Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

Any word on where the Super Round of Trans Tasman will be held? I'm hoping for Suncorp

My understanding is that it was most likely to be held in Auckland

Not at all. The RA Rebels have always had the lowest ratings. These metrics were heavily covered when the Force was cut.

I also wonder if here is a social media aspect to this as well. In the past the we put up with the NSFW groupies on Social media and they put people off the game with the incessant whinging and attacking of the establishment. But lately there as some very prominent Reds supporters that are at their arrogant, loudmouth and obnoxious best that could put people off.

I have muted a fair few lately!

It may shock you but a few posters from other franchises fit the bill too. I don't mute anyone though, but there are few whose posts I gloss over. As for me, I try to stay humble but it hard when our guys are so awesome!
I thought a few Queenslanders might tune in to boost the numbers though.

Will be entirely based on what decision the governments announce about a Trans Tasman travel bubble.

I think the NZ govt some time ago made an announcement that they'd, ah, … make an announcement … tomorrow.

Yep. Not just the Reds though, but yep.

With 10 club games and a Top League game set to kick off at 3 will Stan crash?

 

[Adam84]

I’m confused as to where all the commentators are coming from, Stan have said all club games will be commentated

You act as if GIO can draw more than 10 people to watch the Brumbies maul their way to victory at the moment. They can't.

They got a sellout against the Reds... covid restrictions in place... and you think the Brumbies are just a maul team, your totally wrong. We score tries through the backs all the time.. Just because other teams suck at the maul its not what we just do. Take a look at the Tah's game.. there were 3 none Maul tries, and Wright nearly scored a double with an awesome grubber.

Why is it that a team that has scored a bunch of tries playing great attacking rugby, is called just a maul team.. its a myth..

Because that was the case for several seasons and now that the reputation exists it is going to be hard to shake.

But it wasn't really the case last year either.... But we will just keep playing attacking rugby with a amazing maul and people will come.. as I said the Brumbies / Reds game was a sellout of what they could do ..

Your guess is as good as mine. They need to spread the games out more for mine

 

[Pfitzy]

Valid points on club rugby being amateur so can’t make radical change but change around the edges where compromise and say have a side playing one Friday night game a season where the bartender or whatever may need to miss that game. It just means yes careful consideration required but equally some compromise from cost benefit maybe necessary if to move forward.

Need a 3 year plan to revamp Premier Clubs into a viable broadcast product. They can't keep on, trying to pretend they're "grassroots" when there is already money there and they want more.

Can't keep going with 4+ Grades and 3+ Colts. That is unsustainable.

Yeah look at the NRL never have two games head to head so they don’t split their viewership and we have 10 games at once

super round canned

Rubbish BH, it's the myopic view of teams by fans of others that is the problem. As a Tahs fan, you should be well aware of that over the years.

Australian rugby as a whole is full of myths that are trotted out as truths every day.

Are you arguing that the Brumbies didn't score a lot of maul tries over several years?

Are you arguing that they didn't get that reputation? Whether or not the reputation is deserved or not doesn't really matter. It exists.

I'm not suggesting that the Brumbies deserve that reputation in 2021. I've saying that they gained that reputation and it is going to take a long time to shake.

The level of truth behind it now is irrelevant.
