Nine get the first choice of 48 games . then Fox pick the next 48 games, then club requests get put in then heritage. Women in League. Rivalry and whatever else is chosen. All that is left get Sunday 6:30 and Monday 7pm which is usually dominated by Sharks Raiders Manly and Penrith. Total corrupt farce. Eddie Obeid could draw up a fairer process.

Click to expand...

I don't mind some teams getting a lot more free to air over others, if they do rate well but I must say the inequality of Monday games is my biggest bugbear.

It was only a couple of years ago we had about 7 in the season & we will have similar again it seems. It's bullshit.

People made a big deal about how many the eagles got this year but sfa will be said about us getting a stack again.

If memory serves no team was supposed to get more than 4 in a f**king season, and we have 4 in the first half? What a crock of shit.

Get with the program guys. In 2015 the NRL is holding a full review of the sustainability of all clubs within the league. Similar to what the AFL did a couple of years ago.

'Youse' remember the rugby league did something similar when they booted out Souffs. They set a criteria for all clubs. Now when a couple of the big boys didn't meet the criteria that was set, they simply changed the rules.

Sooooooooo back to the present. I wonder if one of the new criteria for the full sustainability will be focussed on crowds, membership and TV pulling ratings.

It is being written as we speak.

Maybe we should move to Perth, Adelaide, Central Queensland, Gosford, or the 2nd Brissie Team. Narhhhh lets just stick with the they can go and get farkkkkked attitude.

I am all for the Farkkkk Em option. Weeze got Lawyers and Money. (or we will have in 2015)

It's very difficult for me to make Monday games. I live an hour away from Shark Park and usually don't get home from work till 5:30.
Which means I'm not home from the game till near 11pm so that rules out taking the family.

Well when I can only really get to 6 games a year normally & then they bung on so many Mondays, it really makes it hard to justify renewing the family membership. Especially after the ridiculous price hike for where I sit.

The draw is going to make intersesting reading - Ch 9 will shoot themselves in the foot with the same teams FTA games....then complain ratings are dropping.

The funny thing is , 3 of their favourites (Eels, Tigers & Dragons) were wooden spoon contenders last year. I bet these teams get 10 times as many FTA games combined than we do in the first 20 weeks.

Posted this on SF.... as I'm not one that really cares about the day/time that games get played more so about how our draw works out in terms of teams we play and when.

So...

Teams we play twice

Warriors
Parra
Penrith
Roosters
Dragons
Manly
Cowboys
Tigers

Teams we play once

Broncos (A)
Storm (A)
Raiders (H)
Titans (H)
Souths (H)
Bulldogs (A)


Could have been worse in terms of those team break downs.

Round 20-26 .... only 2 games at home.

Will need to be in a good position coming in to this.
