24 Hour NRL channel

His voice over work in the Cleary story on NRL Tonight belongs on the Comedy Channel.

Bloody hell, it was horrendous.

Constant replays of NRL 360 yep they did listen to the fans.

Nepotism clearly at work here..it's what the fans wanted right...

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.

It's not going to change. The point is that the AFL Channel is constantly showing games, season in and out. New games, old games, Before a season starts I've seen them replay every single game from the prior season. At night they'll put on their daily news/magazine format show and a special, but then it's back to the games and not endless repeats of crap like Monday Night with Matty Johns.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't give two shits about the majority of these new shows. To me they are nothing but padding that is being used to flesh out a "24 hour" Rugby League channel. In terms of games shown they are not really delivering anything more than they already were on Fox Sports 1, except now they're being hacked up to fit in replays of half hour shows like Queenslanders Only and League Life.

My other whine is that the Matty Johns "comedy" troupe is featured so heavily in Fox Sports' presentation, as if already having a shitload of Limited News journalists was not bad enough.

I have no doubt they will show every game of the season again during the off season - what the f**k else are they going to show for 4 months! Bit silly to say that when the channel wasn't operating during this off season. It is 2 days old.

Unlike you, I quite enjoy the magazine style shows.

Turn the channel back into Fox Sports 2 and show summer cricket and soccer?

That's great, but they don't need five repeats each.

Yaaaaaaay!

NRL 360 has always been a Limited News journo lovefest.

I have no respect for any of them.

I started to watch NRL 360 the other day being in Perth,until they dragged the sewer and hoisted out Rothfield so i promptly turned it off
Why do they have the drunk on if ever a so called sports journalist was above his pay grade its him I hope they don't invite him back

How many times did that Yates chick have to be told that the numbers and quality aren't there for a woman's comp yet?

 

[applesauce]

Potential Theory:
There is some sort of cost for replaying/syndicating games from previous broadcasting rights (e.g. previously FOX got exclusive LIVE coverage and 1x replays of each game/week). Part of getting this channel may of be a waiver of these fees or having unlimited rights for replaying games. As a result FOX need this years games in the back catalogue before we see a whole lot more game replays?

This Yates chick seems like an AFL plant. Get rid of her and bring in someone who likes Rugby League.

She normally does V8 Supercars on Fox Sports 5.

Crash found out as having no clue already.
He'll be turning up to Suncorp tomorrow night to watch the Broncos play the Sharks.

Well, I have to say that League Life is probably the most bearable show so far. No Paul Kaaarnt, no Matthew Johns, no Professor, hosts that are reasonably intelligent, mercifully short...

 

[Generalzod]

The View was a great show lol

Now Matt Scott is in his late 20s.
How hard is it to do a little research.
These are only minor details, but f**k me, how hard is it to get someone to host who doesn't just chuck out incorrect information willy nilly.

Christ that QLD show is the worst thing i've ever watched. Targetting squarely at the IBMs of the world.
