6pm time slot is doing quite well imho. Maybe push it to 6:30

It's the sat 3pm game & thurs that need to be changed

Which f**k knuckle thought it would be a good idea to schedule the Dragons v Sharks game at 6pm on a Friday night?

Problem is the TV networks, and it seems the NRL, don't give a rats about bums on seats at the game they would ratrher everyone be watching it on TV. It's why I often think the NRL's advertising about how "important" fans are is hypocritical as they do everything to turn off people from actually going to the game.

Today was also a glorious day for Sunday footy.

Not that schedulers are Nostradamus.

The game didn't have to be in Sydney it's just poor planning for the load. We have gone Fri - 2, Sat - 3, Sun - 1. If they are hell bent on having 3 games for "Super Saturday" the Friday 6pm game was the obvious choice. Fox don't miss out on their exclusive game and people get a full afternoon of league.

Id prefer 2 on Friday and 1 on Sunday then 1 and 2.

Dragons v Sharks @ 6pm Friday wont make much difference.

Suprisingly the Canberra vs manly game on a 6pm Friday night almost beat the crowd of a Sydney rivalry Of Tigers and Bulldogs .

6pm slot is actually performing better than people expected.

The 6pm game from Friday night should of been moved to today.

It's actually comical how wrong Uncle Todd has got the scheduling of the Easter period.

The NRL need to hire that octopus that selects the World Cup winners. He never gets it wrong.

Again the AFL has the jump on us.
It happened last week. The NRL hell bent on Thursday Night Football, but no Football on a Thursday Night before a Public Holiday.

Then ANZAC Round we have a AFL game on Monday Night before ANZAC Day but No NRL. Perhaps one one of the Friday Night games could of been moved to tonight?

I also think that they coud have capitalised on a Western Sydney Double Header on the Anzac Day Weekend.
Penrith v Parramatta then Tigers v Buldogs at ANZ Stadium (2pm, 4pm) - 2 good local derbies with pretty good fanbases.

After the rep round Bulldogs v Cowboys is Thursday night - as a result today reports are the Dogs are withdrawing any players from selection in Country-City due to the short turnaround.

Don't the NRL pay to have the schedule done?

FMD. It's an abortion.

It's almost like they say:

Broncos...Friday night.

Which favoured Sydney team is top of the pops [enter : Saints, Rabbits, Dogs, Eels, Tigers, Roosters] bang them in on Friday.

Next two Sunday 4pm.

What about Canberra? Auckland? Townsville? Melbourne? Newcastle?

Who?

Exactly.
