About the role:NSWRL are looking for people who can do weekend work (in season) to write match reports of major competitions games for our website.
The person(s) need to have knowledge and understanding of rugby league; competent writing skills; and confident to conduct post-match interviews with coaches/ players.
Photography skills not necessary but a bonus.
NSW Cup match report guidelines
the opening paragraph should include full team name of the team who won, the full team name of the team they beat, the score and the venue
the second paragraph should be a summary of what happened, did one team dominate, was there a comeback, which players played well, etc
the match report should be 8-10 paragraphs long and be a summary of the flow of the game – not every try needs to be recorded
if possible, get quotes from a player or coach to complement what you are writing about eg: if a player scores a hat-trick how did they feel about it
look for strong news stories, players who have performed well particularly those who are on the cusp of NRL selection or have dropped back from NRL level;
additional stories are encouraged if you want to interview players after a game for a profile piece which we will publish the following week
