arm. Great...

Great incentive i heard out of the premiership that each week the players are getting sent out highlight clips to reshare on their own socials to increase fan engagement - would love to see similar in Super Rugby and the Super Rugby Socials pages posting constant highlights of games or players...

Really interested to see if we can see the effects of the Super Rugby commission this season - I did like the fact that they reported that they want the game to have less ref influence and showcase the best possible brand of rugby to put on display

Millard currently assuming the role of “head coach” at Harlequins after they sent their head coach upstairs, so imagine he might give a bit more of a helping hand if they opt for Larkham as coach and might have advantages with assistant coaches he could bring

Billy Millard (Harlequins DOR) and Peter Horne (Current World Rugby Director of High Performance) two candidates named for DOR position who both have extensive experience for the position

A bit alarming that the telegraph reports neither RA or the tahs are in talks with him about resigning - surely now is the time after he’s already met with the Roosters…

With Eddie calling a press conference on Monday and meeting with Rugby Australia before we can only imagine that he will be announcing his resignation… Where to for now ? Dan McKellar would be our best option and bring a bit of calm to the role - surround him with quality assistant coaches...

How do we get this happening ASAP - would also bring big value to broadcasting rights with more interesting games and more marketable players

This is a great idea

I think this is the right call - none of the major codes have bucked the system for a reason, the Kayo network and being on a platform where the most amount of avid sports watchers can view is imperitive for the World Cup but also our game

Classic NRL piece - if you look into it his manager hasn’t spoken to anyone and answered no texts or calls according to buzz rothfield

Completely agree - having one FTA game doesn't matter when no one watches the game, Channel 9 hasn't done anything to promote these fixtures. I would argue more people that actually watch sport who have been lost to watching other codes jump on their Kayo Sports on a weekend to see the schedule...

The death of Australian Rugby has largely been down to the fact that the average punter doesn't have Stan Sport or know games are even on 9Gem. As much as I despise the Fairfax medias treatment of Rugby - getting back on Foxtel and more largely Kayo should be of premium importance to solidify...
