Good to see Sunday night footy back!

 

[flippikat]

Certainly feels a whole lot more real now

 

[big hit!]

Good to see Sunday night footy back!

public holiday eve

EDIT: didn't see rd 3 had a sun night game too. suppose it doesn't matter considering fans can't attend.

bet it will rate well and then FOX will want to do it all every week once everything is back to normal next season, dangling the current of extra $$$ for the NRL.

then no one will go to any games.

 

[The unknown]

That’s unlike the donkeys to get the prime time slots two weeks in a row

 

[Silent Knight]

Surprised my mob is getting two FTA games in a row, both on Sunday.

Least they’re not Fridee night. Baby steps, Unkown.

Better than the 6pm Friday

The Dragons fans are already preparing the bloodhounds and dusting off their torches in anticipation of a cataclysmic defeat at the hands of the Tamworth Warriors.

McBaldy won't get far. His bald head is a shining beacon for miles around.

 

[Mr Angry]

Does not say where, not like I can go am just interested where.

I presume first team listed is home.

What does mean for some games?

eg Storm V Raiders.

Correct.

There's no way the NRL would've scheduled Sunday night games in winter if crowds were still attending. The fact there will still be no fans at the matches makes the timeslots (even the Thursday night and Friday 6pm timeslots) a non-issue.

Also, Fox will get better ratings in the 6:30pm timeslot compared to 2pm. That's the compromise the NRL has done: in exchange for the shortened season, more matches scheduled in prime time.

I'm also surprised about that as well.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Why can't they do 4/6/8pm slots on Saturday?

As far as i can tell, there's be no reason why Storm can't play Raiders at AAMI park? AFL is set to go ahead in VIC so Rugby League would fall under the same guidelines.

Unless I'm missing something clear and obvious that I've forgotten lol

NRL.com's article has indicated the Round 3 and Round 4 matches would be played in NSW and Queensland.

Pretty sure they moved to Albury for a reason, I am guessing Melbourne's home is Bruce and the Warriors have indicated Gosford, the Roosters I presume Gosford, I think we will be Kogarah, Dragons could be there or WIN. I am just wondering if they will do double headers, I am guessing not.

Good if your invovled in production, much cameras.

Melbourne left Albury yesterday after the restrictions were lifted in Victoria, they're back at AAMI Park now. https://www.melbournestorm.com.au/news/2020/05/14/its-good-to-be-home/
