Australia v Wales coverage

[In-goal]

does anyone now if there will be a webcast of the game between Wales and Australia at Bridgend?

I read an arcticle before and it went on to read that the Welsh think there a bit of a show against the World Champions, i can't realy see the Welsh troubling the score board attendent littleown the Kangaroos.

I'm pretty sure the only TV broadcast is the delayed one on Fox (2 i think) at 5am on Monday (4am Qld. bloody lack of daylight saving) which is about a 4 hour delay. It would be good if Nine showed it, but they're more likely to show four consecutive replays of Friends these days than show a Roo tour match. Has anyone else noticed the Fox coverage is worse this year. Last year we got the SL GF live, but htis year it was delayed and cut back to 1 1/2 hours, even less than many regular SL games that were extended to 2 hours during the season. And last year they showed Wales v NZ live. I guess there's just too many quality RUWC games that NEED to be replayed over and over again to fit in any live RL.

Poor old fox sports, if only we could get all league followers to get rid of there subscriptions in the off season due to there poor treatment of our game.

RL should be the No.1 sport on FOX after all they are the ones that brought the Super League war to the fore.

 

[dimitri]

exactly

they got everything they wanted out of super league

yet they dont give anything back

It was confirmed in the paper today that Fox Sports 2 will broadcast the game live. 4AM Monday QLD time.

I miss my foxtel

Surely 4am can't be live, the game is at 2pm GMT. My maths is crap, but that's 14 hours behind. I think it actually starts at 1am our time and Fox are just showing it on delay.

 

[Fampa]

My maths is that bad I couldn't be bothered calculating it. Besides, in terms of watchability, there's not too much difference between 1AM and 4AM.

 

[Tidus_Raider]

At this stage any coverage is good coverage. The NRL, ARL or whoever is responsible needs to ensure this does not happen again. The only way to do that is when the next broadcasting rights deal is put together.

 

[Parra_Eels]

whats the bet as per bloody usual they'll just kiss kerry packers arse and give it all to nine or something dtupid like that. we need a bloody league channel or something like that

Nah - you are adding it wrong.

We are GMT+14hours so 2pm GMT + 14hours = 4am the next day

At least you guys in Australia are getting a chance to see the games. Sky and Primetv aren't going to show the games.

Very disappointing since Primetv is owned by the Nine Network and Sky is mostly owned by INL (News Corp).

In the Telegraph today, it said the game will be shown at 5am Monday morning and then there will be a replay at 6pm on Fox Sports 2.

Speaking of coverage, much better from the daily tele yesterday, a whole 1 page. I've even bought the paper the last 2 days, as Billy was on the front of thursdays.

But truelly our League journos outside of a couple, have no idea when it comes to Internationals. I can almost guarentee we'll put a good score past Wales and suddenly the media will talk up our form. But realistically a 30 point win over this Wales would probably be no better performance than the tight victory over the much stronger England A.

i will not buy the telegraph until the onion is over, and i am appauled buy the treatment of league in all media

Yeh they didnt even have anywhere near half a page of league today. All u can read about is the union.

I have know idea why the Telegraph would be trying to alienate RL fans at the moment, i realise they must cover the WC but surley they can manage a few pages on Rugby League.

They could be running a Kangaroo diary or an insight into the GB squad as most Australians have no idea who they are or what clubs they play for. I can't wait for the November edition of Rugby League Reveiw.

 

[dimitri]

i agree i have no idea why they dont have a daily diary of the tour or something


:roll:

There's no November issue of RLR. In the October edition, it said the next one out will be the December edition with a full review of the Roo tour.
