ABC Grandstand NSW needs RL talk on a sat arvo

[Brutus]

I noticed last night during the ABC call several people sent texts in calling for ABC Radio in NSW to dump the live call of the AFL (usually involving nuffy victorian teams) in favour of a RL-dominated show. The hosts naturally thought it would be a good idea and for RL fans to maintain the rage.

If anyone wants to send a text through today it's 19920222. They usally read it out on air.

They actually play AFL coverage on NSW Radio? Wouldnt be caught dead hearing NRL on radio down here; I find that remarkable

They actually play it live on FTA tv as well in the afternoons.

I wasn't mocking by the way, just agreeing with you there is a massive difference between how the codes are treated in their less dominant states.

While there is no LIVE NRL on Saturday afternoon the ABC will not even contemplate dropping the AFL.
The AFL is a national broadcast and the ABC powerbase in Victoria would need an incredible prod to suggest it not continue into NSW, Qld. and ACT. Its a disgrace but sadly after 8 years it won't change.

Now heres a thought...........

Why don't the ABC call a NSW Cup game on Saturday arvo, while having RL talk back before and after? Maybe they could just call the second half of the NSW Cup?

Not only would that get rid of the the AFL off our wireless' but also increase the profile of the NSW Cup, and most importantly give us an alternative to bloody Raaaaay and his clowns on GB with no f*cking ads every five minutes.

Perfect idea.
