BankWest opening not live on 9

[Shark62]

So Bankwest stadium has its opening on Monday and the game isn’t live on the home of rugby league? Scheduling masterpiece!

I don’t see that being a problem.

All RL games on Public Holidays should be on ch9. All part of the stupidity at NRL

I have Fox Sports too. A casual viewer after 3 days off. Might want to just watch some TV and watch.

No reason can't give Sunday 4pm game to Fox for weeks like this. Those casual viewers might like the 'event' and to a game

Our major competitor will have a big game on Monday I’m sure and it will be fta. We never learn.

This is a special one off occasion. Can’t have been impossible to get agreement to it. I agree with you 100%

We may have started on the wrong foot Shark62 but you come up with some valid points. This one being a case in point. Well done.

Not only that. Look at the bad PR the Allianz rebuild got. How better to show how well new Staduims can be?

Only recently did we get ANZAC Day on ch9. RL poorly handle holiday rounds. This round didn't need a Thurs night game eitther

rugby league must be the most reactive professional sport on the planet. How hard is it to take the initiative?

What? This is like the only week this year where a Thursday night game actually makes sense. We’d be crazy to scrap it this week.

Tv ratings for both codes say otherwise. Regardless of that Monday’s game had to be on fta. Terrible tv scheduling.

The Easter Monday game should have been simulcast. Not that I follow other codes (except soccer ) but I assume media savvy codes like AFL have most of their games covered as simulcast. The more people see it the more relevance it can potentially gain. Something rugby league has lost aim of in recent times.

I haven’t looked at the ratings this week, was Thursday night particularly bad? Otherwise I don’t understand what you mean.

I agree that Monday should be on FTA.

The fta Thursday night for nrl was 570000 including regionals. That is very low. Afl wasn’t much better.
