@Stargazer said in Super Rugby 2023:
The NZPA and it's Aussie counterpart might not agree with a competition without byes.
I also think getting rid of byes would create an unfair disadvantage to teams that are already stretched due to injuries, or teams with little depth.
I really don't see the problem with byes. How many of the people "complaining" about byes watch every single game each weekend?
I'm gonna take a stab at "most" for one hundred thanks Alex.

I pick and choose which games I watch each round, and only saw the Sat games over Easter. This weekend will only be the Hurricanes-Chiefs game.
I will make watching a Chiefs match a date if at all possible but other games are out of convenience. The less opportunities for that convenience to occur the less I watch. Surely the mark of a good comp is when fans watch games other than their team?
Also, for those of us that pay Sky, when you have a gap without watching anything on their vehicle it does make you question your interest in paying them. -

why would i need to watch every game every week? i watch my team every week so its quite noticeable when there isn't a game, are you saying i should watch another team and thats pretty much the same thing/.

@Kiwiwomble That's not what I said or meant, but I can't be bothered explaining my comment. We don't have to agree.

@Stargazer ....its hard to agree when we don't know what you mean

Back in Super 12 days, I used to watch every game (except some weird SA hours). Massively high quality, great rugby

@nzzp I still do, most weekends. I never skip a game when a NZ team is playing. Because I enjoy it and it's the only way to form an opinion about most NZ players if you watch all teams play more than one game. If you only watch your own team play, you're hardly able to comment on another team's players, because you've only seen them play once (4 teams twice), and it's practically impossible to keep an eye on all 30 players on the field at the same time.

@mariner4life That's the thing about a forum like this. You don't know everyone, what they do and why.

And what's wrong with that Kiwi?? Lol,
Mrs does suggest I watch a bit much, but I watch on any Saturday a college game, at least 1 but often 2 club games, and then a couple on tv.
I like Star watch all Kiwi teams' games, and usually any I think will be decent from Aus. Will also sometimes catch a Heinekin Cup/Challenge cup form NH, though usually on replay.
Will add I don't work anymore, but watched almost as much when I did work. -
lol fuck this comp is idiotic
if my app is correct, the Qld Reds are playing at 2pm Friday afternoon Qld time.
It's lucky there are no fans to be pissed off by this

It's in Samoa so should be a decent crowd. But yes idiotic timing.
