Overview
Rugby League is one of Australia’s most entertaining and popular sports. The National Rugby League acts as the governing body for this nationally beloved game. Telecasts have grown to be among the most watched programs on Australian television.
The 16 team NRL Telstra Premiership is the closest elite sporting competition in the country and the Holden State of Origin series between New South Wales and Queensland is Australian sport’s greatest rivalry.
In 2017 the NRL began a large scale project to build its own digital network to foster and support the game.
Key Takeaways
At project launch the NRL chose to work with Usabilla to allow their fans to have a voice on the new digital network.
This initial implementation offered a ‘feedback’ button on NRL.com and every elite club’s responsive website on the network.
This ‘voice of the fan’ has allowed the NRL to;
The Challenge
During a fast-paced digital transformation, the NRL needed to find a way of gathering real-time feedback to the website updates, helping them understand what fans liked, disliked and needed.
“The implementation process was very easy and straightforward and Usabilla supported us very well throughout the process. They have been very proactive about sharing best practice and this has helped us maximise the value we get from the solution. It’s helping to drive change within the organisation.”
John Edwards Senior Product Manager, NRL
The Solution
The Usabilla Voice of Customer solution enabled the NRL to continuously monitor the incoming feedback since launch day through to now.
The feedback received through the feature has helped the product team prioritise the digital roadmap based on what their fans were telling them they wanted and needed.
The benefits of real-time user feedback have been numerous and included the ability to rapidly identify and quantify the impact of technical issues while accelerating their resolution.
Through Usabilla the entire development team can now actively follow post-release feedback to understand how each change is being perceived.
It has also helped the NRL gauge the performance of new functionality. Earlier this year as the network began live streaming Rugby League matches, Usabilla campaigns were used to help the NRL understand their fan’s experience and the quality of the stream they were watching in real-time.
Usabilla has helped the NRL achieve:
What's Next?
Usabilla has recently been implemented on the NRL’s grassroots websites and app with further plans to roll it out across other digital products in the near future. This will ensure the NRL continues to receive feedback and measure their digital fan’s satisfaction throughout their entire journey with the Rugby League.
“I would highly recommend Usabilla for any digital team that struggles with getting user insights following releases. Usabilla has allowed us to put our fans at the heart of our digital development and make everyone in the digital team a stakeholder in the insights we are gathering.”
John Edwards Senior Product Manager, NRL

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
