Where can we/how can we make our thoughts known?
Does anyone have an email address?
They need to be told.
This channel should be showing international league games, french league, int 9's, Toronto Wolfpack games, Melanesian cup, etc etc An international wrap up show would be great also

I know where you are coming from, but it is an NRL channel

it's a League channel dopey

It might be called "Fox League" but the content so far would suggest "Fox NRL" would be a more fitting name.

Its a mix of NRL and The Daily Telegraph's opinion (agenda).

Its not even a month old yet though so fingers crossed it improves.

no it wouldn't seeing they've been showing English Super League and NSW Cup

Actually it's called Fox League, which would probably explain why they show Super League games as well.

Edit: Shoulda refreshed the page.

haha I nearly made a little mention of ESL but they got like 38hrs worth of live NRL content, and replay it to death. Totally smothers the small amount of ESL they have.

Technically though you're right, but it doesn't take the knock off the fact there is plenty more League they could be showing, reporting etc.

doesn't matter because they still show it and it sure as shit aint NRL

neither is NSW Cup

who knows what else they will show in the future but they are already in talks with 7 to simulcast the RLWC which again isn't NRL

Yeah I like to believe it will grow and if they simulcast the RLWC that would be a big positive.

Crash isn't the full quid ay.
Tried to give it to Neil Henry 2 times in a row for leaving a press conference and for moving back in the coaches box out of camera shot to relay a message.
Was shut down by Kevvy and Mal straight away.

How pathetic is Craddock, not only pathetic host but stupidly tried to win the argument and failed. Wonder what he'll make of today's press conference with JT.

Jurnos love making excuses if one of their own is doing something stupid.

And throw in Holden Cup & Qld Cup.

And throw in Holden Cup & Qld Cup.

Do they still show QLD Cup games? I was looking for them the other day and didn't see any.

Yep, shown on delay 2pm Wednesdays.

Oh sweet, thanks dude.

An online petition with a few hundred/thousand signatures would make them think again... Anyone with any sort of online know how with this sort of thing? Best to get it started now and see where it goes instead of just bitch on a forum that no one from that channel would ever read...

Fox viewing figs over first two rounds wouldn't indicate any consistent increased viewers so fair to say the addition of the nrl channel has failed to drive new subscriptions from NRL fans.

Actually, if you knew what you were talking about you would know the ratings have increased on last year, especially for simulcast games, which is where some of Nines audience has gone. All of which would indicate to anyone without a severe brain trauma that subscriptions have increased.

Yes Fox League are over doing the repeats of programs, I mean showing the same program like 3 times in the space of 3-6 hours is way over the top. However considering Foxtel reported a loss for the final 6 months of last year, I dare say they are only televising what they have paid rights to. As such I can't see them forking out extra money for some of the stuff people have mentioned (e.g. French league games).
