Sorry, we will get back to you once our comment review specialist has advised of a suitable response then our stakeholder management team will respond to you via our community engagement advisor. :p

I personally think that Thorn has done a fantastic job building and laying a foundation for the future. He also now has a team that is showing that they are close to being quite successful. He has about 90% of what is needed. But I think the last 10% that will make the difference and get the...

He always travelled with the Sharks so I am not surprised Bosch is missing the coaching and support. On a side note Van Straaten is lovely guy and the Sharks players really looked up to him. We stopped on the way out of a Brumbies game one night as the Sharks were boarding their bus. As we...

Hypothetically, I say they may, but it will be with Hewat at the helm and Sampson the succession plan (not my prefered option!)

RH, do you think this is a new trend as sports are now seeing the risks that streaming services have now introduced in that it can split broadcasting a sport across several providers so you may have "a sport product" carved up and broadcast by several means which managed poorly could lock out...

It is understood V’landys (the horse racing guy) and NRL commercial manager Andrew Abdo travelled to San Francisco and Los Angeles, where they met executives from streaming giants Amazon Prime, Facebook and Google. Now this one interesting and the timing is really curious noting their current deal goes to 2023. Is...

Hmm? At 2 points for each remaining game I might put a quick $50 on them to finish above the Tahs. :D

Thanks RH. Its the strategies and ideas that appeals to me as well as the different approach to broadcasting. I think there are some parts of this that are translatable and done right could place RA at the forefront of in house produced sports broadcasting in Australia. Could RA build a digital...

Comments were specifically about his NRL eligibility and stating he should be allowed to play again in the NRL at the end of his contract (or even now). They were not related to the game he just played. Question was asked by SMH jurno. Don't think Catalans supporters read the SMH or really care...

But in neither affidavit it says that. Saying with conviction that they were gagged by RA via the code of conduct they agreed to perhaps? I would suggest that RA (and Tahs) had requested no one make comments in relation to an ongoing workplace related matter; specifically the Folau matter. It...

Happy for them to throw the stones and let the NRL deal with this: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-16/israel-folau-makes-catalans-dragons-debut-in-france/1196856 The Super League signing veto rules were voted in earlier this month. Interesting that after one game his current coach is...

I have been following this one for a few years and it's an interesting story when it comes to TV deal options and making it work. Although its from the US, like Rugby the sport is considered a niche sport, was on the decline (ratings / attendance) and their choice when it came time to renew...

Compete? Lighting an issue? You may wish to read the article at the below link. I doubt clubs games would even cover the cost of the getting the camera out to the games. Last season [Shute Shield] attracted an average audience of 13,000 people on the free-to-air network's digital channel...

Without sounding like a smartass, the fact that he was out there. From schoolboys to Super Rugby in 3 rounds must show the coaching staff can see something in him. 8 mins is not enough to make a judgments etherway. It's good they are giving him a shot, but I am not sure he is ready. Personally, I...

Other professional sports like AFL have an average player age of 2 years younger than what we have in Rugby. The Kiwi have a higher standard provincial competition to develop players so they coming in ready to go at that age. We need them younger as we to develop then. We are delaying the...

I can't help but wonder if this clever way to put a control mechanism in play for RA and their next broadcaster? Consider that as per the Pulverism of pissing money up against the wall, RA has "... secured the rights to the Shute Shield, a good thing given the financially unsustainable nature...

History teaches us not to judge prematurely: A quarter-century before boldly leading Britain in World War II, Winston Churchill spearheaded a World War I military debacle—Gallipoli.

Rugby could always take daring and radical and untried approach to a national competition that is never done before - stop competing against itself. As WCR suggested, could be worth doing it properly and finding out. Potentially what we think are are strengths could actually be what's holding...

The reality is it is an entertainment product. if its boring or does not appeal it won't be watched. Its like movies; a good story does not means good box office returns. But spectacular rubbish can make a fortune if it appeals. The other interesting part of this story that came via the CBR...
