Well, Rupert for a start....

More than he has?
Was the Buildcorp money pure profit?

According to the Vikings (as posted above)..........

While the sponsorship figure has been reported to be worth as much $1million, it is understood the actual amount is around a fifth of that and closer to $200,000.

Canberra Vikings chairman John McGrath said he was made aware of the situation three weeks ago and conceded the club could foot the bill.

"The Buildcorp money goes into administration whereas the broadcast money pays for flights and accommodation, so it's not as dramatic as we first thought and we don't anticipate much change," McGrath said.

I probably should post this in the unpopular opinions thread but the surge in interest in females playing historically male sports is based on novelty.
There, I said it. No doubt eternal damnation will be my reward.

Cheap exclusive local content for FTA networks also. The rights are basically given away, so the only real cost is production.

I saw that, it seems odd he is commenting on that - my impression was that the ARU looked after the officials and accomodation from the money they got from Buildcorp but that quote suggests a direct link between Bc and the Vikings.
Can you enlighten me?

I can only go by what's been stated above......... that the Buildcorp money was less than what was originally reported, and it goes towards the ARU's admin costs.

Foxtel look after player payments, flights, accommodation etc.

McGrath is merely saying that the Vikings, and the other teams, could be levied a fee to cover the difference.

Simple enough, circa 25k each.

Can someone remind me why the clubs in Sydney and Brisbane would want to continue with this?
More and more of the cost and risk is passed onto them to permit the ARU to identify the cannon fodder it needs to give the clubs no money from the money they generate from the cannon fodder.
It's surreal.

 

[I like to watch]

What else they gunna do with their money?
They'd just piss it up against a wall

clubs in Sydney and Brisbane

You mean clubs in Sydney, right.

There is no "piss stream" from Brisbane clubs involved.

It would seem the reddies come from the QRU, together with a law firm in Brisvegas and a private uni on the Goldy.

Do the brisvegas premier clubs receive money from the ARU?

Who signs the cheques going to Logan City and Yoku Road?

Clubs in Sydney (at least Manly, Warringah, Norths and Gordon) provided money to support the set up of the NRC (those four clubs for the Rays).

@$25,000 each IIRC. I think that this was only for the first 2 years.

Regardless of the exact quantum of the Buildcorp NRC sponsorship, the money that they have pulled will have to be replaced by some other funding.

I assumed they were treated the same as Sydney.
If so, the ARU no longer has the luxury of acting as if the clubs are the problem ~ they are the solution. What's more they are the solution for the other states because for good or ill the NSW and QLD clubs have shown resilience, engenuity and sustainability.............

 

[RugbyReg]

QPR Clubs don't get funding from the ARU.

Rhetorical questions at ten paces in all directions, Reg.

That's great. Tell us more about this solution.

Scrap NRC.
Put money into juniors and clubs.
Since we stopped doing that we have gone seriously backwards.

I disagree

We were going backwards before that happened........ and club rugby is not an adequate substitute for a third tier competition.

I disagree

As is your right, for now
