    I mean I appreciate that link is effectively an ad for the company, but it specifically calls out that Easts saw a reduction in injury among it's playing group and that the technology (using cork) means it's significantly cooler to the point it doesn't need irrigation to cool it down.

    I think you have a valid point re what's it actually going to do. I did some quick desktop research to try and see what effects bans in other countries had, had on their levels of gambling spend. In Italy there was a ban introduced in 2019 and it's had almost no impact on gambling spend which I...

    My guess is yes, they will fill that space with other advertisers and advertisers will likely find the money to fund the increase media spend The data supports this also (note this probably includes gambling advertising but I'd wager that the graphs look similar even if gambling media spend was...

    I suppose it depends on if by sports rights you're talking code level partnerships with the NRL/AFL or broadcast sponsorships with the networks airing the games. All of the research and data still suggests that these partnerships deliver good ROI both to the bottom line and to brand, also sports...

    For sure, but it's not a good enough argument against not banning it They too will survive and the country will be better for it

    FTA will die with or without Gambling Ads on TV, but in the meantime - there are still farken HEAPS of advertisers who still love FTA (it is still the best way to reach AND engage lots of people with high impact creative) and will jump at the opportunity to take their primetime spots in live...

    Drainage and new grass won’t change the fact its shaded by its massive trees and both fields used heavily at least 5 days a week. You could replace the turf every year and still end up in the same mud pit every July/ August

    Hopefully not. While sad that the girls couldn't get it done on the day - it doesn't diminish their incredible season and years of sustained success and growth. Men's team also over performed based on expectation. Would like to think that decision makers would look at the whole picture of what...

    Refereeing decisions

    Logically I'd say no. The ball was passed between players who formed the lineout and were still in their positions at the lineout. For the ball to have left the lineout based on the current wording I'd say it would: a) have to go beyond the 5m/15m lines b) be passed/kicked to someone not in the...

    Refereeing decisions

    If you're man for man, a stronger team - it's almost un-defendable unless you can get a sack.

    Refereeing decisions

    The rationale behind outlawing it in the first place was it was unsafe for 1 defender try and tackle a 3 person wide pod (where do they put their heads?) BUT not applied at the Lineout-Maul as the force that could generated in the 1m gap between teams + the proximity of a (usually) equal number...

    Lots of people getting about with an Apple TV (guilty) or google/ amazon equivalent. This was just Foxtels way of getting in the game.

    Yeah this is shit house. With no live events we're gonna have a 3 hour preview show to satisfy audience guarantees to advertisers that bought TARPs in "olympic programming"... Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of people will miss out on accidently watching the wallabies put 40+ on the boks.
