:lol:I guess that some people were just born to be bitter. Can't blame him for being bitter after the Eels' abysmal performace last night.

Well throwing this one open to the forum -

Does anyone have any (serious) suggestions for which games should be fixed in place and when?

For example -

Your club's big rivalry games
Your club's highest drawing games
Scheduling for weather
Synchronising with other events
etc

I don't agree with having the full season fixed. Need some space for late season blockbusters at the very least. One of the reasons our game is better than the mexican one is that it is close each season. Every year there are sudden death matches in the final two rounds. And every year 2-3 teams from the previous years final series drop out. So we don't know what the biggest late season games will be until after round 22 maybe. I wouldn't have guessed at the start of last year that the Knights-Souths game would be so important in the last round.
Not everyone has pay tv so FTA should get a crack at those important games.

But some fixed dates would be perfect and each club should be allowed to nominate a few they want. And the NRL can fix a few too ie rivalry rounds and GF replays.

Fox has the rights to the ANZAC matches that don't fall on Friday or Sunday. They did broadcast the Roosters/Dragons on Friday afternoon several years ago (with Eels/Broncos being the Ch9 match later that night), but that was before the 2 FN match system was introduced in 2007.

And how did the email to Guaci go?

Oh I see.

I'm sure Ron has more pressing issues than emails at this stage.

If CH 10 get the rights & all games are on FTA(with simulcast on fox) then this is not a problem anymore...
But if only 4-5 games are on FTA
then
1st 20 rounds fixed schedule..last 6 rounds decided by the network with rights..

So far this year we've had Thursday and Sunday night football. Channel Nine could do worse for themselves than to cover the preliminary final rematch and ANZAC Day clash out of Melbourne on a Wednesday and show it live in to Melbourne. They are already committed (or so they say) to showing Storm games on Gem with the possibility of blockbusters (which this sure as shit is) moving to the main Channel.

I might even fire off an email to Ron Gauchi myself and tell him to get in the ear of whoever the f**k matters to make this happen!

"with the possibility" is the key passage there. It's just used as a smokescreen by Nein to lull Storm fans into a false sense of security.

you don't like the thread, don't read it.

I liked it last year.

So until you can find the "new thread" button you can f*ck off back to your circle jerk with Brutus.
