What makes you think that will be the case? Even if we had something to bargain with we're dealing with two hostile partners who have no interest in hearing out our concerns on any issue.

Then there's that. Are the franchises bound to go with RA's position or are they capable of making their own decisions? I understand there's a funding model in place but RA are as vulnerable to them leaving and they are to staying at this point.

And that would be fine if it were a give and take situation. But it's been all give from us and take from them. We've already cut one team in the Force and now despite our objections it's likely the Sunwolves are heading for the scrapheap. It was ridiculous in 2017 now it's beyond a joke. I'd...

Okay. So with this shit show continuing all to appease external parties it's about time we looked to suit ourselves as well. We need to look at expanding our competitive offerings in my opinion. Stay in Super Rugby but also look at setting up something with GRR post both competitions involving our the...

Yep. If I were GRR I'd be on the phone with them right now with an open invitation.

Fuck me.

IMG have come in with a £1.25b offer for the 6Ns. This is nuts.

Even if it is tiered the influx would be transformative. If D1 get £10m, D2 get $7.5m and D3 get £5m a season that's still going to have a huge impact.

It'll certainly balance things out.

It's a crazy amount of money. Over on reddit there's posts suggesting it will be distributed evenly across all participants 1-38. Which would be insane. A women's league would follow a couple of years after and that SANZAAR, France and Wales are all keen. Which puts them close. I can see both...

Yeah, that could be the head turner needed for the Unions to change their minds on the issue. They could give each Union within the structure from division 1 through 3 the highest quoted income of $18m every year, which they won't as I imagine it will be tiered, and still has $100m to spend on...

I've been a fan of World Rugby looking at something like this for some time. The key thing is to ensure that the app is actually of high quality in order for it to be successfully adopted. But they could have an absolute mountain of content if they did it right. Well, worth the sub.

It was the TV broadcast apparently.

My understanding is that they represent the combined numbers. As for the My Football App. I suspect we'll likely never see anything from them. Which we can make of it what we will but I suspect that if it were going gangbusters something would have been reported about it.

It'll take time for the platform to take root. We'll see how they are tracking this time next year.

The All Star game was down by 23% and the Charity Shield was done by 31%.

https://reports.oztam.com.au/#/live Nothing shows up for last week and 6k from the Brumbies game for the week before.

According to this poster it the the week he found had Super Rugby at a little over 10k on Kayo. Which certainly would help the averages. So they certainly are having an effect. They're not accounting for the total increase that Strewth has alluded. Well, at least not the figures posted on that particular...

No, someone actually found those over on The Roar after a Soccer fan stated that most A-League fans had jumped across to that service. The figures didn't support that.

Well, when they can show me some figures to back that up I'll believe in the supposed mass exodus.
