Was in Brisvegas last weekend and was watching a Saturday afternoon game of the QLD cup. Seems as though the ABC has the rights to show those games.
This made me think... Why the hell don't we get any free to air games for the NRL on Saturdays on the telly anymore?
What happened to the good ol' days where you could sit down on a saturday arvo, open a beer or ten and watch a bit of Rugby League which was free to air? I realise that channel nine and FOX cover most games but surely if the ABC are allowed to show the QLD cup then they should be allowed to show the NATIONAL comp.
I'm not familiar with the TV rights history so if anyone can fill me in with some details I would be most interested to know why this is no longer the case.
