Really not sure how effective this protest will be, can’t say that not seeing an nrl logo on the jersey while watching an nrl game is going to affect me as a viewer like the player interviews are supposed to.
I feel like if they want it to be effective they need to be covering sponsor logos, or something else that somebody’s actually going to care about.
I think it’s more about bringing attention to the issue — I had noticed it but had no idea what was going on until you mentioned it.
so if it encourages conversation then that’s a good thing.
Do we even know what the RLPAs issues are with the bargaining agreement yet?
Nothing concrete that I’ve seen…
Just tied up with vested interests in broadcast rights and betting agency kickbacks no doubt…
The media make out like fans do nothing but worry about it… it’s nice just to have some respite from the DV charges cycling through the news for a little while
I’m not gonna lie - I’m enjoying the no player interviews. I’ve had enough “it’s a game of two halves”, “we just kept turning up for each other”, and “we gave it 110%” in amongst all the umm’s and ahh’s for a lifetime. Less pointless player interviews and more actual footy analysis is a win in my books.
I also just noticed that all of the reporting on this is wrong - they’re not covering the NRL logo at all, they’re covering the Telstra Premiership logo. Current jerseys don’t actually have the NRL logo on them.
