yes thats right, extended current deal. A good world cup performance would have drove discussion for 2026 on.

'Bloody disappointed: Wallabies OUT of World Cup as nation to miss finals for first time, Eddie fights for survival

years gone by many many fans watched both codes. But ol Hamish and Eddie with ” horse guy” comments hurt that. Took the elitism road again, which leads away from casual fans.

'Complete dismantling': Eddie apologises for World Cup debacle, Hoops calls out moment that summed it up

Supply and demand. Locally there will be very little demand. Unfortunately a renewal of current deal could be the best offer.

Waugh is a Hamish lackey.
RA will spin the line” we need to stick solid and work together”

How many times can a sport hit rock bottom jn one year before bottom is the norm.

'Clown show', 'such a flog', 'poor form': How Aus rugby reacted to report that Eddie had Japan job interview before RWC

Last few months Big Hamish and Eddie have been throwing barbs at the NRL .

Id say the ” horse guy” is having a chuckle.

If RA want publicity, focus on winning footy games.

Dropping out at the pool stage will make any increase in local broadcast rights extremely difficult to achieve, particularly with funding for for grassroots required to enable RA to remain competitive with other codes.

how do you deserve to make finals when you lose more games than you win

Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinals draw and kick off times CONFIRMED: Who qualified, where and when are the games

5 wins for a season and that makes the playoffs, ridiculous

History as Drua smash Reds to seal maiden finals berth but Thorn's side scrape through as Force lose

you have a season of only 5 wins and you make the finals. Hardly super.

Same here, switched Reds for Titans and fan engagement is significantly better.
Variety of game times thru the year as well.

How will Super Rugby Pacific be run in 2024 and why do we still know nothing about it?

The comp is on its knees and has smell of death.
Rugby Aus/NZ will be a feeder system for Europe.

Fan engagement is never a consideration with Rugby.

Still an air of entitlement about its management.

The Hammer is using the AFl/NRL playbook.
Not going to work.

RA chief's radical draft plan to revive Super Rugby, including Wallabies free to play for NZ clubs

Crowd numbers at Super Rugby are poor.

i think the opposite, you must find a timeslot that doesn’t clash with AFL and NRL, otherwise Media aint going to pay if you go up against the other

Would an Anzac Day, winner-take-all Bledisloe Cup match work?

No they will just sell to a PE who will rip the soul out.

In NZ or maybe Brisbane. Syd and Melb have events for the day.
Your not going to get any government support in Aus. Only chance would be QLD gov and why would they pay for something that really cant be held anywhere else in Aus.

Rugby need to be careful that if they do put a game on its not going to be second rate event as they have done with their Magic round and Indigenous round.

Good point about PE.
If they buy in then 8mil is going to be way short of the annual returns PE want.
You let PE in the door and its a different and dangerous game.
Wallabies will become like Socceroos as that is the money maker.
Remember you can only sell your house once!

'Not out of the woods': RA promise financial sins of the past won't be repeated despite NRL fixation

You have got to be kidding. 12 teams no chance. Sell to USA that’s ridiculous

'Not out of the woods': RA promise financial sins of the past won't be repeated despite NRL fixation

I enjoy both codes. NRL for its competitive nature and rugby because I grew up playing it.
While rugby dominates in NZ still, that is weakning each year as more and more kids get NRL scholarships in NZ and in AUS.
I think the article underplays that out of 500 odd NRL players probaly 80 would be an option for Rugby and guessing less than a third of that would be interested in playing rugby here or OS.
While every code champions they have the better athletes i think there is a gap AFL/NRL to rugby.
Rugby is fixated on NRL being the enemy when in facts its AFL that have got their claws in the private schools in QLD and NSW, league has survived 100 years without private school as a feeder system. So while Rugby play this cat and mouse game with League AFL are going to steal their pathway.

NRL lucky overseas rugby doesn’t raid ranks more often - marquee system a better bet than latest hare-brained idea
