I'd like to see a Saturday arvo televised QLD Cup game on Fox. 2pm.
Nice idea, but with 3pm NRL games on most Saturdays & triple headers (NYC, NSW Cup & NRL) locked in on those days with later NRL kickoffs it can't happen.

Repeating programs over and over isn't new to foxtel channels.

Ever watched any of the doco channels?

If you're expecting 24 hours of new programming then I'd suggest you missed out on economics at high school.

They have them every Thursday & Friday afternoon with teams from the games being played that night.
Oh excellent, I'm looking forward to a season of Broncos replays.

I'm not aware of the History Channel repeating the same two hours of content for half of the day, every day.

Yes, but even the documentary channels don't do replays as badly as Fox League have. Tonight is a classic example they have the following shows on (all times are Australian Eastern Daylight Time) -

6.30 pm - Live: NRL 360
7.30 pm - Live: League Life
8.00 pm - Live: Queenslanders Only
8.30 pm - NRL 360 (replay of 6.30 pm show)
9.30 pm - League Life (replay of 7.30pm show)
10.00 pm - Queenslanders Only (replay of 8.00 pm show)
10.30 pm - NRL 360 (replay of 6.30 pm show)
11.30 pm - League Life (replay of 7.30pm show)
12.00 am - Queenslanders Only (replay of 8.00 pm show).

It is one thing to have repeats at different times of the day, but 2 replays within 6 hours of the live show is ridiculous.

Love the channel and honestly the interviews I'm most interested in apart from my own team is juornos like Webster and the other bloke who isn't Rothfield.
Loved the sterlo piece on Reni Maitua too.

It is one thing to have repeats at different times of the day, but 2 replays within 3 hours of the live show is ridiculous.
especially when most people can record the shows and watch it at whatever time suits them which makes replays redundant

Still would like a proper retro day or evening

Why not start with a full round from when all matches were broadcast. Then move forward every round every week

Or at least they could dig up classic matches with the same teams that are playing on the weekend. They're kinda doing that with the thursday and friday episodes of League Rewind, but it pretty much looks like the Brisbane Broncos show at the moment since they only reflect games being played on those nights.

There's got to be a way to broadcast more than just 1 QLD Cup game even if they don't show it live. I know all PNG Hunters games are televised why not show these.

Yet I've seen Brett and Wade put in the same f**king tank for Shaquille on animal planet 57 times already this year.

It's been said before ...but geez it's disappointing that they haven't gone all out to celebrate all the possible content at hand...ESL content can't be that much surely..nor would a little more OLD cup hurt ...
