They are f**king imbeciles. They have absolutely no awareness of themselves or their product.

I can't see the logic in having Melbourne v Souths on Friday against the AFL 500 metres down the road, and Penrith v NZ on at the same time as the All Blacks.

The most obvious and simple solution would be to switch them around and I can't see any reason not to. Their thinking makes no sense.

The thinking is that South's ran 3rd and if they lose.. they deserve more break than a team that ran 8th

If your a league/Warriors fan in NZ a 5:40pm AEST kick off is better then a Friday night. It’s unfortunate the All Blacks are at the same time.

Now its confirmed it makes more sense Penrith at ANZ but still can't work out why the Storm game isnt a Saturday when theres no AFL game there?

Agree.

Someone at the NRL needs to explain why Roosters v Sharks can't be Friday night and Storm v Bunnies Sat night.

The NRL is truly f**ked.

Roosters-Sharks can't be Friday because Cronulla just played today and there's next to zero chance they'd allow a top four team to play on a five day turnaround.

The thinking is that sharks will lose .. and South's will lose

So if both lose .. who deserves longer break ?

Agreed.

Penrith v NZ is the only logical switch for the friday game. But it shouldn’t even need a switch, it should have been arranged in the first f**king place.

NRL scheduling is a JOKE
There is one night that you wouldn't put the storm game on and that is Friday

I don't think it's the NRL growing balls to schedule against the competition either, more likely that channel 9 has the NRL by its balls and told them what they wanted, because we all know the NRL doesn't give 2 shits about crowds - its all about the TV money

Might have to scroll throw Twitter to see if that muppet Greenberg has given a reason for the Friday night Melbourne game
