Interesting Twitter thread from the CEO of Crusaders
@KiwiMurph SRP was never going to be bad for NZ audiences. Shame about the other half I guess. Convenient he's left that part to other experts who, presumably, have more nuance.

@Derpus I actually am reasonably surprised that viewer numbers are doing so well, I haven't seen any rating numbers from here or Aus, and not even sure where to look. If they are not great in Aus are they down all over, or still getting good numbers in ACT etc where team is doing well?

There's a concerted media attack on the viability of Super Rugby in NZ, so of course this tweet is going to focus on NZ. It doesn't mean anyone is pretending Oz doesn't exist.
You're just looking for something to be annoyed about.

It's a good product. Aussie teams are definitely improving, I've watched Oz v Oz games for the first time in years.
More interestingly, there are different styles in play evolving. Everyone is not playing the same anymore.

@Kirwan Funnily enough probably least number of Oz derbies I have watched this year, usually watch them all but have tended to mainly just watch the main ones with Brumbies/Tahs/Rebels . More old age than anything, as after a day of club rugby and watching NZ games I find it a little tougher staying up for games tat finish around not far short of midnight.

Not so sure having played every minute of SRP is good player management, unless all the other options in the squad have been injured.

if he's still performing and uninjured, NH teams tend to have much longer seasons

@Kiwiwomble NH teams are bigger and rotate a lot.

Rumours about midfielders mostly. Nothing confirmed
- LF to France
- Aumua to Blues/Crusaders/France
- Goodhue maybe to the Blues
- JRK has interest from Blues/Crusaders/Highlanders

not surprising Crusaders looking into Levi, need more power in their backline, the current midfield has the physicality of a wet towel.
