“New” bloke writing at the SMH has an interesting topic tonight regarding suspected match fixing by wallabies. The game that kind of matches his hints had a this as part of its match review on GAGR: “I struggle to think of an occasion when I’ve seen a side with so much possession and so many...

found it. The Australian - Wednesday Feb 20. "Also under discussion at RA boardroom and Fox Sports levels is the NRC competition and whether it will be persevered with or whether RA should, after a slightly abridged Shute Shield and Hospitals Cup premierships, swap over to an Australian club...

unfortunately my office has thrown out the papers from earlier in the week. it would have been in the Courier or Australian as i cant get past their paywalls so i read the hard copy.

anyone spot the recent comment on the back of the 'GPS on Fox' idea that RA and Fox are talking about scrapping the NRC? suggested replacement would involve a truncated Shute/Hosp Cup followed by an Aust Club Champs made up of top 5 from both Shute and Hosp, and premiers from some other...

as an extra comment to this. the Courier Mail in Bris (so another News Corp company the same as Fox and Kayo) has been going super hard at the GPS crowd over the past 18 months. Jim Tucker is pumping out heaps of paywalled content all relating to GPS Rugby. and since school has started they...

also in the articles it alluded to the NRC being wound up. With a proposal to shorten Shute and Hospital Cup - and taking top 5 from each plus premiers from other states (didnt say how many or which) states in an Australian Club Champs - also televised by Fox. Now if the grassroot supporters...

That Sam Phillips tweet was waaaay off the mark!

Sam Phillips on Twitter: Hearing there will be some big surprises in the Reds 23 tomorrow at 10, 12 and 15... One 2018 regular tipped to be left out of the 23 altogether... #HIGvRED

Not sure if this belongs here but Growdens Ruck n Maul column is back in the SMH...

is that the latest telstra box or the older model? I'm about to sign up using the latest model

I reckon it’ll be via Reds TV on YouTube wouldn’t it?

other good thing about those Kayo numbers is that they haven't cannibalised the premium foxtel subs. so hopefully these are new people to the pay for sport pool... and hopefully some of them are rugby people! this current quarter is typically the biggest for new subs, as the major footy...

SA pulled 55000 to a double header Super Rugby trials with a "Marvel" theme over the weekend.

So Kerevi taking off after this year eh??? I truly despair of rugby these day - the admins and the players - it’s exasperating I watch it despite everything telling me to walk away, to leave it to its incompetence and money grabbing. Short rant over.

Saw in one article today that this concept wont run in RWC or BIL's years. so effectively its a biennial tournament.

any idea if the trial matches will be live streamed on Rugby tV?

I reckon this is Rugby’s last roll of the dice with regards to pay tv. RA desperately need Kayo to have a big break through and get total Fox Sports penetration from 30% of households upwards of 50%. I just can’t see FTA paying for Super Rugby - so the other way to get exposure is if your...

Kayo is 100% owned by Foxtel. It’s Foxtels admission that they cannot increase market penetration using the traditional Foxtel package of set top box, with base package + sports package combo and pricing

yes. by adding women's and sevens it opens avenues to funding dollars - and in this way it helps make Ballymore sustainable - this is how it meets the needs of the Reds.
