It seems there may be an issue for members who have previously opted out of email marketing

What role does Rugby Australia play on the "partnership"? Are they administrating the funds?

The reports I saw said that there were some issues with delay of the signal in that game, but not the data itself. So the players took high acceleration hits, but it didn't appear to the doctors for some time until after the tackle actually occurred, which is probably why the players were...

You don't have to wear one, but if you don't you can't access the HIA1 assessment, meaning if the doctor sees you taking a hit and pulls you off that's it, you can't come back on

People focus on the wrong metric. It's not ball-in-play time that's the problem, it's the eternity in between that's the issue - the ball-out-of-play time. This is what sucks all the energy out of a stadium and it's when people change channel. We all know the issue - When a knock on happened at...

Looking forward to the inevitable commentary outrage when the first player not wearing a mouth guard is removed from the game and can't come back on as only players wearing IMG are eligible for HIA1 assessment

Bit more info on the tech from Prof Ross Tucker's Twitter. There have been 9000 head accelerations measured though 9 matches in the six nations so far with 7 alerts triggered. So around 1 in every 1200 accelerations or less than 0.01% being flagged. I saw some reports that there were 8 in the...

Tavs v Rebels in May 2023 was on the main channel, but only in Sydney. When they do that kind of city split it's usually impossible to find the ratings And just to add - the lowest rating program that's actually reported on is usually around that 65k mark. Most games last year didn't crack that...

166k is pretty good for Super Rugby on FTA, but it's shockingly bad for that timeslot on the main channel, even if it's for NSW and qld. So the answer is mixed The reach (everyone who watched for a min of 1 minute) was much larger than the total audience, which means people watched for a bit ...

Rebels (&VRU) have been voting members through all of the decisions over the last few years. I wonder if they have been actively voting against RA boards actions at RA AGMs etc.

They've changed the way they report ratings this year. That 736k is "reach", measures anyone who watched for 1 min while the show was on. The 166k is closer to what the ratings would have been reported last year and previously. Unfortunately, it means a lot of people watched a little bit, and...

Is there any way MR can force RA to give them their Super Rugby licence back at this point? Or is it completely up to RA?

I watched a replay looking out for what could have triggered ALB who was subbed at around 75min. I reckon it was probably a tackle made at 73:41 on the match clock. Scott Barrett came in as a third tackler and kind of ran into ALBs head, who was ducked and tied up in the tackle, but still on...

Only one supplier at the moment https://www.opro.com/instrumented-mouthguards

As I understand it, there is no real change to the HIA protocol, and the mouthguards don't diagnose a concussion. They are just used as another indicator that someone may need to enter the HIA protocol - a Criteria 2 case

Ross Tucker has put out lots of info on the smart mouthguards, both on X/Twitter and his podcast real science of sport, if anyone is interested in getting more info from someone very close to the project

Simon Cron would have to be the poster boy for our coaching development wouldn't he? If he can't make a difference, and his team runs out looking like they are poorly coached, what hope do we have?

Where does repayment of ATO PAYG tax fall on the priority list of creditors? If they get the $8m does that wipe their personal liabilities, or do others get repaid first?

RA is paying. Which is probably why they just made 10 of their staff redundant
