    I doubt many NPC sides would spend much money (from the little they have) on promotion other than digital. All their promotion will mostly be online and I've seen a fair amount in amongst the Olympics and ABs. I guess it's all about what channels you follow etc.

        ive talked about this before but im surprised they dont endorse more volunteers, Dunedin for example would surely have some aspiring podcasters/social media persons, a bit of quid pro quo, we give you some access and you get as much experience as you like

          @Duluth rightfully or wrongfully I guess media platforms probably don't see the NPC as a priority atm.

            Yes that is what I am commenting on

            It's not just the Olympics either. Coverage was shit in 2023 too.. which was a little shitter than coverage 2022

            It's just another indicator of how much of a death spiral this competition is on

                @Duluth yeah unfortunately this comp might not exist in 5-10 years the way it's going. It's just a money pit and something needs to change but I ain't getting into that right now.

                  A few years ago they did a gimmicky launch. Doesn't occur anymore. Have read a substantial preview in the Rugby News. Also seen them in ODT and Stuff. Paul Cully has stated on X that the Saturday teams will all be available at 2 PM.

                    I think I follow a few teams on SM, but only really pay attention to Northland, where they do a bit in terms of jersey sponsor namings, the odd training clip and then trial and squad stuff for the junior, womens and mens teams, but very little of this is put on thier website (at least not for some time) for those who stay away from SM.

                    However, like most, they could do better, much better.

                      There is a full page preview from Aaron Goile (Stuff) today. Maybe it's not on their digital platform yet.

                      Wellington are the TAB favourites ($3.50) followed by Auckland and Canterbury ($4 each).

                          Was meant to reply to a discussion I was having with a poster the other day in this thread and forgot. I have a mate who works for one of the big radio stations as a producer (music not sport), up until last year they would receive media packs in the lead up to the NPC but they don't receive them anymore.

                            No one can report on it cos normal media channels are falling apart, the NPC is no way going to make them enough clicks etc to be worth spending time on.
