AUSTRALIA DAY CHALLENGE :: 26 Jan :: Rabbitohs 24 Rhinos 26 @ Florida, USA

[bobmar28]

I don't think the salary cap comes into it, in fact they will probably lose money. And the publicity for rugby league is priceless. Good on Rusty and PHac. 45 degrees in Florida? (8 degrees celsius) That's a bit cold. Jacksonville is on the same latitude as Coffs Harbour.

Does this come under the salary cap.

Just another rort disguised as a exhibition match.

Good point. Lets punish those that take the time and effort to expand our game!

Nothing showing up on the Fox guide just yet I'm afraid.

Am I right in saying IF the game is broadcast live on FOX (which is looking doubtful now) itd be on about 10 am on the 27th?

If it is to be shown live then it will be on @ 5am on the 27th.

According to Shane Richardson,they are trying to do a deal with channel 9 for a delayed telecast.

God that reporter needs at atlas!

JM: Well, so where are you right now?
RC: Nana Glen in Northern New South Wales.
JM: I'm sorry, you said that was in Wales?
RC: The state of New South Wales. Australia's only got six states, but they're really big.

She prolly thinks the capital of Australia is Sydney too.....

Just checked foxsports.com tv guide. It hasn't listed the match for this weekend.

 

[griffo346]

[Timmah]

They have cricket on in the early hours of the morning? :?

[griffo346]

Meanwhile, is there any noise about the squad Souths took over? Leeds seemed quite happy announcing theirs...?

Souths took their whole fulltime playing squad:
Roy Asotasi, Nathanael Barnes, Beau Champion, David Fa’alogo, Beau Falloon, Scott Geddes, Yileen Gordon, Luke Grant, Michael Greenfield, Shannon Hegarty, Sam Huihahau, David Kidwell, Ben Lowe, Jaiman Lowe, Issac Luke, Manase Manuokafoa, Shannan McPherson, Nathan Merritt, George Ndaira, Eddie Paea, Germaine Paulson, Eddy Pettybourne, Ben Rogers, Jeremy Smith, Jamie Simpson, Luke Stuart, John Sutton, Fetuli Talanoa, John Tamanika, Nigel Vagana, Dean Widders, Craig Wing.

But JT has said that Roy Asotasi, David Kidwell and Nigel Vagana won't play because they were involved with the Kiwis. I believe Craig Wing is recovering from surgery as well.

Just watched NRL news on www.bigpondtv.com, Russell Barwick was interviewing Steve Mascord from the Daily Telegraph from Jacksonville.

Russell stated that the match would be shown live on Sunday Morning from 5:00am
