NZR review

Robinson said the overall operating result was heavily impacted by a truncated Rugby Championship, the lack of the mid-year home series, Māori All Blacks or All Blacks XV matches, and just two domestic tests.
The result was a 39% decrease in match-day income from $28m to $17m. Broadcast income also decreased by $16m due to the impact of the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
damn, that seems like a lot, all would have been forecast and not hosting those games but have saved money but i guess your still paying salaries etc

From a paywalled NZH article
With their governance change proposal in danger of falling at the first hurdle, the provincial unions will use New Zealand Rugby’s annual general meeting to force through constitutional change to enable them to handpick individuals to represent major stakeholders who are actively boycotting the proposed new structure. If the resolution proposed by North Harbour is passed at next Friday’s AGM, it will mean that New Zealand Māori Rugby Board (NZMRB), New Zealand Rugby Players’ Association (NZRPA) and the Super Rugby Clubs (SRC) will have people they don’t support or endorse represent them in a governance system they don’t want to be part of.
What the unions are effectively doing is circumnavigating their own proposal by rewriting it in such a way that they will control every step of the governance process and never need any buy-in from any other stakeholder to retain their dominant position.
Under the same resolution, the constitution will be changed to lower the number of people who need to serve on the proposed Governance Advisory Panel (GAP) for it to be recognised as a quorum – a belt and braces move to ensure that even if the unions can’t coerce pseudo representatives of the NZMRB, NZRPA and SRC to serve on the GAP, it will still be recognised as a constitutionally viable entity.

and there it is
There will never be meaningful change when the very people it will affect the most are in control of it. The Status Quo will live on.

What a surprise, no wonder the RPA wanted no part of option 2. As pointed out in this thread, it is very possible for the provinces to hijack. And they appear to be going to do so, preemptively, before the option is even in place. What a mess, and rugby will continue is downward spiral in NZ

Quite obvious that the professional arm needs to strike out and follow through on their "threat". The modern game shouldn't be hamstrung by amateurism.

But what can you do when you are dealing with children like this
individuals to represent major stakeholders who are actively boycotting the proposed new structure.

The professionals want to take over the professional part of the game?

I read the article looking for some major new injustice by the Provincial Unions only to find that those who didn’t get everything their own way ( only 95% ) are holding out for the other 5%. An article about the bleaters still bleating.
