By far my post with the highest number of impressions. If I was writing it today I would substitute Rugby with the words "All Professional Sport is Owned by the Fans" No fans = No Professional Sport. The Importance of Fans in Professional Sport · Fans drive the financial success of sports through ticket sales, merchandise purchases, hospitality, support of sponsors and broadcast rights. Their support is the major contributor to the economic viability of teams and leagues. · Fans create an electrifying atmosphere in stadiums and arenas, enhancing the overall experience for both players and viewers. The energy and passion they bring can inspire athletes to perform at their best. · Fans develop strong emotional connections to their favorite teams and players, leading to long-term loyalty. This loyalty translates into continued support, whether through attendance, merchandise sales, or media consumption. · The presence of a passionate fan base attracts media coverage, which helps to promote the sport and increase its visibility. This, in turn, attracts sponsors and advertisers, further boosting revenue streams. · Sports fandom fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie among supporters, creating a community around the team or sport. This shared identity strengthens social bonds and provides a platform for interaction and engagement. · Knowing they have the support of fans can motivate athletes to push themselves harder and strive for success. · Sports have a significant cultural influence, shaping societal values and norms. Fans contribute to this cultural impact by celebrating achievements, fostering traditions, and passing on their passion for the sport to future generations. Overall, fans are integral to the success of sports, providing not only financial support but also creating an atmosphere of excitement and belonging that enhances the experience for everyone involved.

If Rugby wants to avoid empty stadiums in the future Adminstrators would do well to remember this truth.

World Rugby I recommend one minor addition to the rules of T1. Defenders need to be punished for 3 defenders not reaching the breakdown. This is a key aspect of wearing down an opposition. I propose that if 3 defenders are not in contact at the breakdown then the halfback can run/score and the 1-2 defenders at the breakdown are out of play - ie. cannot effect a touch. However if 3.defenders reach the breakdown then all three can 'break' and immediately effect a touch. Without incentive to reach the breakdown, defenders will fan across the field and it will become rugby league touch. https://lnkd.in/guDTAFjz

High Performance Rugby League Coach, specialist defence systems and tackling skill acquisition. Leadership strategists for organisational change and sustained success.
If you build it, they will come. More and more players will come up to standard of NRL as they get more exposure to it. There are less quality NRL players at the moment due to limited opportunities. Quality will dip for a short period 3-5 years but it will slowly grow back up along with population increases as well. If your serious about long term fundamental change and adaptation 3-5 years is a short amount of time. South Island of NZ is a must, another in Brisbane and Perth.
