    @Tim said in NPC 2022:

    which will be all about short term financial return from the ABs

    well that aint gonna go to well if the team in the shop window aint looking good...thing is, NPC might be a small part of the puzzle, but it is an important part of the puzzle that builds the ABs

    you're right...although i would argue NPC is or should be a bigger part of the puzzle than lots seem to think

    Currently...or i guess previously...we may have had something flash and impressive in the shop window...but once they caught someones attention and they came inside looking for something to personally to connect with...a local team....we are a opshop with little people will want

    wringing every drop of out this analogy...its currently like an apple store with a huge flash billboard our front showing their latest $2k iphone...and you go in and theyre out of stock

    relating back to my experience in melbourne, i see all the hype around the AFL...i watch game at the pub but havent been to any games live....what i have done is go to my local VFL ground to watch...and i get there and there is loads of merch, there are the junior kids still in the kits running balls around, there are old mates all meeting up for a yarn and a beer....and i know it superficial but when you go to get a beer....and there is a $5 stubbie holder you go why not...and you're hooked...next game you grab the comemrative scraf theyre selling...or a cap because is sunnie..and it just becomes your team

    Not sure if it’s been posted, but for West Island Ferners, they are showing NPC 2022 on Stan.

    @KiwiMurph If he played for the Blues as well, then yes. Highlanders, Hurricanes and Moana Pasifika.

    Apisai played for the Chiefs in a pre-season game, as he was in the WTG.

    Is any website showing live stats of the NPC? ESPN doesn’t cover the NPC

    I know the official site does but the format sucks (you have to click on each players name so you can’t scan easily)

    @Duluth No, only Rugbypass, but you know how terrible they are.

    @Duluth I've tried archiving those pages of the official site, and the stats don't get archived, only the text. Each time you open the page, whether the original version or archived version, it has to download those stats from Opta.

    So as soon as that link between the official pages and Opta is broken (for example, if they decide to go for another stats provider), you'll lose all the stats.

    Where are the stats on the NPC site? I can potentially see if I can collect them and display them in a more user-friendly way

    @bobily2 On the pages with the team lists:

    Bunnings NPC Round One: Team Lists

    Bunnings NPC Round One: Team Lists

    Provincial rivalries will ignite when round one of the Bunnings NPC kicks off on Friday 6 August.

    It would be awesome if you were able to do that!

    You go to these team list articles each week https://www.provincial.rugby/news/bunnings-npc-round-one-team-lists/
    If you click on a player you get a range of Opta stats from the game for each

    It's looking a little tricky at first glance, but I think I should be able to pull something together. Watch this space

    Was trying to find points scorers for the weekend. Took me a while. Herald does not bother doing that any more. Espn no longer does either. But eventually found that yesterday in same place as the team lists.
    Wonder if this is a strategy to drive people to a single online source of information for everything. I hope not.

    @ARHS my dumb self was surprised when I saw Hawkes Bay & Waikato had 3 points for their draw but then I realised the extra point is the bonus 4 tries🙂

    I think the Turbos have overtaken Waikato for the worst team at keeping their fans updated

    The Turbos site latest news is about the preseason and the upcoming match is apparently vs Canterbury. Links to social media from their site are broken - facebook, twitter & instagram

    It seems that someone decided that keeping the Turbos social media accounts was sexist and they deleted them all and created 'Turbos and Cyclones' accounts. So thats why all the links are broken. When you do account switches like that you will lose a percentage of your followers

    Do teams want fans to follow the games and maybe be engaged enough to buy a ticket?

    @Duluth Ironically, the reporters from the Manawatū Standard seem to do a good job of covering their games, unlike most other regional journos. I found the Manawatū team that played Waikato in the pre-season game in one such article.
