Sale the latest Premiership club to consider fly-on-the-wall documentary series

Gallagher Premiership club Sale Sharks could soon feature in their own sports documentary on Amazon Prime with Steve Diamond, their colourful director of rugby, a potential star of the show.

The Sharks have told RugbyPass that initial discussions have taken place between Amazon representatives and a team of independent filmmakers about creating a television series which follows the club through the course of one or more seasons. 

A four-minute trailer has even been created to illustrate the Sale story, with Diamond featuring prominently. South African World Cup winner Faf de Klerk and England internationals Tom Curry and Manu Tuilagi would also represent a significant draw for rugby fans, especially if full behind-the-scenes access is granted.

      RugbyPass brings you Inside The Barbarians, the behind the scenes documentary in the run-up to their game last November versus Wales

      The discussions at Sale come just a few months after Northampton confirmed it had engaged sports marketing agency CSM Sport & Entertainment to find broadcasting and production partners for a fly-on-the-wall documentary on life at Franklin’s Gardens.

      The revelation that Sale are now also in the race to bring the inside story of an English club rugby season to the screen may prompt others to explore the possibility. However, any hope of filmmakers gaining league-wide access to all twelve Premiership clubs – as Formula 1 managed to negotiate for the Drive to Survive documentary on Netflix – would be premature.

      Sale, who have indicated that other production companies are also interested in hearing more about their plans, represent an intriguing proposition, especially if the Sharks can challenge for the Gallagher Premiership title while the cameras are following them.

      Despite last weekend’s restart loss at Harlequins, they currently lie third in the 2019/20 Premiership and their recent signing of Tuilagi is a forewarning to opponents that they want to be challenging for the title consistently over the next few seasons.

      Off the pitch, the club also believes they have a compelling story to tell about rugby union in the north-west of England and how communities in which the Sharks are active in are benefitting from the game.

      The ultimate challenge, though, would be to create a series which matches the thrills and insights rugby fans have become accustomed to, not only in the behind-the-scenes Lions documentaries but also the high calibre productions from RugbyPass, such as Inside The Barbarians and Tonga: Road to Japan.

      My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
