I ve watched a bit of the channel. Bit surprised the actual commentators like Andrew Voss aren't involved in any shows.

Yeah I noticed that, Which is quite a shame really after all he did a great job with the 2016 Cronulla Premiership review DVD.....

This channel is absolute f**king shit.

On most weeknights you've got NRL 360 and another show. Then they repeat the shit out of them over the next 24 hours and do it again. Monday night is NRL 360 and Monday Night with Matty Johns. Both shows get repeated five times. That's 12 hours taken up by these two shows of dubious quality.

I had hoped we'd get something like the AFL channel where it's just wall to wall games that aren't hacked up. But sadly we're just getting wall to wall shit.

About a few issues raised by some people - lack of old games & edited replays for 2017 games:

Some old games featuring the Thursday Night teams from 2pm to 5pm tomorrow & FNF teams from 1 to 4 on Friday. As for the 30 minute & 1 hour edited versions of games, that looks like it only happens occasionally. There are still full replays from the round scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays (mix of full game & edited) & Thursdays.

Also Try Time is on 5 pm on Monday & replayed on Tuesday at 11am.

I agree though, would like to see some old games at night to break up magazine shows. As for Thursday & Friday old games, just something to add to the IQ as a lot of people will be at work. (some lucky ones at pub/club might see them)

You'd have a point if I wasn't talking about what is scheduled to be televised starting next week.

I see what you are saying but even when there was no 24 hour league channel, every game was replayed at least twice. Surely that wont change.

Would have been better if they had set aside some prime time slots on say a Tues and Weds night for regular historic games. So every Tuesday night you could have an international game, every Wednesday night a historic finals game. Have some players and coaches who were involved introducing the game and doing some analysis of it at HT etc. Work the shows around this so every night you basically had a show, a game (either current NRL or historic), show. Most people are only watching between 6pm and 11pm anyway.

I didn't think they could make NRL360 much worse but hats off to them they managed it! I am taking it Slothfield and Kent don't get on?

It seems to me when the following were handed out at time of conception, the last in line were the following nimrods-
Vibrant exciting personalities:Webster
Faces that have been reorganised by a brick:Flufffield.
Eloquent media men:Kent
Pretend Deep voices: Hooper.

It seems the new channel has just given a new outlet for journo floggers like Hooper, Badel, Rothfield et al to spout their shit.

It's bad enough that they are given column space in newspapers, now they can be heard and seen in mainstream media.
