IMO there are a few journalists that continue to dig up dirt and gossip wherever they can. Always spreading negativity. I am not saying the rumours are incorrect but I question their agenda.

I agree, I remember watching him play for Randwick and he was great, he didn't hit his best form until years later. We already have Beale who IMO is way past it. I would rather have one of those speedy Drua wingers

He doesn't seem like the modern hooker we need, he is solid without being great. I am not saying he is not capable but you need super mobile hookers with ball-playing skills, the guy with long hair for the brumbies is a great example

Yep. I’ll be out of the woods by Sunday but I’m missed the boat as I was hoping to head down the re this weekend and combine the holiday with super round. Oh well. Next time.

Thank you, I feel better today. Hoping for a good turnout! Cheering for all Aussie teams!!!

I was going to go but have Covid, the Friday schedule looks the weakest I think. I think they can get a crowd for Saturday and Sunday

It is a hard metric to measure though because club rugby is generally a more approachable product for fans to attend, so the live views on Stan may not actually be reflective of the fan base. I'm yet to see a decent crowd for Club Rugby, I can only speak for myself but Club Rugby is just park...

I agree, Banks has had his opportunities at Test level, yet to deliver. I think RA got lucky here, on one hand, they cannot compete with those $$$, and on the other, they "offer" him a deal he will not take and the cash goes to other players. Banks should take the money and run 100%

I see, yep. Good turnout. But in saying this, I think there a quite a few games in Europe that have crowds of 8 - 10 -14K (I could be wrong, just looking at the stadium capacity and the crowds) It is easy to pick on our teams for not bringing the numbers at the moment.

Hi All, Lot's of discussion around crowds, just to put things into perpecetive Leinster captain Sexton kicked the other eight points, but Carty’s second penalty just before the interval pleased most of 8,129 sell-out crowd.

Ok guys, we know tomorrow's game is not going to rate OR have a big crowd but let's all do our bit and watch it, and spread the word. Tonight, tipping the Rebels and Moana

You have a point, yet it is very likely that you will get even less at a suburban ground, quoting my mate here "I'm not going to a s..... ground to watch the Tahs lose" I guess we all have our opinions but the game needs to aim high

You have to think about sponsors, broadcast partners, etc. I reckon the Reds are right at home at Suncorp, AND with a little luck going their way they can crack the 20k. We need to stop thinking small and view our age as a smaller "venue/suburban" ground game. the WC 2027 and Lions tour is...

I see your point but the main problem is how are teams meant to survive in a 6 team comp? I would say that teams need at least 10 home games to survive/make a profit I know that no Super Rugby franchise is setting the world on fire attendance-wise but TT is the way to go. Hopefully next year it will be...

I'll try and get some more figures for the last couple of weeks. Super Round will be the dealbreaker if we are going to get "casual" fans back on board, there will be a few people waiting to say "Told you we could beat the Kiwis" Our teams need to come out firing and throw everything at them

Yep, I was going to ask Steve about the other games, but I'll pick and choose when to ask ha ha. Don't want annoy him

Media Week used to report the figures for all sports, now they only fo NRL and AFL

From TV Black Box. Stev is the Guru for all things ratings :) And yes I agree Stan is growing

Hi Guys, I had a feeling GEM figures were not being reported, I went straight to the source Jamie 3 April 2022 At 1:38 pm Do you know what ratings for the Super rugby Game? QLD Reds Reply Steve Molk 3 April 2022 At 3:23 pm Hi Jamie – 103,000 nationally; 69,000 5CM for the Reds/Brumbies game.

Bummed about the defeat but really pleased at the same time, I honestly thought we were going to get flogged. I am under no illusions about this year but hats off to DC, he is building a foundation to challenge for the title in a year or two. Hats off also to Edmed, good game, ditto Roberts...
