NZ rugby people are waking up to what we've known for quite sometime. Super Rugby decreases fan numbers and support due to its one sided outcomes and predictability. They see cutting Oz teams as the easy answer to their problems, whilst never talking about their own elephant in the room, the...

agreed. QLD needs to be making a significant contribution yet our players are seeming to fall short at the moment

Also - be nice to get some of that new Canterbury gear available before Xmas. Edit: I just added my email address to the notification at the Reds shop for when new gear is available

I know it’s a long shot but any news on whether the games are being televised/streamed?

REALLY hoping we get to see these two side by side and injury free. I like the look of both of them. Has Henry got the build to play as a hard running 12? He looks compact and strong enough.

and Heenan also hinted at yesterday on the tweets.

would mean that NH have effectively the 3 test windows running through their club seasons. SH (previously July now Oct) NH spring (Nov) and 6 Nations (Feb March). be interesting to see if they were happy with that.

Rennie needs to think harder. That was dumb dumb rugby. A test class defence will gobble that up all day long. might need to have a rethink about him. euro teams are a long way ahead in the smarts department at the moment

Time to dust off this yet? If so it was a short era!!

Well this thread has taken an unfortunate direction… any rumours of new signings or are we solely relying on the under 20s and new kids like Flook Henry Creighton etc

Charlie Gamble has about 12 mths left until he is eligible for wallabies. I reckon he has more of the style Rennie likes than Mcreight. I wouldn’t bank on McReight being a given as next in line. and I’m not being pessimistic - just realistic

Gotta say that todays test team announcement really is damning of Thorn’s coaching - and makes it very hard to recruit for 2023 and beyond. Rennie has made it clear we aren’t producing wallabies.

That was the marquee event for Australian domestic rugby. It shouldn’t be like this.

Super Rugby AU final 2021 - FTA tv ratings 464,000 SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) final 2022 - FTA tv ratings 78,000

yeah assuming the reds seem to be the biggest viewership - you'd think the reds v tahs and reds v ponies games would hit the top 20. but the week of the reds v tahs, the 20th spot had roughly 100k viewers. that probably kept those games out. i'm assuming qlders are tight arses and thats why...

correct. just FTA. the ratings agency does produce a top 20 for subscription tv, but i believe Stan doesn't share its data. its basically a list of the top 20 foxtel programs - fox is the only subscription service that supplies data as far as I know.

you inspired me to look harder. found - rd1 reds v rebels 74000 rd 4 - reds v drua 91000
