[dogslife]

please invent viewers choice so I don't have to watch the Broncos every friday night at 7:30

 

[beave]

Play the damn Cowboys Storm game on Sunday night NRL, totally unfair that they have to play on a Monday night and then back up on a Saturday, no club should have to do that regardless of who they are. I just shake my head at this amatuer comp sometimes........

 

[Timmah]

Pretty sure that's what the club has requested beave, calm down.

Whinging about a decision that hasn't actually been made yet :lol:

Playing Monday and backing up Saturday is exactly the same as playing Sunday and backing up Friday. It happens all the time, the Cowboys need to stop whinging and get on with it.

Move closer to the border. Viewers choice every Friday night in the southern Gold Coast/Tweed area.

I think he fcked that up, Im sure he meant its no good playing Mon and then backing up on Friday, surely?

Im guessing that it was considered very likely that Cowboys v Storm would be FNF for the QLD market.

 

[beave]

Yeah thats what I meant, apologies. There's a good chance that could be the Friday game.

 

[NRL-TGG]

Yeah thats what I meant, apologies. There's a good chance that could be the Friday game.

I think that has only ever happened to one club and there may have been rule put forward after that match to prevent it.

Under the rules, ch 9 can't pick a team to play Friday night football if they are coming off a monday night game. Fox play games at time with ch 9, picking teams to play Monday night if they have a big clash coming up so they get that game as well.

Not likely..

When was the last time Broncos didn't play on Good Friday?

Which reminds me, what happened to the Roosters/Broncos Good Friday games? Obviously they couldn't do it last year due to Anzac Day so it was replaced with the Tigers. However, this year they have scheduled it to be with the Tigers again, when there is no reason why it couldn't be with the Roosters.

There is zero chance of NQL/MEL being scheduled on Good Friday, for two reasons.

1. There are NRL guidelines preventing four-day turnarounds.

2. The one time it was broken was with written permission from the club disadvantaged by it.

3. On releasing the draw in November, the NRL confirmed Canterbury v Souths and Tigers v Broncos were the Good Friday matches.

Disappointing, that's always one of my favourites and usually pulls a good crowd.

The Cowboys were the ones complaining about the Monday/Saturday turnaround, that's what I was commenting on.

The Cowboys say they can live with Sunday afternoon but not Monday night, given they have a big game against 2011 minor premiers Melbourne in Townsville the following weekend, with the match likely to be scheduled for Friday or Saturday night.

"To play a game five days later, with the travel involved, would make things extremely difficult for us," Cowboys football manager Peter Parr said.

It happens all the time. If the Warriors can do it, I see no reason why the Cowboys can't.

Sometimes they like to write it into paragraphs when it's easier to just do a list.

Fillerbustering if I've ever seen it.
