except this is made in England I think. That makes it noteworthy IMO when people overseas start to point to our issues.

Sorry in advance if this has been posted elsewhere, I have looked and can't find it posted, its 6 days old.

FMD The RL women's game came third in Thursday nights ratings.

If its in 2026, its up against the FIFA world cup, followed by the Rugby WC in 27, could be shotting yourself in the foot as you highlight how small you are.

There is a line of through that creating structures that develop players to move overseas to further their career and possibility earn more money, actually encourages more people to look at playing in such a development program. The thinking goes I too could go overseas and earn more. Meaning...

One thing the last mob did cleverly was to get a 12 month extension to the media deal. This should result in an upward trend in ratings with Wales this year and the BL next year.

From the Conversation, interesting about NZ Board, wonders aloud if it also reflects Australia. BTW quite a long article. https://theconversation.com/nz-rugbys-big-test-can-it-select-the-right-boardroom-players-for-the-modern-game-232483

Sadly the SS is a shadow of its former self. With key heartland areas we had almost gone today.

According to the following vid, league's next expansion team will be Perth. What affect this will have no idea.

^^^^^ using that as a guide and say QLD had 50 players capable of being professional, that in rough terms means a player somewhere between 140 & 150 players . Seems a tad low but if they are the figures thats what they arre.

Sorry miss read the euro tag as pounds. From google. """The total prize money is around €2.5bn and an initial €2bn will be distributed among the 32 teams that book their plane tickets to the USA. Qualification therefore brings €50m as a minimum, while there will be other results-based bonuses...

Well put another way how many players on the whole are needed to be able to get say 25 top quality players. I have no idea by code how many players actually play rather than those quoted where someone turns up for 10 minutes on a meet and greet. But how many players do you need overall to have...

Those with more knowledge I call on your expertise. Central Coast Rugby has 10 teams, with a tad over 2,000 players, roughly spilt 1,000 seniors n 1,000 juniors. My question is how many players do you need to be able to run a professional team. The Mariners have a well established and...

It's pounds not euros. If it is Auckland FC as suggested they will get on current exchange rates about 104 million NZ dollars. Over 80 million Aussie.. Wonders aloud if the local governing body will let them keep it all. No idea what kinda crowds they pull but that is a lot of money.

You miss my point, first no A-L club will make the top four in Asia so no money for Australia. But with Oceania being granted a spot then its most likely a NZ team will be the team that qualifiers'. Meaning fifty million pound into NZ every four years thats a lot of money how they spent it and...

Just on being a global game as you mentioned. FIFA are starting a new 'Club World Cup" it will be once every four years. Oceania will get one team in the 32 team competition, and the money for starting is 50 million pounds, roughly 80 million Aussie. As A-L teams can't take part in it as they...

I would argue the past decade illustrates the need to invest in developing rugby in the broader community. Further developing a framework to invite new teams.

Ch 7 today announced major senior management cuts, Ch 9 also major management cuts and questions pertaining to its senior management style, with 10 in stalled media buy out talks via stalled Paramount stalled talks. Wonders aloud, if being on a FTA station, has anywhere the affect it had say 20...

Very very very true. However at some stage debate must take place, as another top down change would / will fail and fail badly. Further doing nothing will also fail IMO, Dru over the page, put forward his idea, and to me it sounds workable. The issue is its his idea, and his idea may not be...

Super Rugby in its current form is not working if part of its objectives is to develop and spread the word to the broader community. RA, have a windfall year next year and ratings and subscriptions should increase for national teams. Given the media deal ends next year it will be a good time to lift...
