I've just had a call from a publican in Melbourne who says he having all sorts of trouble of getting the State of Origin live on his screens.
He says that some other larger places, such as the Crown Casino have the game live but when he telephoned the NRL to ask if he could get it, they simply said, "It can't be done."
Now this guy isnt asking for a freebie. He is willing to pay for the coverage. He has all the satellite and cable in place and wants to get rugby league in his pub for his patrons.
Its especially frustrating when we know the game is being televised live to NZ, the UK, PNG and even Vanuatu... but not Melbourne.
Does anyone know of any pubs in Melbourne where the League fans can watch the greatest game of all?
