Anzac TV war between codes

Gallop our fearless leader:lol:

We can have their sh*t on live but our wonderful admin do f**k all about getting our game on at a reasonable hour down there.

If anything it's the Storm v Warriors game that should be on, even if replayed at 9.30pm or 10.30pm.

Obviously it'd be great to have the game shown nation wide.. but imo, not against one of the AFL's biggest games of the seasons. It'd be cannon-fodder and a greater reason for Channel 9 in the other states to not show RL at reasonable times.

Exactly, so why does Gallop go and make a song and dance about the game being built up into a major event and shown live nationally when he doesn't have the balls to get Nine to show it?

Gallop has done this before to make it appear as if he's on the front foot.

Just get Storm games on at a decent friggin hour to start with!!

not any surprise, but no less dissapointing all the same. Why even talk about National coverage when Gallop hasn't got the b4lls to back it up with action.

I can see the reasoning. Big fumbleball game on, so why risk losing the ratings to those AFL bastards. Better off cornering that lucrative 1am timeslot...

ohhh, so they will watch the biggest game of the year when their side is in it but not give a f**k at any other time.


yep, i can hear the cheque for tv rights getting bigger by the minute.

and we all know channel nine are sacraficing all that tv revenue by not showing the game live because they have an anti storm agenda.

As I understood the negotiations were ongoing. The schedules are always released about a week or so ahead of time, there is still a potential for a change.

Maybe because the Grand Final is the only game we get live on FTA. It's hard to get excited about watching regular season games when you won't see the conclusion until around 2.30am... Most people need sleep you know.

I don't have a problem with it, particularly given it means Nine are showing live league on a Sunday afternoon for once.

People will deadset complain about anything.

Wow and great news the anti-siphoning laws are about to be renewed...securing the future of Melbourne rugby league fans privilege to watch RL on TV with 8 hours delay during the hours of 1am-3am choc full of eroticism commercials.
