Did you hear about the young bloke who believed if he if he put a brick in the river, it would float downstream, go over the waterfall and then float out to sea, and run into the enemy boat and sink it. Someone then pointed that the brick would sink, even if all the other stuff worked...

Been away for a while. Can't help but cheer nay scream support for the going it alone. Been saying it for soooooooooooo long actually got tied of saying it. Hope it happens. The results will be amazingly good, far better than those that argued for years against it and are slowly coming across.

Relevant... the vid is very relevant to our future... Streaming captured record share of total TV time (31.9%) in the U.S. during the month of May. Our resident Media-ologist @BrianFuhrer shares context behind the numbers in our latest edition of The Gauge: http://nlsn.co/6011zdeDl...

This may be of interest and is taken from the Roar, it appears the MLS in the US has signed a contract with Apple to stream games, not a big issue, a base fee is being charged again not a big issue, the MLS will pay for the production costs of the broadcasting ""interesting"" and the MLS can...

Do you have a link for this its very interesting and shows how far AFL has come on in recent years

Seriously you pick the only code in the worlds that applies to and are you suggesting Australia rugby & US gridiron are in any way similar in terms of support

The simple thing is broadcast hours in prime time....AFL/NRL/A-L all have roughly 200 games from various competitions , with NRL & A-l allowing 2 hours per game and AFL allowing three hours per game. Meaning AFL say 600 hours NRL / A-L 400 hours and all in prime time. Super Rugby has 91 plus...

With the new variant, and given we have teams in NZ, WA & QLD, its going to be interesting.

I did not know the following [the bold bit is interesting, and I wonder who pays] but leaving aside the question of who pays. This is if nothing else brave, I guess the reason is so they have control over who they sell to at what price. Could or should rugby do the same. The NFL [gridiron] in...

Interesting times ahead, a lot of what I call level two codes have moved and are in play across newer platforms. Will be interesting to see how we stack up against the Super Cars to 7 & the A-L to 10. To hard to compare level 1 to say level 3 as an example as the sheer amount of media and hype...

Dave I respect your passion, and believe you believe you are correct in your analysis. You’re, analysis, I suspect is reflective of many within the Rugby family. My simple reply is I think you’re, interpretation of base data is flawed due to a lack of context and nuance pertaining to that...

Dave Where to start, yes three teams in the A-L failed, Auckland was taken over and moved. Gold Coast & North QLD both Lowy WCB teams and both failed. Today the A-L is talking of expanding. Rugby folk need to be a tad more careful when analysing the A-L, because the A-L has gone threw...

Dave Everything depends on how these things are measured. The Giants and Suns, have increased the value of the AFL media deal, have helped the AFL gain government and business influence in NSW & QLD, and generally rate reasonably well. They lack similar crowds to other AFL matches but are...

Fairfax reporting on the weekend that APL (new body in charge of the aleague). AnyWho Fairfax report that APL is close to selling a 30% stake in APL for 130 million. The group being sold to specialise in under valued assets and building content. Fairfax reported almost all the 130 m wold go...

Has anyone done an analysis of FTA ratings, and does anyone know how many rugby subscribers there are on Stan.

The relevance is we are not doing anything or discussing new systems / structures. Your previous post said people wanted change so my comment about history repeating itself was wrong. Discussing new structures / systems should be happening now and be well advanced. We have agreed to maintain...

Adam No doubt you were a fan of the No Body Really Cares competitions. Both failed badly. IMO they failed because of a lack of support from all rugby stakeholders. What happen the guys in charge from start to finish developed it in six months or less. That's why it failed huge assumptions...

Let me hark back to my offerings in the past. * We need a NDC. * We need time to determine the nature of the NDC, i.e. teams, model, consensus among rugby stakeholders,, model structure i.e. my idea use USA franchise licence systems. *We need time to both develop the above into an acceptable...

^^^^^^^ There is a hard head school of thinking thats says the more you spend if you spend wisely the better you will be. Its actually hard to argue with as evidence world over says that's right and when some team breaks that mold then they become famous almost because they won with less money...

Interesting info from Fairfax today on a blind auction for the EPL rights. Fairfax provided a break down of the reach of the various streaming services...
