Just Browny Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 A bloke from work who I've only ever known talk about union and lives in Watford spontaneously told me how much he and his young lad are enjoying the RLWC. 7 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Guest Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Jamaican celebrations after scoring their first RLWC try. It was like they won the cup. And why not? They scored against former WC champions and the current No.1 world ranked team. Hope they continued celebrating after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambass Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 L'Equipe has a relatively good coverage of the french team. It's the 4th or 5th article they write about the World Cup. I don't remember we had *that many* for the previous World Cups. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masked Poster Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 A positive? The on field entertainment has been great and there are some genuinely refreshing sides out there playing the game. Yes, you Jamaica. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just fantastic, imagine not knowing the story and just seeing this, you'd think they'd just won the final or a bit game. But no it's just Jamaica celebrating scoring a last minute consolation try against the world's number 1 ranked team after conceding 68. This is what sport should always be about! 5 Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a brilliant moment and it made the evening. Loved how pumped up Michael Lawrence was when he walked back towards the North Stand revving the crowd up. 1 "I'm from a fishing family.

Hanover XIII Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Driving home from work yesterday listening to 5 Live and they kept going to Bolton for score updates. It was refreshing to hear a different voice sounding hugely enthusiastic about what she was seeing. No caveats, just excitement. If I was a casual sports follower I'd have wanted to know more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssexRL Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 PDRL and watching the Women's RL documentary really bought home to me, beyond the excitement of the game itself, why RL is great. The WC is a showcase for all that is good about the game (and it is on the BBC!) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomersall Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 7 hours ago, ShropshireBull said: Eggchasers podcast (rugby Union pod) spent about 15 mins in RL World Cup and suggested that Australia could be the best pure rugby team in World. Words used were Australia’s about opening defensive sets were “ There is absolutely nothing in Union I can compare it to”. Internationals get coverage and deep into wider sports coverage the rest of the game simply don’t. I just hope the powers that be can see what we’re seeing and hearing and don’t let the grass grow under their feet AGAIN! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTK Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 One good thing the NRL is doing in their coverage of the WC is posting the highlights of every game on their Youtube channel which has 242k subscribers. They obviously post the highlights of every NRL game so to get some comparison the viewing statistics for the NRL finals games are as follows: Average views - 170k Lowest views - 138k Highest - 222k (Grand Final Highlights) Keep in mind these highlights have all been up for at least a month now and closer to 2 months in the cases of the earlier weeks. Looking toward to WC highlights we're seeing some positive viewing numbers for the big teams: So far 6/15 highlights posted are over 100k views Both Kangaroos games are over 200k views (Fiji 202k) and Scotland (232k) has already exceeded the 2022 NRL Grand Final after just 3 days online I'm no expert on the Youtube algorithm but I understand it works understandably to push content to viewers that reflects other content of a similar nature that is getting views, as such the performance of these highlights will likely push all RL content up the algorithm so to speak and indeed the WC highlights should continue to get more exposure on Youtube the longer the tournament goes on. Overall this could be considered a fairly positive response so early on with the oldest WC highlights only being up on the channel for 9 days compared to the month or more the Grand Final/Finals series has been accumulating views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
