I think the biggest appeal with Fox's coverage of the NRL is that each game has it's own timeslot. In the past, there used to be two Saturday night games at 7:30pm.

Now it's an easy flow on from one game to the next in a seemless way. Eg, Super Saturday, 3pm, 5:30pm and 7:30pm. You are not missing anything.

That’s exactly right. It’s also why the length of our game is perfect and quarters are a bad idea. Look at the fumblers as an example. Their game takes too long and they have too many games meaning scheduling is a disaster. We can actually schedule2 more games in by going to 20. They simply can’t if they went to 20. They are already doubling up.

Quarters would change the fabric of the game. A team could be attacking their opponents try line at 19min 40 sec mark with a full set. If Quarters came in, they would only have a couple of plays at best.

The NRL could easily go to 20 teams with ten timeslots. On Saturday, the kick off schedules could be 2pm,,4pm, 6pm, 8pm. And on Sunday, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm, provided that NZ 2 come in.

In the first month of the season, due to warm weather, you could bring in Monday night games at 7pm.

Mind boggles that fox pays so much for afl games it doesn’t have exclusively

I know this was true of a Friday and the live/delay broadcast would be different in NSW and QLD...but how far back was the Saturday night thing?

God had to be a decade ago I’d forgotten about that. You could put the screen and watch both.

I was going to say had to be pre simulcast, so 2011 at the latest

Yeah it was before I retired the first time so about that at the latest

 

[Western_Eel]

The commentary on fox just call it as it’s seen, nine commentary seem to know better than the players and criticise every play they make. I can’t stand it

Pheuma is right, about a decade ago. For years, Fox would have one game at 7:30pm live, and the other, a full delayed replay at 9:30pm. Then came "viewers choice" where from the press of a button, you could choose which game to watch live from the two 7:30pm matches.

Of course Nine had delayed games with full of ads in the past. At around 2015, Nine finally started doing the Sunday afternoon game live from 4pm. As for the two Friday night games, where one was live, and the other delayed, Nine continued doing that until the end of the 2017 season.

The Friday 6pm "pub game" was introduced from Fox at the beginning of 2018.

After boggling, what explanation does your mind bring forth?

There is strong opposition to private health care in the UK. Similar resistance to public health care in the US. In both cases it largely derives from that section of the population who believe that change would involve them paying twice.

Broncos v Dragons crowd 26k - low side, Fox rating 335k - high side.

Looks to me there is a cohort of NRL fans who when they take out a Fox subscription are less inclined to buy a membership and attend games.

The equivalent AFL fans are less likely to take out a Fox subscription and more likely to buy a membership and attend games. This is disappointing from an NRL crowd point of view, but the quid pro quo should be the NRL get a lot more money from Fox.

I've read all the defences of why AFL is deemed more valuable to TV and none of them are commercially plausible. There's something rotten at the heart of the broadcast deals.

Fox ratings for 3 rounds of NRL are striking. Experts said the STB numbers would fall with the advent of streaming. The opposite seems to be happening for NRL games this year.

Comparable AFL round 1 ratings are poor.

PVL must see all these figures. What does he think? Not what does he say he thinks in interviews. What does he really think?

The answer to that question would be found in what he`s thinking when he lays in bed at night in the dark, staring at the ceiling.
The conundrum for him; how do I do the right thing by the Murdoch`s, the people who if he gets it right could promote him to positions of inconceivable power in their global empire and alternatively, how do I do the right thing by Rugby League, the game that he likes to tell us, made him accepted as a different looking little migrant boy with a funny name in a foreign land 50 years ago.
