Paywall at NZ Herald...

Who's seen the paywall go up at NZ Herald?
Hopefully Rattues articles go there so I don't have to read them by accident. Hoorah! -

I'm sure their readership is going to plummet. I'm not paying for content.

I had a look and most of their "premium content" is cut and pasted from other sources so you can probably cut and paste whats visible and chuck it into google and read it for free.

@jegga Yeh, lived in Melbourne for a while, when the Herald Sun went paywall you could just google it if you could be bothered and get it for free that way.
The Age has a restricted number of articles, but just clear out your browser history and you're good to go again. -
Just gold. You'd think you would have wanted to make this move prior to destroying all trust in your journalism first.
Hope stuff.co.nz follows suit. -

Theres a real opportunity here for someone local who wants to do longform analysis of the games, teams and selections and podcasts because I wouldn't pay to read any of the sports journalism on stuff or the herald.
Typically listen to Radio Sport I think on the drive to work - whatever station that is featuring Nate Rarere etc. anyways those guys from 1014 seem to know their shit. Fascinating level of analysis.

RugbyPass hasn't quite hit the mark and there is a clear gap here for them to fill. Not only the bit the Ferald now deem to be 'premium' but the daily team updates and match reports.

Hope stuff.co.nz follows suit.I certainly don’t. I don’t want to have to pay to be annoyed at shithouse journalism and human stupidity and offence. It completely goes against my Scottish heritage.

Barry Soper isn’t premium content but Audrey Young is .
Are Rattue and Paul both going to be premium or one of them going to be “ Sopered”?
Barrys wife might be pretty grating on air but she is 34 and he's close to 70, short, fat and bald.
He's punching like a Hollywood mogul.

Love that the NZ Herald website still doesn't have anything at all about the massive Sam Whitelock story over 20 minutes after NZR broke it to the world for free via Twitter.
Fantastic trolling of what has become a dogshit newspaper.
I thought the Herald was supposed to be the NZRU dogsbody? Why would they want to troll them.

Huh? Some of their writers hate NZR and don’t hide the fact.
