I work in this industry looking at the data available to me, around 10% of Stan subscribers have StanSport and less than 2% of the Australian population actually uses it on a regular basis. I do worry for the future of the platform, not Stan but StanSport if they can’t get any traction with a...

The whole market is in a flux. Most streaming services are losing money at unsustainable rates, so we will see them almost all go towards an advertising model or your subscription costs to avoid ads will dramatically go up. We have already seen Netflix move towards this. FTA has lost market...

Just did some very quick research and apparently the first magic round attracted 24,000 fans from outside QLD. If there was 3000 kiwis travelled, 2000 QLDers, 3000 NSW, 500 WA and 10000 locals then that’s pretty decent. unfortunately it’s about 8000 locals, 300 kiwis, 300 NSW, 200 qld and 50...

This is 100% the truth. The super round is a failure because fans of other teams don’t attend. The local market could do better but the complete lack of fans of other teams is abysmal

I agree we are way behind others in professional offerings and income generated but we must add some context to some of these figures as the French league money is divided 14 ways and then from memory 30% provided to lower leagues, the English league divided by 10, etc. our small amount only...

QLDer here that’s played at a few Prem clubs. People most certainly care more for the Reds than any club team.

Just makes so much sense.

But it isn’t because they get full stadiums. There isn’t a person that is an Aussie rules fan refusing to go to afl games because of a perceived disconnect, they might complain about it in some small quarters but could almost guarantee they still attend afl games throughout the year. You’d...

The whole club rugby connection is a silly argument only ever had in Australian rugby. Followers of NRL, AFL, etc couldn’t give a crap where players are from and if they are playing in a lower level locally. It’s just one of those things people in rugby have convinced themselves that it matters...

It’s in the same range of subscribers as BritBox. Stan itself is doing well, it’s the 4th largest streaming platform with 1 in 4 people with access to it.

Sigh… I work in data and have access to the amount of people that have access to the platform. I can tell you only 3.8% of the population access the platform. It’s tiny.

Nobody outside hardcore rugby fans pay for stansport. There isn’t anything on it worth subscribing to for regular sports fans

I think we are itching towards Fox by the day. Stan does a good job but it’s so hidden on Stan and then again especially on StanSport.

Well there you go. The job description is probably just saying this is what you might be doing. I know I don’t perform a lot of what my description says but can be asked to do it if required. Time to move on.

Jeez what a cesspit the last couple of pages from both sides of the argument. No wonder Aus rugby is in the shit, half the fans openly riding the death of an entity the other half blindly following to a fault. Chances are the role above is advertised to accompany and assist someone else who is...

Wonder if the ban length is a little performative because the RSA drug authority had recently been given a breach notice by WADA for not been compliant with standards.

You do realise the academies haven’t been around for 10yrs. They were scrapped for a number of years and only returned a few years ago. I remember Laurie Fisher making comment only a few years ago that it was a terrible idea to stop funding for them and called for their return, which has...

Watching the video he’s delusional that is disputing things that have been independently verified. It’s very much flat earth and not a man on the moon stuff. I have a suspicion his time in the media will be done shortly or will be sat on the sidelines after this.

I think the QLD v NSW thing has been let down over the last decade through marketing. It should be about guys wanting to bash the other, prepared to give blood and sold with disdain. But doesn’t really go with how rugby has wanted to push family friendly game for all, whereas most people want...
