Does it really though? Most pre match pressers and interviews with the squad are deadly boring and run of the mill. We’ve been spoilt recently because of all the interest and storylines around Burrow. But generally most interviews are not interesting.
There’s no way I’d pay anything other than a pound or two per month for access to such things. And most likely I wouldn’t bother signing up to it.
It would actively reduce my interest and access to the club and its goings on.

You feel spoilt? Wowser. Thats some choice of word right there!!

McDermott's press conferences were interesting as he was always on the edge of melting down at moronic questions and usually came up with some interesting insights. But apart from that the yes it's hard to think of any players or coach interviews that you'd want to pay money for the right to see. But people will so the club should at least think about monetising it.

The LeedsRhinos TV stuff they did on Youtube for a while where they went behind the scenes a bit had its moments - they seem to have largely ditched it though.

There just isn't a market for it.

They should up their game with regards to better content though.

Put it all on their social media for people to watch. But if it's just the same old cliched sh-te we've heard a million times don't even bother.

One thing that puzzled me (as Fev fan) is that it seems hard to find footage of full first team games? RhinosTV on the website sometimes shows the academy games in full a few days after they have happened but is that correct that you can't go back and watch a full Leeds 1st team game (unless it was on Sky?).

Re: Rhinos TV : Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:05 pm  

As someone who lives too far away to attend home or away games, I'd be interested in some kind of package that lets me watch non-televised first team matches. Youtube has been great for catching up on highlights and interviews, however.

In terms of interesting behind the scenes footage or player interviews, compared to the usual yes. Because the usual is dull boring, “we’ll keep working hard in training” lines.

Yep agreed. Though I don’t think monetising it is the best way to go as yes it brings in some money but it massively limits your audience. As I said I wouldn’t pay for the bog standard, dull, uninspiring interviews and content we get.
The only thing that might get me to part with some money is access to full length non-televised games with commentary. But I assume there’s something in the Sky deal stopping that as I don’t think any SL club has it?

Rugby League needs to grow its audience not reduce it by charging for these things for a little extra income. A keen supporter might pay for this but not a passing supporter and/or someone who simply just looked out for the rugby league scores. All these behind the scenes videos, live coverage of matches etc. should be made available free of charge.

[quote="rollin thunder"]i think its a good idea, but no individual clubs are big enough to have their own network. Needs to be all Super league clubs on board, and with support from sky. The same as NFL game pass. each club can have their own channel of content but part of the overall network. NFl season pass works out about £15 a month Cheaper if you pay up front for full 12 months. this is where we should be heading and it should be part of

An NFL style game pass for Super League would really appeal to me as I have no interest in paying a full sky subscription to watch Premier League football.

The better route would be to give the material away for free on YouTube and find sponsorship for it.

A 'Rhinos TV' would only ever preach to the converted and, frankly, I've got better things to spend my money on than watching the U18s team (who I can watch for a token amount at Stanningley) and the usual media-trained dirge that is a pre/post-match presser.

There's a lot that can be done to bring out the personality of the club and players to appeal to new audiences. Personalities like Konrad Hurrell, who already has a big social media following, would be wasted on a club TV channel.
