When do the NRL announce schedule for last 6 rounds?

[no name]

Also, if it wasn't for JTs injury, they looked to have picked pretty good games for the Saturday FTAs.

 

[The Marshall]

Surely Nine could have found more entertaining teams to show then putting on the Bulldogs 5/6 times. I'm a fan and even I find it tough to watch them

 

[Timmah]

Their picks for Thu/Fri/Sun are dross as usual in most cases, but there are some good Sat 7:30 games they've got

 

[Nice Beaver]

Happy with that - 5 Sunday games out of 6 for us.

 

[T.S Quint]

All Thursday and Friday for the Eels.

So this is what it feels like to be a Broncos supporter.

Except premierships in a generation.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

So Nein have seen the ladder and the utter shit being dished up and they've still got Souffs, Bulldogs and Tigers on several times in prime time.

Ah shit, forgot about that.

Well, we've got all the Thursday/Friday games now...it all starts here! No excuses!

Because it doesn't come down to which games will be the best spectacle. It comes down to which team rates the best, and despite not being the best teams around, Souths, Canterbury and Parramatta have a shitload of fans who tune in to watch them play.

If only those same fans turned up at the game though.

Ratings are down. It's clear why. Last night 1 v 2 and it's not on FTA. Friday we are stuck with a cripple fight in front of three people. There's no way one rates better than the other.

I don't know.
There must be a reason why these TV executives put these games on in prime time.
It can't just be because they are shot at their jobs, or they want to f**k over the NRL.
They know more about how ratings work than all of us, I'm sure.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

I'm not.

Cowbs v Broncs on a Thursday night in NQ is f**king lunacy. By all means make it a Friday, but Thursday will effect the crowd figure by a bit.

 

[dogz08]

bulldogs v parra always get around 30k, but let's put both games on a thursday night!!

 

[M2D2]

where did the Saturday 7:30pm slot becoming FTA come from? Cant click the tele link to find out.

 

[Pommy]

4 more Thursday/Friday games. f**king hell.

 

[POPEYE]

Great to be a soc pensioner who anywhere he visits on the weekend has Fox . . . then again, if the Central West had a team of it's own scheduling might matter . . . yeh, nah

They announced the trial last year. I think from next year it is full time.

So by my calculations that'll be 10 of the 22 Friday 6pm games held in Sydney (NZ 6, Newcastle 2, Canberra 2, Melbourne 1, Gold Coast 1).
